Whale Activity and Market Indicators
The BTC price drop comes amid declining whale activity. According to data, the number of whale transactions, consisting of at least $100,000 worth of BTC, has dropped by 51% over the past five days β decreasing from 11,757 transactions on May 15 to 5,756 transactions per day currently.
Similarly, the BTC Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been consistently declining along with whale activity. The Bitcoin RSI fell from 70 to 57 over the past five days. This indicator shows that Bitcoin has moved out of the overvalued zone, suggesting a potential price hike could be expected.
At this price point, the declining whale activity and RSI indicate lower price volatility for the largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
