Bitcoin Address Reactivation Follows Price Dip
Crypto analytics platform, Whale Alert has spotted the reactivation of a Bitcoin address that has been dormant for approximately 11.1 years.
The address in question contains 20 BTC which is currently valued at $1.13 million based on the market price of Bitcoin at the time of this writing. Upon its reactivation, the BTC address has transferred its holdings to an unknown wallet address.
It is worth acknowledging that this kind of wallet activities have become rampant these past few days. All of a sudden, wallets that were dormant for many years begin to show signs of activity. Importantly, their reactivation coincide with the period that BTC price is receding.
From an all-time-high (ATH) of over $73,000 in mid-March, Bitcoin gradually dropped until it found support at $65,000. The firstborn digital currency hovered around this level for a few weeks, hinged on the flows from spot Bitcoin ETFs that was approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January. However, as the crypto ETF saw more outflows compared to inflows, Bitcoin saw its value plummet drastically.
At the time of this writing, the coin was more than 25% lower than the ATH it registered in March. CoinMarketCap data shows that the coin is currently trading at $56,693.72 with a 2.87% drop in the last 24 hours. Some experts that Bitcoin may experience further dip, especially after it went below 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).
However, it is not yet clear how much further down the coin will go.
Multiple BTC Dump Haunt Crypto Market
On Wednesday, Whale Alert also noted the reactivation of a Bitcoin address containing 43 Bitcoin but had laid dormant for more than 10 years. This was after two dormant Bitcoin whale addresses with the markers “16vRqA” and “1DUJuH” reportedly came alive. Both wallets held 500 BTC each.
