There’s some massive buying of Bitcoin (BTC) by the big players in the market. Digital asset manager Grayscale has purchased over 16,000 BTC just over the last week. Interestingly, the total BTC produced by the miners was 6300, meaning Grayscale bought over twice the BTC produced. It’s about time that the retail FOMO triggers pushing Bitcoin price above its current all-time high of $20,000.

Miners created 6,300.
Grayscale bought 2.5X more $btc than was produced!

Moreover, in 2020 alone, there’s a 9% jump in accumulation addresses while the BTC locked in these accumulation addresses has jumped by 20% to over 2.8 million BTC.Data shows that a large number of investors accumulated Bitcoin during the market crash of March 2020 when BTC dropped below $5K. Similarly, the second-biggest purchase happened during September 2020. The price drop during both these times was only for a very short time as Bitcoin (BTC) quickly recovered post that.Bitcoin and Overall Crypto Market Rally: Analysts ViewsThe overall cryptocurrency market looks flooded with buy order with all the top-ten cryptocurrencies gaining between 4-11%.

Fairlead Strategies founder Katie Stockton told Business Insider:
“The breakout puts [the] next and final resistance at the high from 2017 above $19,500. There are some signs of short-term upside exhaustion from an overbought/oversold perspective, supporting a few weeks of consolidation, but we would see this as healthy from a technical perspective”.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that the economic activity will take longer than expected to recover. The fiscal and monetary stimulus and continuous pumping of money have raised concerns about inflation. Many crypto experts say this is a clear sign of buying Bitcoin.
