Though the price of BTC has been combining just overhead the $30k handle, on-chain data displays that when the price released to $28,800, bitcoin whales accepted the dip. Statistics from Glassnode’s web portal displays the number of addresses with more than 1,000 BTC has spikey after drumming the price bottom.
