Bitcoin Whales Take Advantage of Market Dip
Following Bitcoin’s recent drop to $83,000, large investors have seized the opportunity to accumulate BTC. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reported that whales have purchased over 20,000 BTC since the price dipped below $88,000 on February 24.
Additionally, Martinez highlighted Bitcoin’s Sharpe Ratio, which measures risk-adjusted returns. The indicator suggests that Bitcoin has reset from a high-risk to a low-risk zone, signaling a potential buy-the-dip moment for investors positioning themselves for future gains.
With growing institutional interest and strategic BTC accumulation, Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy continues to drive market confidence.
