 has been volatile in the past few days but the long-term investors seem to be using the current weakness to buy. 

According to Whale Alert and CryptoQuant, about 30,000 BTC left Coinbase and was deposited in an unknown wallet. It is speculated to be a genuine purchase and not an in-house transaction.

Although investors may be bullish for the long term, the short-term picture remains questionable.
