In the current consolidation phase of the Bitcoin market, it is important to observe the behavior of various types of investors, especially the large players known as whales.

Who are Bitcoin Whales and Retail Investors

Investors in the cryptocurrency market are categorized by the size of their holdings. On one end are retail investors with small amounts, while on the other are Bitcoin whales, who hold substantial volumes of BTC.

Significant Bitcoin Accumulation by Whales

According to data from Santiment, since March 26, Bitcoin whales holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC have added over 81,338 BTC to their reserves. This indicates strong confidence among these large holders.

Reasons for Retail Investors' Selling

Retail investors holding less than 0.1 BTC have become net sellers, offloading approximately 290 BTC during the same timeframe. Possible reasons include fear, uncertainty, the need for liquidity, or reactions to negative news.

The divergence between Bitcoin whales accumulating assets and retail investors selling suggests that confident large players are using market consolidation to increase their positions, potentially signaling positive price changes for Bitcoin.
