On-chain data shows a particular <\/span>Bitcoin whale<\/span><\/a> who accumulated almost $400 million between July 30 and 31. This whale is believed to have purchased the flagship crypto, having seen an opportunity to profit massively thanks to <\/span>Bitcoin\u2019s recent price action<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain<\/span><\/a> revealed in an X (formerly Twitter) <\/span>post<\/span><\/a> that a Bitcoin whale (12QVs\u2026oN2qo) has withdrawn 5,800 BTC ($387.88 million) from <\/span>Binance<\/span><\/a> in the past two days. This purchase suggests the whale anticipates higher prices from the flagship crypto soon enough and is looking to profit from such a price rally when the time comes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Interestingly, this purchase comes amid a decline in Bitcoin\u2019s price, meaning that the whale sees this as a \u2018<\/span>buy the dip\u2019 opportunity<\/span><\/a>. Bitcoin dropped to as low as $63,500 on July 31, having rebounded to almost $70,000 days ago. This price drop can be attributed to several factors, including concerns over <\/span>reports<\/span><\/a> that Iran had ordered a retaliatory attack against Israel for killing Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting was held on July 31, and the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged. <\/span>Fed Chair Jerome Powell<\/span><\/a> also said little to suggest that an interest rate cut could come in September, another factor contributing to Bitcoin\u2019s recent decline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Despite its recent decline, Bitcoin is expected to enjoy another rebound soon enough and possibly break above the $70,000 range on its next leg up and rise to an <\/span>all-time high (ATH)<\/span><\/a>. Crypto analyst <\/span>Michael van de Poppe<\/span><\/a> recently <\/span>mentioned<\/span><\/a> that Bitcoin looks good to continue toward a new ATH next month as long as the flagship crypto stays above $60,000 to $62,000.<\/span><\/p>\n Data<\/span><\/a> from the market intelligence platform <\/span>IntoTheBlock<\/span><\/a> shows that Bitcoin whales, holding at least <\/span>0.1% of BTC’s circulating supply<\/span><\/a>, bought over 84,000 BTC in July. This represents these whales’ largest monthly wave of Bitcoin accumulation since October 2014. These investors looked to take advantage of the <\/span>price dips<\/span><\/a> that Bitcoin suffered in July.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Bitcoin\u2019s price crashes in June<\/span><\/a> extended into the beginning of July, as the flagship crypto dropped to as low as $55,000. However, this BTC accumulation from these whales paid off, as the crypto token enjoyed a massive rebound in the latter parts of July and a monthly close in the green.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These whales will still hope Bitcoin can record more impressive gains in August. <\/span>Data<\/span><\/a> from Cryptorank shows that Bitcoin has historically not enjoyed the best price action in August, ending the month in the red on eight occasions since 2011.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $64,400, down almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to <\/span>data<\/span><\/a> from CoinMarketCap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBitcoin Whale Purchases Almost $400 Million Worth Of BTC<\/h2>\n
