Citing Arkham Intelligence data, news aggregator BTC_Archive speculated the whale’s latest transfer could be linked to another big trade ahead, potentially linked to key upcoming macro events including the next US Fed rate cut decision slated for Oct. 29 and the ongoing US Government Shutdown.
Bitcoin price was changing hands near $111,400 at press time, having traded within the 2% narrow range between $110,235 to $113,622.38 intraday.
Bitcoin currently trades at $111,169, down 1.62% on the day. With risk sentiment improving after global markets priced in a delay in further US tariffs, Bitcoin’s performance has lagged behind the S&P 500 for three consecutive sessions.
The predictive accuracy of the Hyperunit wallet’s recent bet on Trump’s tariff announcement could see BTC speculative market participants cut down leverage exposure, anticipating cautious sentiment for the coming trading sessions.
X user StockStormX noted that the Hyperunit whale may be preparing for a macro-related move to capitalize on Bitcoin’s recent divergence from the US equities markets.
Smart money moving to exchanges usually means action coming soon. If they nailed the tariff short they’re probably setting up another macro play. $BTC correlation with equities been breaking down lately so could see some divergence

Validating this stance, Coinglass’ derivatives data shows Bitcoin futures volume dropped 32.77% in the last 24 hours to $96.56 billion, while BTC Open interest declined 2.32% to $72.62 billion. Long to Short ratio also tilted bearish to 0.99, confirming rapid deleveraging in the aftermath of the Hyperunit whale’s latest transaction on Oct. 15.

After facing a strong rejection at the $65,000 level, the Bitcoin price has once again seen strong selling pressure taking support at the $58,000 level. On the other hand, the Bitcoin whale wallets with 100 plus BTC have reached a 17-month high ahead of some key events scheduled for the month of September.
Despite the recent market disappointments and volatility over the past month, Bitcoin whale accumulation has continued with a steady surge in whale holdings per the Santiment report. Over the last month, BTC whale wallets holding more than 100 Bitcoins have surged by 283, thereby taking the total number of such wallets to 16,120. This represents the highest number of such large holders in the last 17 months.
Further data from Santiment also reveals a strong reduction in the BTC supply on the exchanges, dropping by 40,000, Bitcoins worth $2.4 billion, in the last three days. These exchange outflows suggest that Bitcoin whales are moving the BTC to cold storage in huge quantities and buying Bitcoin dips aggressively.
This whale accumulation coupled with positive macro indicators can provide a catalyst for the Bitcoin price to regain $60,000 again. On Friday, the US PCE inflation data came at 2.5%, much lower than the market expectations. Furthermore, the US core PCE index for the last month of July stood at 0.2% on a month-on-month basis.
The next month of September could be absolutely eventful for the crypto markets moving ahead. To begin with, the Cardano Chang Upgrade will go live on Sunday, September 1, steering the blockchain network towards the path of strong governance and further decentralization.
The most-awaited event will be the FOMC meeting in September and Jerome Powell’s decision on interest rate cuts. However, it would be interesting to see whether this would be a 25-bps rate cut or a 50-basis rate cut. By the year-end, the market is considering the possibility of a 100 bps rate cut in total. Along with the macro optimism, some top altcoins will be on investors’ radar looking to kickstart the next alt season.
Furthermore, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are set for the first presidential debate and the crypto community is all ears to this development as the crypto industry has been the center-point for the political agenda of the 2024 US Presidential elections.
On the other hand, the Asian market is gearing up for major crypto events such as the Korean Blockchain Week starting September 9. Similarly, the Token2049 event will happen later in the month in Singapore. These developments coupled with Bitcoin whale accumulation and drop in exchange supply could be a major trigger for the next phase of the rally.
There may be a lot of events that cause market fluctuations in September, such as the debate between Trump and Harris, the FOMC of the Fed starting to cut interest rates, CZ’s release from prison, etc. In addition, the Korean Blockchain Week and Singapore 2049 will also be held… pic.twitter.com/4lZXhQJTFZ

