Whales and institutions increase their Bitcoins before Easter, because market analysts predict a weekend with less volatility after two weeks of increased volatility motivated by the escalation of global trade tensions.
A portfolio linked to the investment company based in London, Abraxas Capital, acquired 2,949 Bitcoin (BTC) worth more than $ 250 million during the four days preceding on April 19.
In the last transaction, the company bought more than $ 45 million in Binance Bitcoin on April 18, according to the Crypto Lookonchain intelligence company, citing the data of Arkham Intelligence.
The investment occurred a few days after Michael Saylor’s strategy bought $ 285 million Bitcoin at an average price of $ 82,618 per BTC, because the biggest corporate bitcoin holders in the world signal that continuous confidence in Bitcoin, in the midst of the uncertainty of the global price.
Large Bitcoin investors, or whales, continue to accumulate, absorbing more than 300% of the annual Bitcoin emission while exchanges continue to lose parts at a historic pace, Cointelegraph reported on April 18.

Despite a continuous accumulation of whales and institutions, volatility problems were raised by significant movements of the Bitcoin cohort in the medium term, which holds parts for an average of three to six months.
More than 170,000 Bitcoin came into circulation from the medium -term cohort, a development that can point out the volatility of the “imminent” cryptography market, according to the pseudonym analyst of the cryptocurrency Mignolet.
“The effect of this metric on LTF movements is overestimated as a big movement of coins almost never indicates the action of weekend prices, because it is not on the liquid markets or the CEX markets,” said Bitfinex Exchange analysts in Cointelegraph, adding:

Marcin Kazmierczak, chief of the Redstone Oracles exploitation, added that recent movements can be operational transfers, not necessarily signs of imminent sales pressure.
However, the concerns during the volatility of the weekend have been amplified in the last two weeks after the price of the Mantra token (OM) collapsed by more than 90% on Sunday April 13, going from $ 6.30 to less than $ 0.50, triggering the allegations of market manipulation and highlighting “critical” liquidity problems.
Two weeks ago, on April 6, Bitcoin fell below $ 75,000 on Sunday, while investors’ concerns were spread from a record sale of 5 billions of dollars of the S&P 500, its most important never recorded.
The correction was caused by the availability of 24 and 7 days a week from Bitcoin, which made it the only large liquid asset available on Sunday, Blockstream CEO, Adam Back told Cointelegraph.
“A weekend, there is not much volume. So you have a worst risk of fast redemptions or flash hollows that fill up,” he said.
