Whales accumulated over $929M in Bitcoin in the last two weeks, should you BTC now?

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) whales are showing signs of sustained accumulation, which has been rare to see throughout this crypto winter. Whales have collectively added 46,173 BTC ($929 million) to their wallets.

Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization as well as overall appeal, and it has been hit hard by the crypto winter. 

However, this accumulation could signal a bullish run in the future of the cryptocurrency as confidence within BTC increases.

This trend is a turnaround from an 11-month-long drop in the BTC holdings of whales, which was also previously reported by Santiment. 

This latest accumulation is a signal that the BTC market has likely reached a bottom and could be poised for an upwards bounce.
