The large transfer of BTC sparked buzz in the crypto community, with speculation of a test of BTC price to its all-time high of $73,750.
“We noticed a fresh wallet withdrew 500 BTC ($33.07M) from) Binance,” said Lookonchain. This is one of the large transfers after Bitcoin halving that saw transaction fee rising to all-time high of $128.45. Nearly, $2.4 million in fees were paid for transactions in Bitcoin block 840,000 to mark the the halving, said CryptoQuant CEO&nbsp;Ki Young Ju.

The new whales’ initial investment in Bitcoin are almost twice the old whales’ cumulative total, said CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. Long-term holders are taking profits and the likelihood of long-term investors capitalizing on price ascents to realize profits is high enough as more number of wallets are in profit.

While this is a real challenge for arbitrage-seeking crypto hedge funds, futures traders are also not willing to buy and pour more money into the market.
“A reason could be that futures traders have become uncertain about the upside in the current environment,”&nbsp; stated Matrixport. CME BTC Futures Open Interest fell over 1% in the past 24 hours, with a selling seen in the last few hours, as per Coinglass data.
<a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC price</a> is consolidating near $66,000 as expected, with the price currently trading at $66,009. The 24-hour low and high are $65,705 and $67,233, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has decreased slightly in the last 24 hours.
