Data from the Santiment team shows that whales holding between 100 and 1,000 bitcoins have been active over the past few months. They buy BTC after every correction.

As a result, as a result of spring sales, the number of whale wallets with a balance of 100 to 1,000 coins increased by another 134 to 13,737, the researchers found.

Josh Olszewicz, head of research at Valkyrie Investments, believes that the bears will retain control of the market in the coming weeks. Macroeconomic factors are pushing capital to exit digital currencies. However, a stampede is unlikely, and most likely, we are in for stagnation and trading in a narrow range.
