Today, Bitcoin hit a 5-month high, breaking above $22.7K for the first time since August 18, 2022. The cryptocurrency community has welcomed this long-awaited rise.
Leading crypto analytics firm centiment Feed evaluated this development. According to the firm, the recent price surge is due to large Bitcoin whales with holdings between 1 and 10,000 BTC. The group of whales in question has added 64,638 BTC cumulatively at an estimated $1.46 billion over the past 15 days.
