Notably, the transactions, totaling over $903 million in BTC, include 620 BTC valued at $58.5 million, 888 BTC worth $83.9 million, and 1,027 BTC valued at $96.7 million, all transferred from Kraken to unknown wallets.

Bitcoin’s price is down to $94,507, below its all-time high. Long-Term Holders (LTHs) are still selling but at a slower pace. Even though the selling has slowed, Bitcoin’s price may still rise, as past cycles show that selling doesn’t always mean the price has peaked. Most LTHs are still in profit, and there are no signs of major losses yet. Rate Cut and Inflation Concerns The Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes showed that it plans to pause interest rate cuts in 2025 due to ongoing concerns about persistent inflation. Besides, on Friday, jobs data from the U.S. showed low unemployment, which economists believe could lead to more inflation. As a result, the asset’s price fell to as low as $91,914. Besides, after strong inflows to American ETFs on Monday, investors began rapidly withdrawing funds. On Wednesday, the largest withdrawal since December occurred, with over half a billion dollars cashed out, causing the Bitcoin’s price to drop. The Silk Road Sale Recently, A U.S. judge has allowed the forfeiture of over 69,000 Bitcoin seized from the Silk Road dark web marketplace, worth $6.5 billion. While the assets won’t be sold immediately, the potential sale could affect Bitcoin’s market price in the future. Analyst Bullish? On the other side, on chain analyst Ali Martinez, in a recent X post noted that instead of a head-and-shoulders pattern, Bitcoin might be forming a bull pennant, which signals a continuation of an uptrend. If this pattern holds, Bitcoin could target $140,000 next. If the bull pennant plays out, Bitcoin could experience significant upward momentum, challenging the bearish head-and-shoulders predictions. What if instead of the head-and-shoulders top everyone is talking about, #Bitcoin $BTC is actually forming a bull pennant, targeting $140,000 next? pic.twitter.com/50iE0xJGXp — Ali (@ali_charts) January 11, 2025
