Market analyst Ali Martinez highlighted potential price manipulation by large market participants following a sharp surge in on-chain activity during the recent market rebound.

As Bitcoin advanced from around $81,200 to a high of $83,407 on Tuesday, exchange inflows jumped from approximately 7,682 to 25,124 coins, according to data from Santiment. Bitcoin was trading at $84,557 at press time, with 24-hour trading volume expanding 6.8% to $27.56 billion.

Martinez observed parallel activity in other major cryptocurrencies, pointing out elevated transaction volumes for XRP and increased whale transfers on Cardano. The analyst stated that such visible on-chain activity indicates large players may be exerting influence over short-term market movements while prices consolidate.
