Last week, Whale Alert reported a large Bitcoin transaction worth $123 million, which originated from Gate.io and was transferred to an unidentified wallet. The amount sent was 5,278 BTC.

Earlier this week, the blockchain analytics platform Santiment said that investors should keep a close watch on the behavior of BTC whales.

“Bitcoin has launched to a six-month high, surprising the bearish trader sentiment. With prices jumping above $24,200 for the first time since August 14th, 2022, watch for whale addresses increasing as a sign of increased key stakeholder confidence,” Santiment tweeted. 

Santiment also suggested its followers monitor the trading volume on Bitcoin. 

#Bitcoin is up to $22.9k, and it saw a nice isolated price pump approximately 6 hours ago that pushed it ahead of most of the #altcoin pack. January was the time of #alt recoveries, so keep an eye on whales & trading volume shifting over to $BTC. 👀 https://t.co/xOGLc1hZhW pic.twitter.com/hIxI5Iqv96
