With the cryptocurrency market in a bearish trend, investors are watching for any indications of a possible recovery. Success may be achieved by managing whale transactions, especially transferring altcoins from an exchange into private storage. Thus, the Santiment crypto analytics platform releases a new algorithm to detect and monitor such trades.
Crypto Whale Impact
A recently published chart has shown that huge individual transactions in cryptocurrency may have a material effect on the pricing of certain coins. Based on data from the previous three months, the graphic displays price increases for assets recently seen as one of the top 10 most significant individual transactions. The greater the transaction was in US dollars, the higher the rise.
The importance of the black area bar, which denotes transactions that have just taken place today and have the greatest potential to affect price, is further highlighted by the chart. The days that are earlier in the week are represented by bars that are shorter and thinner, and the color of each bar correlates to the caption that is located at the very top of the chart.
Bitcoin’s chart, pictured on the left, now contains two transactions that are entirely off the axis, which may be explained by the enormous wallet migrations to Coinbase and several new wallets permitted by the Justice Department earlier this week. It seems from the graphic that the market sell-off on March 7 may have been unrelated to the $666 million Bitcoin transaction that occurred on that day.
The power of transactions
This chart serves as a reminder that large individual transactions can significantly impact cryptocurrency prices. Investors should note large transactions and monitor the market accordingly to make informed investment decisions.
The cryptocurrency market is known for its volatility, and the impact of large transactions on prices only reinforces the need for caution when investing in these assets. As always, investors should do their due diligence and consider the potential risks before investing in cryptocurrency.
