Bitcoin's Rollercoaster: Whales Accumulate While ETF Outflows Raise Eyebrows Ahead of Election

BTCUSD trades highly volatile ahead of the US election. It hit a low of  $66798 yesterday and is currently trading at around $68839.

The election results could either boost Bitcoin prices to new highs or cause big drops, depending on how the new administration is seen to handle regulations.

Whales Activity:

Recent whale activity in Bitcoin (BTC) has been significant, highlighting the movements of large investors. A prominent whale withdrew 2,000 BTC (around $137 million) from the Bybit exchange, bringing their total to 51,710 BTC, worth about $3.57 billion. Additionally, since November 1, five whale addresses have bought a total of 2,780 BTC (about $192.4 million) despite Bitcoin's recent dip below $70,000. This accumulation indicates that these investors are optimistic about future price increases.

On November 4, 2024, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) faced significant outflows, totaling 541 million, marking the second-largest daily withdrawal in their history. This followed a period of strong inflows exceeding 3 billion since October 23. Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF led the outflows with $170 million withdrawn, while Ark Invest's ARKB and Bitwise's BITB saw withdrawals of $138 million and $80 million, respectively. Despite the overall trend, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF had a net inflow of $38 million, showing some strength in the market.
