Bitcoin price is at key level at whale activity hits peak

Bitcoin price is at a make or break point as whale activity hits a peak in the asset. A group of large wallet investors who bought the Bitcoin dip on Coinbase in the last week of December 2021, fueled the demand for the asset. 

The whale activity triggered a spike in Bitcoin price. However, the asset suffered a drop from its local top in the first two days of 2022. The overall trading volume and on-chain activity of Bitcoin dropped on Coinbase. 

Jeremy Siegel, a Wharton professor believes that Bitcoin has stood out as a hedge against inflation, replacing gold. Siegel told CNBC in an interview, "Let's face the fact, I think bitcoin as an inflation hedge in the minds of many of the younger investors has replaced gold. Digital coins are the new gold for the millennials."

With its limited supply of 21 million and scarcity, Bitcoin has replaced gold for the millennial investor. 

@mark_cullen, a crypto analyst and trader has predicted that large wallet investors are trying to push Bitcoin price lower. The analyst believes that the sell wall of 3,600 Bitcoins on FTX exchange implies that Bitcoin price is likely to hold $45,000 longer than intended.
