The Bitcoin whale continued and purchased 200 BTC worth over $2,219 on September 7, and another 200 BTC worth over $2,200 the next day, on September 8. 
On September 9, the whale bought over 159 BTC worth over $1,700.&nbsp;On November 10 of the same year, the Bitcoin trader sold 10 BTC worth around $108. 
After all these moves, the whale stopped its activity until today, October 29, when it sent over 159 BTC worth over $11.3 million out of the wallet.