Bitcoin started the new week in an uptrend, signaling a return of bullish sentiment among crypto investors. This bullish sentiment has continued to propel the price forward with $70,000 remaining the major target from here. According to one analyst, this recovery signals an entrance into the final wave, which is Wave 5, that could send the BTC price back toward its ATH price.
In a TradingView post, crypto analyst Arthur Signals shared an interesting analysis of the Bitcoin price, saying that the cryptocurrency has entered the final Wave 5. The analysis goes through the BTC performance in the month of July, identifying the start of Wave 1 when the price first surged from its lows below $54,000.
Moving forward, Wave 2 happened with the crash back down from $60,000 to $56,000. Wave 3 followed right after with an increase above $65,000, while Wave 4 was the decline to $63,000 that was recorded over the weekend.
The current leaves only Wave 5, which is usually the most bullish of all the waves. With this final wave, the crypto analyst expects the price of Bitcoin to eventually break above $70,000 and rise toward its current all-time high of $73,000.
However, for the BTC price to properly complete this move, it has to break the $68,275 peak that was recorded on Sunday. From here, the Bitcoin price would need to create a new peak to confirm the breakout, which has a $72,000 target from the crypto analyst.
While the wave formations on the Bitcoin chart paint a bullish picture for the price, there are also other developments that are bullish for the price, and one of those is the US presidential elections. On Sunday, incumbent president Joe Biden announced that he was stepping down from the race, giving his support to Vice President Kamala Harris to run on the Democratic ticket.
This development has so far been bullish as the market now expects a victory for Donald Trump, who has been openly vocal about his support for cryptocurrencies. “Biden’s announcement, after some unexpected volatility, has given Bitcoin bullish momentum as the market strengthens its confidence in a Republican election victory,” Arthur Signals pointed out in the post.
If Trump does emerge victorious in the election, which is scheduled to be held in November, it will be a positive development for crypto. Trump has declared support for Bitcoin, hinting at using it for treasure purposes. This, in addition to rumors that Trump is considering BlackRock CEO Larry Fink as Treasury Secretary, has sparked bullish expectations for Bitcoin this year.

The crypto market is buzzing with anticipation with a flurry of key events expected to impact Bitcoin and altcoins trading this week. The crypto market has been highly volatile lately, with BTC dumps from the governments, Mt. Gox repayment woes, and other related factors. However, this week would be crucial for the digital assets space, with a flurry of events expected to weigh on the market sentiment.
The soaring buzz over the U.S. Spot Ethereum ETF approval by the SEC has been evidenced by the recent discussions in the crypto market. Apart from altcoins, the approval is also expected to show its impact on Bitcoin performance.
Meanwhile, recent comments from Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas and ETF Store President Nate Geraci highlight the SEC’s silence on the matter. However, despite the “tight-lipped” stance from the regulators, the experts still provided a bullish outlook on a potential approval or advancement in this coming week.
Notably, the market is anticipating BTC and altcoins to rally on the heels of the Ethereum ETF approval. In addition, the recent robust inflow into the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF has further bolstered market sentiment.
In macroeconomic news, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak on Monday, July 15, which would be closely watched by the financial sector. Notably, given the set of mixed inflation data recently, Jerome Powell’s comment would be crucial in gauging the central bank’s current stance with their monetary policy.
For context, the latest U.S. CPI data has indicated a significant cooling inflation in the nation. Notably, it has also raised bets over three interest rate cuts in 2024, up from the previous expectations of two rate cuts. However, the U.S. PPI last week came in hotter-than-anticipated, weighing on the broader market sentiment.
Having said that, if the Fed Chair comments on the central bank’s upcoming move with the interest rate plans, it might influence the BTC and crypto market sentiment. In addition, other Fed officials like Fed Gov. Adriana Kugler, NY Fed President Williams, and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic are also scheduled to share their remarks this week.
The XRP price has rallied significantly over the weekend, as July 13 marks an important date in Ripple Vs. SEC lawsuit. On July 13, 2023, Judge Torres ruled that XRP is not a security, and this year, Ripple executives have lauded the development.
As a result, XRP soared over 12%, reflecting growing market interest in the crypto. However, amid this, the U.S. SEC has announced to hold a “closed” meeting on July 18. Having said that, the XRP community speculates that the meeting could be focused on a potential settlement in the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit.
In addition, a flurry of market experts also anticipates the legal battle to come to a conclusion very soon. Considering that, the lawsuit conclusion is likely to have a significant impact on the altcoins sector as well as on Bitcoin.

The events will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the cryptos. In addition, the selloff pressure from the German government also shrunk, with the govt selling its last BTC in the prior week.
On the other hand, U.S. Spot BTC ETF issuers globally are on a buying spree, according to the latest reports. If the momentum continues, BTC could witness a significant uptick in its price. In a recent analysis, crypto market expert Ali Martinez said that if Bitcoin can break above the $59,200 mark, the next stop for BTC could be around $64,000.
Talking about the altcoins, crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe sees a bright future for the sector. After a recent price correction, van de Poppe points to a strong weekly bounce and supports around $500 billion market capitalization. Based on this, he predicts altcoins will reach a new all-time high by early 2025.
