These Altcoins Are Seeing High Whale Interest After Fed Rate Cut

On-chain data shows three altcoins are observing a high transaction activity from the whales after the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a rate cut.

Whale Transaction Count Has Spiked For These Altcoins Recently

In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed the Whale Transaction Count trend for three altcoins. The “Whale Transaction Count” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the total number of transactions taking place on a given cryptocurrency network that involves a value of more than $100,000. Transfers of this scale are typically associated with whales, the largest entities on the network, so the indicator’s value can provide hints about the current activity from this cohort.

When the value of this metric is high, it means the whales are making a large amount of moves right now. Such a trend implies these humongous holders have an active interest in trading the coin. On the other hand, the indicator having a low value suggests this group may not be paying too much attention to the asset at the moment as they aren’t making that many transfers.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Whale Transaction Count for three altcoins, Immutable X (IMX), Fantom (FTM), and Basic Attention Token (BAT), over the last few weeks:

As displayed in the above graph, large spikes in the Whale Transaction Count have been observed for all of these altcoins over the last couple of days. This would suggest that the whales have suddenly become very active on these networks. The timing of the spikes would mean this activity is likely related to the interest rate cut announced by the Fed. While the high values indicate a surge in trading interest from the whales, the Whale Transaction Count alone can’t tell us what sort of trades these humongous investors are making exactly.

Buying and selling transactions both look the same from the perspective of the indicator, and thus, carry the same weightage in its count. What can provide hints about whether accumulation or distribution is dominant, though, is the surrounding price action.

Bitcoin and the altcoins as a whole, including Immutable X and company, have surged since the Fed announcement, so the increased whale activity could be associated with buying.

Naturally, any further spikes in whale activity aren’t necessary to be bullish, but Santiment notes that if Bitcoin and others continue to grow, then these altcoins can also thrive off a high Whale Transaction Count.

IMX Price

Immutable X has continued the latest bullish push during the last 24 hours with another surge of almost 10%, which has taken its price to $1.58. The below chart shows how the recent performance of IMX has been like.
