Bitcoin Whales Signal Potential Volatility Ahead of Central Bank Meetings

Bitcoin's price movement has been relatively stable, but signals from derivatives and on-chain markets suggest that market volatility may be on the horizon. Traders are closely monitoring global macro events, including the European Central Bank's annual policy forum and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's appearance, for any indications of changes in major central banks' policy stances that could impact risk appetite in both crypto and traditional markets.

Analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted that whales are transferring substantial funds to centralized exchanges. This behavior, coupled with decreasing exchange reserves and weakening stablecoin inflows, is often a precursor to significant market volatility. Adler Jr. emphasized that as long as Bitcoin maintains a price above $10,800, the baseline scenario points to a continuation of the uptrend, with a potential target of $11,200. This forecast is based on the current market conditions and the analyst's interpretation of on-chain data and derivatives signals.
