49,866 Old Bitcoins Move Without Hitting Exchanges: Data
The recently “moved” BTC were not sent to the exchange as whales continued to quietly sell and buy without leaving traces as much as possible.
An astonishing 49,866 Bitcoins, dormant for 5-7 years, were suddenly on the move on January 16th.
At an average unit price of $6,672, these old BTC present an enticing opportunity for buyers, promising a potential profit surge of around 640% upon resale. Notably, this volume wasn’t transferred to any crypto exchanges, as per the latest findings by CryptoQuant.

“This volume of 49,866 was not sent to the exchange, and recently, whales have often been seen quietly selling/buying without leaving traces as much as possible, but it is necessary to be careful in the short term that Bitcoin purchased in a cheap range has moved.”
