Bitcoin Whale Holdings Surge Post-ETF Launch

The past three weeks have been notably bullish for Bitcoin as the price showcased a rally from $56500 to $67654 registering a 9.74% jump. The recovery backed by increasing trading volume also developed a higher low formation indicating the market sentiment shifted to buy on dips.

On May 15th, the BTC price gave a decisive breakout from the channel pattern resistance which carried a correction trend since early April. If sustained, this breakout could intensify the buying momentum and signal the end of the prior correction.

According to crypto analytics firm IntoTheBlock, Bitcoin holdings by addresses with over 1,000 BTC have surged by 250,000 BTC since the launch of Bitcoin ETFs. This increase has brought whale holdings back near the levels observed before the FTX collapse.

The accompanying chart from IntoTheBlock illustrates this recovery in whale balances alongside the rising price of Bitcoin. The increase in whale holdings since the ETF launch highlights the growing institutional interest and support for Bitcoin, which could further stabilize and elevate its market position.

However, With overhead supply at $67500 intact, the BTC price showcases its sustainability above $65000. If the level holds, the buyers could lead a rally of $74000.
