BTC Whales Seize Buy-the-Dip Opportunity
Following the BTC price drop to $83,000 on Monday, whales have turned active once again buying the dips. Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed that Bitcoin whales have purchased over 20,000 BTC since the cryptocurrency’s price fell below $88,000 on February 24. This accumulation signals robust buy-side interest at these levels ass big players chip in to accumulate heavily.
Furthermore, analyst Martinez also pointed out the Bitcoin risk metrics i.e. Sharpe ratio, that provides risk-adjusted returns, which typically resets to a “Low Risk” zone after reaching “High Risk”.
Martinez noted that this dynamic provides an opportune moment for investors to prepare for a potential “buy-the-dip” scenario as the market stabilizes. Thus, at the current levels, investors are making a strategic accumulation of BTC positioning themselves for future gains.
