A Bitcoin whale has made a huge purchase signalling increasing market sentiment as the halving approaches. On-chain data from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qa87h3yv648nmngfjplskkcq238q7xz4g00575r" target="_blank">BitInfoCharts</a> shows an inflow of 15,745 BTC on April 6 amid the slight increase in prices in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
Despite the market trading sideways, bullish activity remains with analysts projecting more gains before the halving. Whales continue to influence the trend of cryptocurrencies, especially during key periods in a bullish cycle.

With corrections in BTC price after it pierced $70,000, huge movements can ignite bulls sparking increased market activity. At press time, Bitcoin trades at $68,063, a 0.4% rise in the last 24 hours. Experts suggest that the slump in the price of BTC might have awakened new bullish activity before a future rise.
MartyParty, a crypto commentator wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on the whale buying the price dip before the slight increase and the whale moving the assets out of the centralized crypto exchange, OKX.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “Whale movements: 30 min ago 15,745 Bitcoin was bought at $68079 and moved off @okx – worth $1.06b. A whale bought the dip right before the bounce.Wallet: bc1qa87h3yv648nmngfjplskkcq238q7xz4g00575r.”&nbsp;

The movement of assets out of <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/centralized-cryptocurrency-exchanges-cex/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">centralized exchanges</a> shows a higher urge to hold for a long time while transfers to exchanges signify selling pressures. This is because Bitcoin is easily sold on exchanges and held longer by other custodians.&nbsp;

In another development, a <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-whale-activates-dormant-115m-wallet-as-bitcoin-halving-looms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin whale</a> has resumed activity after a decade of dormancy. The whale holding 1,701 BTC valued at $115 million BTC transferred a total of 246 BTC to two addresses.
Although motives remain unknown, the upcoming halving has come into question as it is seen as a bullish phase for the asset. Bitcoin miners have also repositioned assets on exchanges and in reserves ahead of the halving coupled with increasing hash rates.&nbsp;
The recent surge in the price of Bitcoin comes following huge inflows after the approval of spot ETFs by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
