<p>The <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/bitcoin-price-prediction/">Bitcoin price</a> has corrected from its recent peak of over $29,000 to around $26,000 in the past three weeks. However, on-chain data is indicating that well-funded investors are still interested in the leading digital asset.</p> 
<p>Some investors are waiting for the price to drop to the $24,500 mark, which is a key psychological support level. Others are closely watching the sustained bearish sentiment in the crypto market. Trading volume for Bitcoin on exchanges has reached a nearly five-year low, according to an on-chain analysis by CryptoQuant.</p> 
<h2 id="bybits-bitcoin-outflows" data-name="bybits-bitcoin-outflows" class="wp-block-heading">Bybit’s Bitcoin Outflows </h2> 
<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/crypto-live-news/binance-okx-and-bybit-ban-russian-users-and-bank-accounts-on-p2p-platforms/">Bybit</a>, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange based in Dubai, has recently experienced significant outflows of Bitcoin. Aggregate on-chain data from Coinglass shows that more than 31,900 Bitcoins have been withdrawn from Bybit in the past week alone.</p>

<p>Crypto data analyst James V. Straten from London believes that over 12,500 of these Bitcoin withdrawals were made by crypto whales. However, Bybit’s CEO, Ben Zhou, has denied this claim, saying that the exchange had proactively communicated to users about a planned movement of coins to cold storage, which is a more secure way to store Bitcoin.</p>

<h2 id="prepare-for-some-volatility" data-name="prepare-for-some-volatility" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>P</strong>repare for Some Volatility!</h2> 
<p>The substantial outflow of Bitcoin from a single exchange, even if it is not due to whale activity, has the potential to trigger significant speculation and induce price volatility. This is because it could lead investors to believe that there is less demand for Bitcoin.</p>

<p>As the cryptocurrency market navigates through a period of price correction and bearish outlook, attention is drawn to the activities of deep-pocketed investors and their influence on market dynamics. The situation with Bybit’s Bitcoin outflows is a good example of the intricate relationship between on-chain data, investor behavior, and market speculation.</p>

<p>It is important to note that the cryptocurrency market is still volatile and unpredictable. Investors should carefully consider their risk appetite before making any investment decisions.</p>
