Bitcoin whales move dormant coins after a decade
A mysterious Bitcoin whale moved a large volume of BTC that was lying dormant for a decade. Based on data from the Bitcoin blockchain, long-term holders are moving BTC held dormant for over a decade during the ongoing bear market. Typically, the movement of large volumes of dormant Bitcoin is associated with a trend reversal in the asset.
In the past week, nearly $10 million in dormant Bitcoin was moved. Philip Swift, the creator of Lookintobitcoin, notes that a movement of 510.65 Bitcoin started in a prolonged bear market.
The asset's cycle low is slightly above the $18,000 level.

BTC-USD price chart
CryptoCapo, a crypto trader and analyst, remains opposed to the idea of a rally in Bitcoin price. The analyst believes a quick fakeout to $20,500 is likely, however, Bitcoin could witness a correction soon after.
Regarding $BTC and the rest of the market, a quick scam pump to 20500 is likely, but I wouldn't be bullish.
