Bitcoin Investor Behavior Diverges: Whales Buying, Retail Selling

Recent on-chain data from Santiment reveals a divergence in Bitcoin investor behavior. While retail investors (holding less than 0.01 BTC) have been selling, sharks and whales (holding 10 to 10,000 BTC) have been accumulating since December 17th, adding 56,227 BTC ($5.2 billion). This whale accumulation marked a local market bottom. Initially, both groups bought during consolidation, but after Bitcoin's recent price breakout, retail began selling, possibly viewing the rally as a bull trap. Santiment considers this setup "very bullish," as whale buying combined with retail selling historically suggests a higher probability of continued market growth. Bitcoin is currently trading around $92,600, up over 5% in the past week.

Bitmine’s $14B Ethereum empire – Is one company quietly taking over ETH?

Bitmine is building a massive Ethereum treasury, holding 4.14 million ETH worth $14.2 billion, which represents 3.43% of all ETH. This makes it one of the most influential holders of Ethereum. Chairman Tom Lee announced the company continues to aggressively accumulate ETH, recently purchasing nearly 33,000 ETH in a single week. Bitmine is also seeking shareholder approval to increase authorized shares to launch its Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN), a staking solution set to deploy in early 2026. With only a portion of its ETH currently staked, the company is positioning itself as the world's premier Ethereum treasury, similar to how MicroStrategy operates with Bitcoin.

Decoding IOTA’s 35% weekly rally and the RISKS still ahead

IOTA has experienced a significant 35% surge in the past week, supported by increased development activity and expanding partnerships, particularly in African trade and digital infrastructure. This has strengthened investor confidence, reflected in both price action and bullish community sentiment, with 96% of votes leaning positive. Technically, IOTA broke above a key descending resistance channel, with the next major resistance near $0.19. Indicators like the MACD turning positive and strong accumulation levels suggest growing momentum. However, while derivatives markets show strong bullish positioning, spot markets have seen modest selling. Sustained buying near key resistance will be crucial for the rally to continue.

Why Bitcoin’s Current Market Behavior Doesn’t Resemble An Accumulation Phase Right Now

Despite Bitcoin's recent price recovery toward $100,000, on-chain data suggests the market is not in an accumulation phase. According to analyst Joao Wedson, current activity resembles redistribution rather than accumulation, with large investors likely to sell heavily if BTC reaches the $95,000–$96,700 range. Additionally, realized losses of $511 million continue to dominate over profits of $312 million, indicating ongoing investor capitulation. This selling pressure, however, may help cleanse the market and potentially mark the end of a corrective phase.

Chainlink: Assessing impact of $10.9M whale move on LINK price

Chainlink (LINK) is exhibiting strong bullish signals driven by significant whale accumulation. Two major holders withdrew a combined 789,810 LINK (worth ~$10.9M) from exchanges like Coinbase and Binance in a gradual, strategic manner, reducing immediate tradable supply. This persistent spot outflow indicates long-term positioning rather than intent to sell. Technically, LINK has broken out of a descending channel and is trading around $13.7, defending higher lows. Key resistance lies at $14.7, with a potential path toward $20. Derivatives data shows top traders are heavily long (72.16%), and liquidity clusters favor upward movement, suggesting the market is positioned for a potential continuation if buyers maintain pressure.

BlackRock is back to accumulating, snaps up nearly $500 mln in Bitcoin, Ethereum

Institutional capital is returning, with BlackRock leading a significant accumulation of nearly $500 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum in early 2026. On-chain data shows purchases of 3,948 BTC ($371.89M) and 31,737 ETH ($100.23M), signaling strong institutional confidence in a market rebound. This coincided with a massive single-day Bitcoin ETF inflow of $697.2 million, where BlackRock's IBIT alone accounted for over half. The market responded positively, with Bitcoin rising to $93,700.64 and Ethereum to $3,234.78. Meanwhile, corporate holders like MicroStrategy continued accumulating, and Grayscale introduced the first U.S. staking rewards payout for its Ethereum ETF, transforming ETH into a yield-generating asset. These movements indicate that strong hands are accumulating, setting a bullish tone for 2026.

Lighter surges 15% – Can $6.25M whale buy help LIT reach $4?

Lighter (LIT) surged 15% to $3.0, recovering from a recent 30% drop, with trading volume up 79% to $35 million. Two whales invested $6.25 million to purchase 2 million LIT tokens, signaling strong accumulation. However, retail sellers are cashing out, creating selling pressure. Technical indicators like RSI at 90 show overbought conditions but suggest upward momentum. If whale support continues, LIT could target $4; otherwise, it may fall back to $2.5.

Solana: Smart money turns bullish – Now SOL’s price must prove it

Solana's market sentiment has turned bullish, with both retail and smart money showing positive conviction. This shift is supported by significant U.S. spot ETF inflows, totaling near $775 million, and a rebound in price from the $120–$135 demand zone. Technical indicators like the Parabolic SAR suggest short-term momentum improvement, though resistance near $145 and $170 remains key. Exchange net outflows indicate accumulation, while derivatives data shows longs dominating at 72.6% of positions. Liquidation patterns reflect weakening downside pressure. However, price must break key resistance levels to confirm a durable uptrend, as sentiment and flows alone are insufficient without structural confirmation.

Bitcoin Warning Signal Emerges: Whale Deposits Rise And Accumulation Slows

Bitcoin has rebounded above $92,000, offering short-term relief after a period of choppy trading. However, it remains below key structural levels needed to confirm a sustained uptrend. A CryptoQuant report highlights a concerning divergence in Binance exchange flows: average deposit sizes have increased sharply, indicating whales may be moving BTC onto exchanges for potential selling. Meanwhile, average withdrawal sizes remain subdued, suggesting weak accumulation and limited movement into long-term storage. This imbalance implies growing selling capacity without corresponding strong demand, increasing vulnerability to price declines if demand doesn't strengthen. While short-term momentum has improved, the on-chain data signals rising supply risks that may hinder a durable rally.

XRP Price Surges as Volume Soars and Whale Accumulation Strengthens Bullish Outlook

XRP's price surged from $2 to an intraday high of $2.16, settling around $2.12, while its daily trading volume spiked 45.18% to $3.49 billion. A significant whale withdrawal of 4.8 million XRP from Upbit signaled strong accumulation and reduced sell pressure. Technical analysis shows bullish momentum with a breakout above the $2.10-$2.12 resistance zone. The RSI near 75 indicates strong buying pressure but suggests potential short-term overbought conditions, while the MACD supports a continuing bullish trend. Key resistance levels are at $2.20 and $2.30, with support at $2.10 and $2.00.
