Bitcoin whales feast while retail panics

-

You ever get the feeling you’re watching a rerun, but the stakes just keep getting higher? That’s Bitcoin right now.

The exchanges are looking more like a ghost town. No rush to sell in 2025.

Nah, it’s the opposite, people are finally acting like it’s the grand opening of a bull market, lining up to grab what they can before the real fireworks start.

Withdraw

The numbers don’t lie. CryptoQuant’s got the receipts, the 100-day average of Bitcoin net flows on exchanges? Deep in the red.

That’s the most negative it’s been in two years, translation, more Bitcoin’s leaving exchanges than coming in.

When investors pull their chips off the table like this, it means they’re not looking to cash out.

They’re holding, maybe even doubling down. It’s classic reaccumulation, like wise guys stacking chips for the next big hand.

And get this, exchange balances are scraping the bottom. Early April, reserves hit just 2.535 million BTC, down over 7% since the start of the year.

That’s the lowest in years. It’s like everyone decided at once, forget the casino, I’m taking my coins home.

Accumulation

Interesting, but while the little guys, retail traders are sweating bullets and selling in a panic, the whales are circling.

We’re talking wallets with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC, the real heavy hitters. Since March, these big players have been scooping up Bitcoin every time the price dips, like sharks smelling blood in the water.

Miles Deutscher, the analyst with his finger on the pulse, says every drop brings more whale accumulation. It’s almost poetic, retail panic feeds the whales.

And it’s not just a few of them. Glassnode reports whale wallets holding over 1,000 BTC have jumped to 2,107 by mid-April, the highest in four months.

These whales are gobbling up Bitcoin at a rate that’s three times the annual new supply.

That’s quite a power move. When the big money’s this hungry, you gotta wonder what they know that the rest of us don’t.

Cycle

Santiment chimes in too, sharing that wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC now control nearly 68% of all Bitcoin.

Since late March, these key stakeholders have added over 53,600 BTC, even as prices bounced around like a rigged roulette wheel.

If history’s any guide, when the whales fill their plates like now, a rally’s never far behind.
