Profit-taking by investors provoked a decline in BTC, but despite this, whales and sharks began to actively buy up bitcoins.

Addresses with a balance of more than 10 BTC acquired a record 1002 bitcoins. This is one of the most significant whale swims in the last six months.

Earlier, major players have already demonstrated interest in bitcoin during periods of drawdowns: 164 bitcoins in July, 884 in October and 2060 in November.

Last night, sales intensified on the market, but bitcoin managed to stay above $100,000.
