Bitcoin is witnessing robust trading activity, particularly on Binance, which has processed over $6 billion in trading volume within the past 24 hours. Pionex Exchange follows closely with $4 billion.

While some investors have seized the opportunity to sell, others view this as a prime buying opportunity. According to a whale tracker on X (formerly Twitter), several substantial Bitcoin whales have been accumulating BTC during recent price dips. Collectively, five whales have acquired 952 BTC, valued at approximately $83.7 million.

Tether's recent minting of an additional $1 billion USDT has also contributed to Bitcoin's price increase. Lockonchain data reveals that Tether has minted a total of $5 billion USDT in the past five days, providing significant liquidity to the cryptocurrency market.

Other top cryptocurrencies have mirrored Bitcoin's rally. Dogecoin (DOGE) has surged 14% to $0.4218, while Ethereum (ETH) has gained 1.58%. Notably, Solana (SOL) and SUI (SUI) have experienced increases of 2.92% and 12%, respectively. The broader crypto market has also seen an upward trend.
