Last week, Bitcoin had some remarkable fundamental growth. This appears to have occurred as Bitcoin moved into the $7k zone.

The whales have likewise contributed to this fundamental growth, as it seems that they are accumulating coins heavily after the market crash in mid-March.

These factors seem to show that Bitcoin is currently having some remarkable fundamental strength and could also be pointing at an optimistic short-term outlook.

Recently, in Glassnode’s weekly report, it was revealed that Bitcoin recorded some remarkable fundamental growth last week, as observed in its transactional volume (increased by more than 23 percent) and increase in the number of active traders. This happened as the price of Bitcoin rose from lows of $6.7k to highs of $7.5k.

One of the reasons for the increased transaction volume is the whales’ accumulation. Data shows that the number of individuals with more than 1,000 BTC has increased remarkably since Bitcoin crashed to $3.8k on March 12.

Glassnode concluded that big players are looking forward an imminent rally in the near-term, and may be valid as there will be reduced inflation from the halving.
