Are Bitcoin Whales Buying The Dip?

Bitcoin's recent price volatility has led many to wonder if large-scale bitcoin hodlers are taking advantage of price dips to accumulate more bitcoin. While some metrics may initially suggest an increase in long-term holdings, a closer examination reveals a more nuanced story, especially after the current prolonged period of choppy consolidation.

Are Long-Term Holders Accumulating?

Upon initial observation, long-term Bitcoin holders are seemingly increasing their holdings. According to the Long Term Holder Supply, since July 30th, the amount of BTC held by long-term holders has increased from 14.86 million to 15.36 million BTC. This surge of around 500,000 BTC has led some to believe that long-term holders are aggressively buying the dip, potentially setting the stage for the next significant price rally.
