In clear contradiction, orders with ticket size over $100,000 have become a frequent happening, a huge change from Bitcoin’s past. Small ticket purchases have declined in 2021, supporting the argument that institutions are buying whatever is available on various exchanges.
Along with a chart, Material Indicators tweeted as follows:
“The $100k – $1M class is now also about to make a new ATH.”
Material Indicators had earlier echoed worries about the week’s price increase, pointing that whales could profit from the rally, creating a repetition of the uptrend to $58,000, which is all-time peak, and consequent 25% retracement.
Analysts also pointed out that macroeconomic factors also had a distinct impact on the price movement. Whale buying orders faded following news that the US Senate has endorsed the $1.90 trillion, selling pressure increased on reports that China provided support to stocks focused on tech firms.
In the meanwhile, another chunk of roughly 12,000 Bitcoin moved out of institutional level trading platform Coinbase Pro as huge quantities are being bought at current prices. Interestingly, technology has brought about drastic changes in equity markets.
