With the price of Bitcoin ($BTC) recently breaking a new all-time high (ATH) above $109,000, market participants are largely redefining their positions. In an unusual series of events, crypto data tracker Whale Alert flagged three whale transactions on Robinhood. The transactions feature $BTC withdrawal from the American brokerage, a sign that Bitcoin whales are not worried about buying the coin at the top.

Robinhood Bitcoin whale stacking

Per the Whale Alerts insight, the first observed Bitcoin transaction saw 500 $BTC worth $54,098,752 transferred from Robinhood to an unknown address. Another transaction featuring the same 500 $BTC amount was also initiated. However, these two transactions are different, judging by their dissimilar hash.

The next 500 $BTC transaction worth $54,305,084 also left the trading platform in less than 15 minutes. There are no indications that this is a dormant whale that has come alive, as the wallets have recent records of large transactions. In total, these three transactions were worth $162,502,588.

Despite the high price outlook of Bitcoin, the coin remains a favorite among high-net-worth individuals. While many might insinuate that the coin is currently overbought, these whales believe in the "omega" rally propagated by Samson Mow.

Should these three transactions be acquired, a long-term HODLing move could be initiated.

Expectations moving forward

Some catalysts may impact the price of Bitcoin moving forward. The spot $BTC ETF market remains positive, with the latest data showing an inflow of almost $1 billion on Jan. 17. This ETF market, MicroStrategy buy-ups and other institutional investors have set a high demand base for the coin.

Despite the high prices, Bitcoin's technical strength also proves that a supply squeeze is ahead. Bitcoin mining has not matched up with demand since the last halving, placing $BTC on a path toward a massive rally in the long term.
