Data shows that the number of coins held by whale entities reached its peak since May, going up to 4.216 million from 80.000. Whales are considered the addresses controlled by a single network participant that possesses between 1.000 and 10.000 bitcoins.

The number of wealthy investors also reached a 3-week high of 1922.

This is a good indicator for BTC, which shows that although there was a major selloff recently, whales still tend to increase their holdings.

Currently, Bitcoin trades at about $34.700. Its market cap stands at $652.3 B, and market dominance is 44,64%. The BTC price has increased by 1.78% over the last 24 hours. For now, $34.000 is its support level and $36.000 the resistance level as the coin faces difficulty to break above it.
