Impact of whale accumulation
Crypto analysts said one of the positive impacts of whales buying large amounts of Bitcoin is that it helps stabilize the market. As a result, the crypto price might drop a bit or become more stable.
Reducing the volume of Bitcoin in the market could potentially make prices less susceptible to volatility. During previous whale accumulations, it was observed that the price of BTC generally behaves in a specific manner, where in most cases BTC remains stable or declines slightly.
This period of BTC accumulation could also indicate that whales have no immediate plans to sell their digital assets. This could indicate that whales are looking to capitalize on Bitcoin in the long term, so the accumulation phase is a strategic decision.
True indicator of Bitcoin growth
CryptoQuant said that whale accumulation could be seen as the “calm before the storm” in the long term, saying that Bitcoin prices move sideways or experience a moderate decline during the accumulation phase. However, CryptoQuant noted that there is no doubt that in the long term, this is an “optimistic sign.”

US elections could be a factor
Analysts said that whale activity is a key driver of the crypto market, but they said that BTC’s price change depends solely on whales, as several factors impact Bitcoin prices, and l The American presidential election is one of them.

Many Bitcoin analysts are looking ahead to the US national elections, which could be a defining moment for the digital currency market. This is a presidential election in which pro-crypto policies have been a key part of the candidates’ political agenda.
However, some investors are betting that no matter who wins the coveted seat in the White House, the price of Bitcoin will see a surge and could reach $80,000 by November.
