Bitcoin Whales Are Showing Strong Buying Signs That Might Signal a Big Price Increase for BTC.

The number of cryptographic Bitcoin addresses controlling between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC achieved its highest level since December 2024 by increasing to 1,993.

Whale movements in Bitcoin strongly coincided with Bitcoin trading between $81,000 and $84,000 during the past few days. Bitcoin whale accumulation reached its highest mark in several months suggesting that high-net-worth individuals along with institutional investors feel more confident in the market.

According to market intelligence data from Santiment whale wallet numbers have grown 2.6% since the past five weeks. Major account holders have developed into sentiment barometers which generate market-driven price movements through their actions. Bitcoin has seen extreme volatility in 2025, peaking at an all-time high of $109,225 in January before declining by 20%. The year began with Bitcoin's worst performance since 2019, dropping 25% from its peak.

Today, Bitcoin is $83,770, having appreciated by 1.9% over the last 24 hours, still experiencing limited upward traction. While instability has been in evidence in the recent past, Santiment reports that the whale accumulation currently evident could be indicating that large whales are positioning for a possible rise in price.

Short-Term Holders Experience Signs of Stress

Conversely, short-term holders (STHs) are beginning to demonstrate distress. In line with CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) has been consistently less than 1.0 for more than two months now, reflecting STH capitulation. When the ratio falls below 1, it tends to be an indication that most are dumping their Bitcoin, which might bring about more price drops in the short term.

Bitcoin's Future Outlook

In spite of the volatility, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan recently stated that the current moment in history represents the best time to acquire Bitcoin. Hougan detailed five essential factors fueling support for Bitcoin's price appreciation in 2025, such as the development of a bullish falling flag pattern, President Trump's March tariff pivot, the return of spot Bitcoin ETFs, favorable social sentiment, and even speculation that the White House could sell gold to buy Bitcoin.

As Bitcoin whales up their stakes and sentiment in the market changes, Bitcoin may be ready for a breakout. The coming weeks will be the real test to determine if this accumulation results in a price pump or if the market becomes stuck in a holding pattern.
