Bitcoin Price Prediction as On-Chain Metrics Reveal Whales are Holding Despite Recent Surge
As Bitcoin hovers around $69,400, up nearly 1.50% on Sunday, its journey beckons keen market watchers for a Bitcoin price prediction. This recent surge, hinting at potential market shifts, sets the stage for an examination of Bitcoin’s trajectory amidst the broader financial landscape.
