According to a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/whale_alert/status/1810746780327219660" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">update</a> from the Whale Alert service, a dormant address containing 24 Bitcoins ($1.4 million) has been activated for the first time in more than 11 years.&nbsp;
This is already the second ancient address that has sprung back to life within the last 24 hours.&nbsp;

According to Garner, the current behavior of major whales resembles the previous two cycle bottoms.&nbsp;
The largest cryptocurrency recently suffered from strong headwinds, including Mt. Gox repayments. However, it is now bouncing back after US-based spot ETFs recorded $438 million worth of inflows in just two days. This&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/whale_alert/status/1810746780327219660" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">undermines</a> the popular bearish narrative about ETF buyers potentially liquidating their holdings en masse in case of a severe downturn.&nbsp;
