Bitcoin experienced a correction after reaching a local high of $62,370 on October 5, following a period of consolidation around the $60,000 mark. This movement coincided with rising geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel, which added volatility to the market. Interestingly, data suggests that whales—large holders of Bitcoin—have not participated in this latest selloff, indicating that the downturn may not be driven by significant profit-taking from major investors.
The broader crypto market saw bullish momentum after the U.S. jobs report, but the recent correction reflects the ongoing uncertainty and fluctuation inherent in the cryptocurrency space. As Bitcoin stabilizes, market watchers will be keeping an eye on key support levels and any potential influences from external factors.
Bitcoin has seen a slight decline of 0.2% over the past 24 hours, trading at $61,950, with daily trading volume down 53% to approximately $12.2 billion. Interestingly, on October 5, large Bitcoin holders recorded a net inflow of 205 BTC, suggesting that whales have not been selling off their holdings despite the price fluctuations above the $62,000 mark. This could indicate confidence among larger investors, as outflows remained neutral during this period. As the market continues to navigate volatility, the behavior of these large holders may provide insight into future price movements.
