Bitcoin’s 12% God Candle: Did OG Whales Just Kickstart the Next Bull Market?

A lot can change in the cryptocurrency markets within relatively small time windows, sometimes even hours. This is what took place over the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin stood sideways below $65,000, where it spent most of the past several weeks. It had calmed in a tight range between $62,000 and $65,000, as both boundaries were too strong to be overtaken.

However, it all changed suddenly on Wednesday afternoon. While the reasons are still widely debated, perhaps the US Treasury Department’s move and the White House crypto event are leading the speculation.

CryptoQuant’s CEO, though, outlined something different that might have caused the sharp uptick – OG whales. According to the prominent analyst, these highly important market participants opened massive longs at BTC’s price bottom of under $63,000 last week, and the asset took off within days.

As such, he determined that they “still know, or decide, when the Bitcoin bull run starts.”
