Crypto News Jan 24: Whales didn’t buy bitcoin dips in the last recession with Core Scientific, BabyDoge, Azuro, CBDC, NFT News

Based on the claim that whales are not buying bitcoin dips, the Central Bank of Korea has completed the first phase of its CBDC pilot program. Here are some highlights from the crypto market.

Bitcoin News

Morgan Creek co-founder Digital Anthony Pompliano examines key on-chain indicators to determine whether or not Bitcoin (BTC) whales are accumulating the highest crypto asset trading near $30,000.

In the latest episode of the Best Business Show, Pompliano said Bitcoin whales largely stood on the sidelines during the sharp correction, causing BTC to lose more than 50% of its value in two months.

“There is still a lack of large customers. On-chain whales, units with more than 1,000 bitcoins, they just don’t buy. Basically, purchasing power is just moving sideways… So even though prices are going up and down, we’re still only seeing sideways movement.”

Bitcoin Bull Says Whales Must Start Accumulating BTC for Price to Start Climbing

“Normally, for BTC price to trend up, whale activity has to trend up. Whales start buying, and then the price follows. This means that we should not expect BTC price to rise until we see increased whale buying activity.”

Pompliano also examines actual profit/loss metrics that track whether bitcoin holders are selling at a loss or making a profit. According to Morgan Creek CEO, Bitcoin’s abandonment phase seems to be coming to an end.

Pompliano is also tracking Bitcoin’s supply on the yield metric and says there are blinking signs that BTC may be bottoming out.

Bitcoin is currently changing hands at $33,900, down more than 18 percent from its seven-day high of $43,308.

Anyone who has been interested in crypto for a while and has been involved with Twitter or any other crypto community must have come across these McDonald’s memes.
