Bitcoin faces yet another correction after surpassing the $62,000 mark on Oct. 2. However, data shows that whales haven’t taken part in the latest selloff.

Bitcoin (BTC) consolidated around the $60,000 zone between Oct. 1 and 4 as the geopolitical tension between Iran and Israel heated up.

Right after the U.S. jobs report, the flagship cryptocurrency reached a local high of $62,370 on Oct. 5 as the broader crypto market witnessed bullish momentum.

According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, large Bitcoin holders recorded a net inflow of 205 BTC on Oct. 5 as the outflows remained neutral. The on-chain indicator shows that whales didn’t sell Bitcoin as its price surpassed the $62,000 mark.

Data from ITB shows that Bitcoin registered a net outflow of $153 million from centralized exchanges over the past week. Increased exchange outflows suggest accumulation as the bullish expectations for October rise.
