CryptoQuant Points Out Accumulation of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP by Whales

Analysts at CryptoQuant have noted that large holders, or "whales," of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP are accumulating these assets amid price pressure. Julio Moreno, head of research, stated that major holder groups are increasing their reserves while prices trade near or below their realized price. This behavior reduces selling pressure and resembles a final bear market phase. Bitcoin whale balances (excluding exchanges and mining pools) have risen to approximately 3.06 million BTC from a low of around 2.87 million in December 2025. The 30-day increase in whale balances has remained positive for most of 2026, with accumulation accelerating in June when Bitcoin's price approached $60,000. For Ethereum, the trend is mixed. Wallets holding 10,000 to 100,000 ETH have accumulated to a record 19.6 million ETH, while those with 1,000 to 10,000 ETH have reduced holdings from 15.6 million to 12.9 million ETH this year. Wallets with over 100,000 ETH increased their balance from 2.6 million to 4.6 million ETH. Moreno described this as capital concentration during a bear market. XRP whale activity is less direct, with large spot orders present in the $1-$1.2 range, but cumulative volume delta appears neutral, suggesting accumulation through absorbing supply rather than aggressive buying. Key current prices versus realized prices are: Bitcoin at ~$64,640 (realized $52,900), Ethereum at $1,900 (realized $2,450), and XRP at $1.1 (realized $0.75). Moreno noted the risk-reward ratio has declined, and while the model allows for another downside wave, accumulation by strong holders is a positive factor for when demand recovers.

Crypto whales accumulate as bear market nears late stage: CryptoQuant

According to CryptoQuant, large cryptocurrency holders, or "whales," are accumulating Bitcoin and Ethereum as valuations suggest the market is entering the final stage of a bear market. The analytics firm reports that Bitcoin whale holdings, excluding exchanges and mining pools, increased from 2.87 million to 3.06 million BTC between December 2025 and June, with accumulation accelerating after Bitcoin's price fell below $60,000. Similarly, large Ethereum wallets have reached record holdings. The report points to on-chain metrics like realized price—Bitcoin is currently above it, while Ethereum is below—as potential indicators the market is approaching a bottom. The pattern of whales accumulating during price weakness has historically preceded market recoveries, though further downside risk remains. This analysis aligns with other research suggesting possible bottoming signals for Bitcoin.

Bitmine Company Bought 10,399 Ether

Bitmine announced that it has completed 96% of its "Alchemy 5%" plan in 13 months, aiming to accumulate 5% of all circulating Ether. Chairman Tom Lee stated the company has been increasing its ETH holdings weekly since starting the accumulation in late June of the previous year. He noted that in July, Ethereum surpassed the market capitalization of the NASDAQ-100 index by 2,500 basis points (25%), the largest such gain since July 2025, citing it as a sign of strengthening fundamentals. Despite an unrealized loss on its ETH due to the current bear market, with ETH trading around $1,850 and a market cap of $224 billion, Bitmine remains optimistic. The company has staked 4.92 million ETH (worth approximately $9.2 billion) via its MAVAN platform, positioning itself as a leader in staked ETH. Bitmine projects an annual staking revenue of $247 million. Lee believes Ethereum is significantly undervalued and its market cap could potentially reach $5 trillion in the coming years, driven by the growth of decentralized applications.

Bitmine keeps buying Ether as ETH outperforms Bitcoin

Bitmine Immersion Technologies now holds 5.79 million Ether, representing 4.8% of its total supply, after acquiring nearly 10,000 ETH last week. Approximately 85% of its holdings are staked, with projected annualized staking rewards of $299 million. The company's total crypto, cash, and securities holdings amount to $11.8 billion. Ether has outperformed Bitcoin recently, gaining 2.4% over the past week compared to Bitcoin's 0.7% decline. Bitmine's chairman highlighted the rising ETH/BTC ratio as a sign of strengthening momentum. While Bitmine continues to accumulate Ether, building the largest corporate Ether treasury, competitor Strategy has paused Bitcoin purchases, focusing instead on raising capital and increasing its dollar reserves.

Bitcoin Boom in Full Swing: Saylor's Latest Statement Fuels Buying Speculation

MicroStrategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has fueled speculation about a new Bitcoin purchase by posting "Bitcoin Drive engaged" on August 2, accompanied by the company's customary purchase tracker. This aligns with his pattern of hinting at treasury changes ahead of weekly reports. The accompanying report showed MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings at 843,775 BTC, with an average cost of $75,653 per coin and an unrealized loss of -$10.58B. A similar signal preceded the company's July 27 announcement, strengthening expectations for a treasury update on Monday. However, MicroStrategy's real-time ledger reflects two recent Bitcoin sales totaling 3,588 BTC, reducing holdings from 847,363 BTC to the current 843,775 BTC. The company stated these sales funded preferred stock dividends and replenished its U.S. dollar reserve. Recent reports indicate the company made no Bitcoin purchases the week ending July 26 while increasing its dollar reserve to approximately $3.75B. The company faces financial headwinds after reporting an $8.33B operating loss for Q2 2026, including an $8.32B unrealized loss on its digital assets. Management may sell up to $1.25B more in Bitcoin to meet cash obligations. The expected Monday update will reveal if the "Bitcoin Drive" signal marks a return to accumulation as MicroStrategy balances its massive Bitcoin stash against growing cash commitments.

