Bitcoin is still pushing a price recovery on its quest to return to the $70,000 price level. This has seen the cryptocurrency now trading above $69,000, up by 1.6% in the past 24 hours. This price fluctuation has occurred in the middle of increased accumulation activity from some whales and some short-term holders.  Related Reading: Forget Q1 Slump: Solana Explodes Over 300% Amid DEX Boom Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain has revealed an instance of whale activity on social media. An interesting transaction came from a whale wallet which recently woke up after 10 years of dormancy to transfer 246 BTC worth $16.73 million. Bitcoin Whale Wakes Up From 10-Year Slumber The Bitcoin blockchain is home to a vast number of early investors with large amounts of BTC that have remained dormant for many years. In fact, the re-ignition of dormant Bitcoin addresses has been sporadic for the past six months, particularly as the price of Bitcoin surged to new all-time highs and with most causing a stir and rising interest amongst Bitcoin investors. According to Lookonchain, a new Bitcoin whale address has been added to the roster of wallets raised from the dead. The whale address “1CLxmH” which held 1,701 BTC (worth $115 million at the time of writing) during its 10-year period of dormancy, recently woke up and transferred 246 BTC worth $16.73 million into another wallet. Interestingly, on-chain data shows the whale address received 4,272 BTC throughout 2013 at an average price of $29.39.  A whale with 1,701 $BTC($115.42M) woke up after 10 years of dormancy and transferred 246 $BTC($16.73M) out 20 mins ago.

Reactivations of old dormant wallets are often driven by whales looking to sell all or some of their holdings. Massive selloffs like this often lead to a price slump and increase the selling pressure from short-term investors. However, the motive behind the reactivation of dormant addresses is impossible to predict and not all of them indicate profit-taking.  Bitcoin market cap currently at $1.3 trillion.

After a retracement from its current high of $0.22960, the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) looks like it is not yet done as the memecoin bounced back and moving toward its current high. Dogecoin Price Technical Analysis Dogecoin is one of the few memecoins that have captured the hearts of many crypto investors. Like Shiba Inu and Pepecoin (PEPE), Dogecoin is backed up by a strong and exciting community which has played a huge role in its success so far.  At the time of writing, the price of DOGE was trading around $0.19713 and was up by over 5% in the last 24 hours. Also, the price is currently trading above the 100-day moving average with very strong bullish momentum in the 4-hour timeframe. The MACD indicator in the 4-hour timeframe suggests an upward spike. This is so because the MACD line and the MACD signal that was trending below the zero line have both crossed, heading toward the MACD zero line.  If the MACD line and the MACD signal line manage to cross above the MACD zero, Dogecoin might move higher to create a new high. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram is already trending above the zero line which suggests a bullish momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour timeframe also indicates a bullish momentum toward the upward direction as the RSI signal line has crossed above the 50% level and is heading towards the overbought zone. According to the RSI indicator, the strength of the upward movement is still very strong as buyers are still very active in the market. Potential Retracement On The Downside Given the price’s previous surge, two major resistance levels and one major support level were created around $0.22960, $0.2244, and $0.19622 respectively. If the price of DOGE manages to move above the resistance level of $0.22441 level, it might move even further upward toward the resistance level of $0.22960.  At this point, if the price succeeds in breaking above this level, the price might surge higher to create a new high. On the other hand, if the price fails to break above this resistance level, the price might start a new downward movement toward its previous support level of $0.19622. However, a breakout below the $0.19622 level could trigger a new downward trend. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
