This week’s initial and sudden drop in the price of Bitcoin from $8,500 to around $7,900 is being blamed on a separate Bitcoin whale.
The whale in question moved 25,160 BTC onto the crypto exchange Coinbase right before the drop, and moved the same amount of crypto to two unknown wallets right after the price crashed.
Right now, Bitcoin is down 2.62% at $7,584 according to COIN360. Ethereum is down 3.34% at $238.08 and XRP is up 2.54% at $0.4107.
Technical analysts are tracking Bitcoin’s volatility and the path ahead for altcoins as most of the market remains in the red.