The 'Summer Saw' Continues: A Break Above $67,000 Could Signal the Start of Bitcoin's Rally

Bitcoin continues to consolidate within a $58,000–$67,000 range, with its price dropping to $62,217 on August 1st. Analysts are divided on the next direction. Trader Crypto Candy suggests a potential drop towards $60,000 if the price remains below $66,000. Investor Jelle refers to the prolonged sideways movement as a "summer saw" and maintains a dollar-cost averaging strategy. The key upside scenario hinges on a breakout above $67,000. Daan Crypto Trades states that without this, the movement risks being just an extended pause. Roman projects a sharper rise to $70,000–$80,000+ if a breakout occurs with sufficient volume. Macro-analyst Gert van Lagen views this as an accumulation phase within a multi-year "cup and handle" pattern. He notes that long-term holders are refusing to sell, as indicated by the NUPL metric staying far from capitulation. In summary, the market is in an accumulation phase, with the $60,000 and $67,000 levels being critical. A break above $67,000 could initiate significant growth, while a fall below $60,000 may lead to further decline. The recent pullback shows that legislative catalysts have provided only short-lived momentum, raising questions about the sustainability of any future breakout attempts.

Bad News for Those Expecting a Major Bitcoin (BTC) Crash: A Well-Known Analyst Made a Very Clear Statement on This!

A prominent crypto analyst, known as "Killa," has offered a clear perspective against expectations of a major Bitcoin (BTC) crash. With BTC trading around $64,000, the analyst asserts the cryptocurrency has likely found its bottom and a sharp drop to the $36,000-$48,000 range, feared by many investors, is improbable. Analyzing past bear cycles, Killa notes Bitcoin typically forms three major lows, with the latter two being decisive. Following a recent dip to approximately $59,000, BTC formed a minor bullish divergence, and selling pressure proved insufficient to push prices significantly lower. This indicates market strength rather than weakness, with conditions for a major collapse largely absent. The analyst states Bitcoin has now entered a clear accumulation range, viewing the ~$57,000 level as a key lower boundary. While short-term dips below this level may occur, they would not signal a new bear market. Historical trends show prices tend to recover after major lows, and a prolonged, sharp fall to the $36k-$48k range does not align with the current market structure. Killa concludes that if Bitcoin were to initiate a new downtrend toward $40,000, it would likely have happened already. *This is not investment advice.

"The Final Phase Before the New Cycle". What Will Happen to Bitcoin in August

"Bitcoin Faces Crucial Test in August: Experts Predict Consolidation or Further Decline" The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to remain under pressure in August, with experts anticipating either consolidation within a narrow range or a potential drop below $60,000. Despite a double-digit recovery from its July low near $58,000, BTC ended the month trading around $63,500, still roughly 50% below its October 2025 peak of $126,200. Analysts cite several headwinds: a challenging macroeconomic environment with high US interest rates and persistent inflation, which makes fixed-income assets more attractive than speculative ones like crypto. Furthermore, competition for capital is intense, with many investors favoring AI-related stocks. This is reflected in significant outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, with a record $4.5 billion leaving in June and a net outflow of $5.4 billion for the first half of the year. Historically, August is a weak month for crypto, with a median return of -7.49% from 2013 to 2025. Experts also note regulatory uncertainty in the US, particularly the stalled CLARITY Act, as a dampening factor. Despite the bearish near-term outlook, several experts view the current phase as the "last phase before a new Bitcoin cycle" begins, potentially in Q4 2024. This makes it a favorable time for accumulating Bitcoin for the long term. Key price levels to watch are support at $60,000-$61,000, with a break below $58,000 potentially leading to $53,000-$55,000. A move above $67,000 could target $70,000-$75,000, though this is considered a lower probability scenario.

Calm Before the Surge? Experts Declare Market Caution Amidst Active Whale Accumulation

Analytical platforms Glassnode and Santiment have published reviews on the current state of the cryptocurrency market. Experts note cautious consolidation amidst positive on-chain signals, while institutional and derivatives market activity remains restrained. According to Glassnode, despite a pullback from near $66,700 to $64,000, Bitcoin continues to trade within an established range. The derivatives market shows a more cautious approach, with funding rates for long positions declining significantly, indicating reduced leverage usage. Regulated investment products have seen net outflows, and weekly trading volumes have decreased. Overall, the market is described as being in a calm transitional phase, supported by stable coin holding but constrained by cautious spot and derivatives activity. Meanwhile, Santiment data reveals that large market participants, or "whales," are actively accumulating Bitcoin, adding 19,696 BTC over eight days. In contrast, activity from the smallest retail wallets is decreasing. This shift of coins to stronger hands is viewed as a positive signal. Additional analysis from CryptoQuant's Maartunn indicates that 374,000 BTC have moved from short-term to long-term holders, statistically reducing the likelihood of near-term sales and decreasing Bitcoin's liquid supply on the market.

Five Historical Indicators Light Up Simultaneously, Bitcoin Bear Market Hits Bottom

Multiple historical indicators are converging to suggest that Bitcoin may be approaching or has reached a long-term cycle bottom. Currently trading approximately 50% below its all-time high, Bitcoin's bear market has persisted for over 40 weeks. Several key metrics point towards a potential low: the Nasdaq/Bitcoin and Gold/Bitcoin Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings are at historically extreme oversold (for Bitcoin) levels, which have previously signaled significant long-term outperformance in subsequent 1-3 year periods. Furthermore, Bitcoin's spot price is currently around 18% below its Realized Price (on-chain cost basis of $53k), a condition that has historically marked the final stages of bear markets and preceded substantial future returns. Analysis of past cycles indicates that price lows typically occur around 60 weeks after the previous peak, suggesting a potential low could form by late November 2026. Combined, these signals—though based on a limited historical sample and subject to structural market changes—indicate the period from now through late 2026 could present an attractive long-term accumulation opportunity for Bitcoin, with an asymmetrically positive return profile projected for the 2027-2028 timeframe.
