Interestingly, this particular whale had previously transferred 10,000 BTC into Coinbase on May 12th, when the price of Bitcoin was $27,620. Within a day of the whale’s previous deposit, the price of BTC plummeted to $25,811, representing a decline of 6%.
This begs the question: is there a correlation between the whale’s transactions and the subsequent price drop of Bitcoin?
