Bitcoin (BTC) held the $40,000 level in play at the Wall Street open on Feb. 25 after 16% daily gains boosted bull confidence.
Whales “leading the charge” towards USD 40,000
The data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed the BTC/USD pair hovering around the $39,000 mark at the start of trading on Feb. 25, the geopolitical turmoil failed to induce a further major sell-off.
Stocks also benefited as the week drew to a close, with Germany’s DAX up 3% on the day and the FTSE 100 up 4% in London.
Signs of conflict between Russia and Ukraine provided additional impetus, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky likely to raise talks to end hostilities.
With $34,300 bottoming this week, optimism was creeping up on a rematch with resistance at $40,000.
“The purple whales are leading the charge”, he pointed the monitoring resource Material Indicators on a chart showing a new wave of purchases from small and large investors.
“Historically, this class has had the most direct correlation to Bitcoin price. If BTC bulls can break above $41,500, then $45,000 should come into focus fairly quickly.”
Meanwhile, popular trader and analyst Pentoshi revealed that he planned to wait for $40,000 to hit before reducing exposure to BTC.

However, as he pointed out, on longer time frames, there was still no overall paradigm shift in BTC price action, which continued to remain in a stiff range.
