Today, Bitcoin price dropped to levels below $58,000 due to recession fears and geo-political tensions among other factors. 
However, Bitcoin whales have been recently accumulating coins as noted by CryptoQuant CEO, Ki Young Ju who highlighted that something significant was happening behind the scenes lately and noted that over $23 billion poured into BTC in the past 30 days.
