Forecast Trend Report by Period



Bitcoin whale holdings were virtually unchanged over the past week, in a sign that large investors are staying on the sidelines ahead of major U.S. economic events.
On Sept. 9, crypto analyst Ali Martinez, citing on-chain data, said Bitcoin whales kept their holdings at about 5.23 million BTC during the past week.
The lack of a clear shift in those holdings suggests large investors have refrained from aggressive buying or selling.
"Bitcoin whales are waiting," Martinez wrote, adding that they are watching the U.S. consumer price index report and the Federal Open Market Committee meeting before deciding their next move.
Market participants view the CPI data and the FOMC's rate decision as key factors that could shape the direction of Bitcoin and the broader digital-asset market.
