Strategic Whale Actions Highlight Market Timing Mastery 

The timing of this whale’s transactions makes its behavior especially notable. Selling 1,500 BTC for $102.6 million at an average price of $68,398 during a price top in March, the whale profited from a market boom.

This well-considered action not only proved the whale’s awareness of market cycles but also strengthened its status for wise trading. Currently holding 2,615 coins, valued at around $165 million, the whale has made a total profit of almost $181 million via this transaction-oriented development.

Previously, CNF revealed a notable movement in a dormant Bitcoin whale from 2009 who transferred $3.58 million worth of BTC to Kraken. Given that this whale still has over 1,169 BTC, this occurrence sparked rumors regarding the actual name of Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic designer of Bitcoin.

Since these BTC were mined one month following the mainnet debut, the acts of the big pocket investors are much more fascinating in the crypto market.

Meanwhile, as of writing, BTC is trading at about $62,774.25, slightly rising 0.21% over the last 24 hours. The daily trade volume is astonishingly $16.06 billion.
