It is not immediately clear what is causing the whales to accumulate ETH and dump the resurgent Bitcoin. However, what is known is that Ethereum has been outperforming Bitcoin in price and various other metrics since mid-January.

Despite crypto whales opting for ETH, the broader cryptocurrency community remains bullish on Bitcoin. On the daily chart, BTC has reached around 2024 highs, its highest in over two years. Experts and analysts predict further gains in the future. If BTC holds above the psychological support of $50,000, the odds of the world’s most valuable coin rising above $70,000 remain high.

Billions of dollars are flowing into Bitcoin.

Wall Street and retail investors are pouring billions of dollars into BTC after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). At the same time, the general investor and trader sentiment is that Bitcoin will rise significantly considering the expected supply shock once the network halves miner rewards in early April. Then, if current demand holds, the resulting imbalance could push BTC up to six figures.
