Bitcoin and Ethereum Whales Buy Every Price Dip, Relief Rally Soon?
The world’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade under pressure after failing to move past $64,000 last week. As of press time, Bitcoin is trading 1.33% down at a price of $61,605 with a market cap of $1.213 trillion. The selling pressure is prominent in the broader cryptocurrency market with the Ethereum (ETH) price struggling to hold above $3,000 recently. However, as it turns out, the whale activity for these top two cryptocurrencies has been on the rise once again.
Bitcoin Whale Activity On The Rise
According to insights from on-chain data provider Santiment, as Bitcoin maintains a tight range between $61K and $64K, significant whale activity has been observed in the past 24 hours. Wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC have collectively amassed approximately $941 million worth of coins. This accumulation trend marks a rebound to their highest holding level in the past two weeks.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju stated that the fundamentals of the Bitcoin blockchain are strong enough to support a market cap that is three times its current size. As per him, bitcoin could easily sustain a price of $265K.

According to an analysis by Rekt Capital, as Bitcoin continues to consolidate within the range of its current price and $70,000 following the Halving event, the cycle is anticipated to decelerate. This deceleration is likely to realign the current cycle with the historically recurring Halving Cycle, potentially leading to a Bull Market peak around mid-September to October 2025.
Ethereum Whale Scoops $32 Million worth of ETH
According to insights from on-chain data provider Lookonchain, a significant investor holding a long position in Ethereum ($ETH) recently withdrew 6,030 ETH (equivalent to $18.09 million) from the exchange Binance. This withdrawal follows a pattern of accumulation, with the whale acquiring a total of 10,758 ETH (valued at $32.14 million) from Binance since May 2.
The investor then converted the ETH to staked Ethereum ($stETH) and deposited it into the decentralized lending platform Aave. Subsequently, they borrowed $28.5 million worth of stablecoins from Aave to reinvest in acquiring more Ethereum.

As of press time, the Ethereum price is trading just under $3,000. If ETH fails to hold these levels, we could see further price correction all the way to $2,700.
