It can be speculated that this Bitcoin whale plans to either sell Bitcoin or exchange it for other cryptocurrencies.

As of February, the amount of Bitcoin on exchanges reached 2.361 million Bitcoin as of February 9. Popular on-chan analyst Willy Woo argues that while demand for BTC continues with recent gains, Bitcoin’s current fair market value is $50,000. Woo shows that the “Supply Shock Valuation” metric fell in January but remained above spot price fluctuations despite previous victories:
