Bitcoin accumulation by sharks and whales
The largest asset by market capitalization found support below $20,000 at the $19,000 level. Based on data from IntoTheBlock, a whopping 474,000 BTC worth $9.5 billion was purchased at $19,000.
Bitcoin price finds strong support at $19,000
This makes it a concentrated buying zone, where buyers step up when prices hover near the psychological barrier of $20,000.
Bitcoin network is in good health, the recent dip is not isolated to BTC
Technical experts at ByteTree argue that the recent decline in Bitcoin price is not isolated to BTC. It is a marketwide correction in response to inflationary pressures and tumultuous events relating to crypto-friendly banks.
Bitcoin transaction count
As seen in the chart above, the BTC on-chain transaction count has materially improved since the start of the year, while on-chain fees show a similar improvement. The overall health and miner revenue generation in Bitcoin is steady and this points at the possibility of a recovery in the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
