<p>In this struggling cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin Whales and sharks are the ones continuously taking advantage of the price drop. Over the last 30 days, Bitcoin (BTC) the world’s biggest cryptocurrency has experienced a significant price drop of over 14%, potentially due to Japan’s interest rate update, Mt. Gox’s massive BTC distribution, the German government’s BTC sell-off, and other factors.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-whales-and-sharks-accumulate-133k-btc"><strong>Bitcoin Whales and Sharks Accumulate 133k BTC</strong></h2>
<p>Amid this selling pressure, small traders, in panic, offloaded significant BTC holdings. Meanwhile, Whales and Sharks that hold 10-10k BTC have accumulated over 133.3k more coins, according to the on-chain analytic firm Santiment.</p>

<p>This accumulation indicates that the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bitcoin-price-dips-below-58000-top-analyst-says-prime-buying-opportunity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC price drop</a> is favorable for whales and sharks.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-price-prediction">Bitcoin Price Prediction</h2>

<p>In the last 20 days, BTC has revisited this support level several times, and each time it has experienced a price surge of over 8%. Based on the historical price momentum, there is a high chance that BTC could once again soar by 8% in the coming days.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, if BTC fails to hold the $58,000 level and closes a daily candle below the $57,500, there is a possibility it could experience a massive sell-off to the $54,000 level.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-falling-btc-price-and-open-interest"><strong>Falling BTC Price and Open Interest</strong></h3>
<p>At press time, BTC is trading near the $58,600 level and has experienced a price drop of over 5% in the last 24 hours. However, its trading volume has increased by 50% during the same period, indicating higher participation from traders amid price drops.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, BTC’s <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">open interest</a> has dropped by 10% in the last 24 hours, according to the data from the on-chain analytic firm CoinGlass. This decline in open interest indicates lower interest and increased fears in the market.</p>
