Alert: Bitcoin on-chain data hints ‘whales are taking profits’

Bitcoin (BTC) seems to have carved a local top in the $44,000 price zone, while on-chain whale activity hints at distribution.

Notably, a whale-alert Telegram bot has been constantly triggered for massive Bitcoin inflows in centralized exchanges. Onchain Edge first reported these alerts on CryptoQuant on December 22, suggesting a local BTC top.

In particular, three whale alerts on December 11, 20, and 22 show the Bitcoin mean inflow on all exchanges surging above 15 BTC. Each registered mean was 26.96 BTC, 15.56 BTC, and 18.15 BTC, respectively.

On another chart, Onchain Edge illustrates how each Bitcoin exchange inflow (mean) surge happened right after a price pump. Interestingly, a local top formation follows these in the aforementioned $44,000 zone.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading at $43.721 by press time on December 23, back in a solid price range. BTC entered this range on December 5 for the first time since April 2022, despite losing it back on December 11.

Coincidently, the range was lost within the first reported whale alert of a mean inflow of 26.98 BTC in all exchanges. Nevertheless, Bitcoin retested the range support at around $42,800 a few times before successfully re-entering it on December 20 – the second whale alert.

All things considered, the leading cryptocurrency faces a decisive moment after this third whale alert. The mean inflow of 18.15 BTC in all exchanges could settle another relevant price action within this range, which is currently topped at $44,729.

However, further developments will decide whether it will be a bullish or bearish trend. It is important to note that Bitcoin is currently showing strong momentum on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Suggesting that BTC could rise even with whales taking profits and distributing on the coming demand.

Benjamin Cowen, a cryptocurrency strategist, is bearish on Ethereum (ETH) because the second-largest digital asset has failed to climb back above a key resistance level. In a new video, Cowen tells his 785,000 YouTube subscribers that the price of Ethereum is likely to go down because there is a lot of “anxiety” around the $1,800 mark. Cowen says that there isn’t as much “apathy” in the market as there was during the bear season of 2019/2020. “There’s so much anxiety in this level [$1,800 resistance level] like I think it’s much more likely to break down eventually… I will be the first to admit it’s taking longer than I thought it would. But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...
