According to Santiment, the whales took advantage of the price drop to continue accumulating more BTC. As newspaper Reported by Daily Hodl, this crypto analytics firm revealed that the supply of BTC continues to shift away from exchanges, which is seen as a positive sign for the market.
This eases selling pressure in the market and reduces the risk of a further sell-off.
Santiment has also added that investor sentiment towards BTC on social media is at a seven-week low. The Social Sentiment Monitor analyzes comments about cryptocurrencies on social media to determine whether investors are bullish or bearish.
According to the company, prices tend to peak when sentiment is euphoric and bottom when sentiment is pessimistic.
📊 #Bitcoin dipped back as low as $56.9k in the early Monday hours, and this has pushed traders’ perceptions of $BTC into negative territory. This #bearish sentiment hasn’t been seen since early October, and the #FUD is a good sign of capitulation. https://t.co/6HND4o4SdG pic.twitter.com/mtgl02xQrB
