A blockchain whale from the early days of Bitcoin has just triggered a significant transfer of 2,000 bitcoins, according to data revealed by CryptoQuant experts. Notably, this is the first movement of this magnitude since late 2024, when BTC was trading around $91,000.

In the current context, with Bitcoin (BTC) trading at $96.93K, this fund movement by a Satoshi-era holder draws attention to the behavior of early network adopters. Analysts have historically observed that movements of these ancient whales tend to occur at crucial market moments, often serving as indicators of volatility or cycle changes.

The reactivity of this old Bitcoin holder suggests a potential market signal. While some interpret these movements as preparations for liquidity or portfolio rebalancing, others see them as indicators of selling pressure or strategic shifts in the positions of these historic holders who have remained inactive for months.

The event underscores the importance of monitoring Satoshi whales’ activity as a thermometer of market sentiment in Bitcoin.
