The moving averages indicated a bullish divergence, while the MACD indicator showed a possible bullish crossover for the token in the near future.

Moreover, a report by Glassnode Insights suggested that there has been an increase in the accumulation of BAT by whales over the last five months. According to their report, there were three addresses that held over $10 million worth of BAT.

In addition, the report also stated:

“… 52% of BAT tokens are held by only the top 0.6% of addresses!…”

It also summarized that the top 5% of the addresses held over more than 94% of all BAT and 1% of the addresses held 87% of BAT. The rise in interest towards BAT was attributed to a surprising reason.

“While the balance of the top 1% accounts had decreased from late 2017 to Oct 2018, it has since been rapidly surging, with the richest accounts increasing their holdings by +5% within the last 5 months! Whales have recently been accumulating BAT and the total amount they currently hold is at an All Time High.”
