$BTC Bitcoin slipped -0.47% to $95,164 after whales dumped 22,918-50,000 BTC ($4B-$4.6B) in recent hours/weeks, with price testing $90,763 support; 97K reclaim possible if whales resume accumulation (+46K BTC recently), but 90K sink risks loom on continued distribution.[1][3][4][2]
Here are the main points
Whales dumped 22,918-50,000 BTC ($4B-$4.6B) in hours/weeks
22,918 BTC sold across Coinbase (2,417), Bybit (3,339), Binance (2,301), Wintermute (4,191); 50,000 BTC ($4.6B) week-long dump by largest holders including Satoshi-era whale ($1.5B).[1][3][4]
Price slips to $90,763-$95,164 after $126K peak
BTC at $95,164 (-0.47%); hit $90,763 Nov 30, 2025 low; down from $126K Oct peak; recent $92,550 amid heavy outflows and dump fears.[1][4]
Whales shifting: Recent 46K BTC accumulation after 161K selloff
1K-10K BTC whales net +46K BTC (first positive since Q4 2025) after 161,294 BTC ($15B) 2025 dump; 21% whale balance recovery early Jan 2026 signals potential bottom.[2]
12-year OG whale methodically sells at $106K avg
Ancient whale sold portions since Dec 2024, averaging $106,164 from $1.66M seed; small sales maintain stability, treat BTC as family wealth not trade.[7]
97K reclaim vs 90K sink: Key levels to watch
Reclaim 97K if whale accumulation continues (historical rally signal); sink to 90K on sustained distribution; smaller holders accumulating while whales redistribute.[1][2]
Market sentiment: Distribution phase, but accumulation emerging
On-chain shows whale/exchange selling persists (Glassnode data), yet mid-tier whales buying; stable demand from institutions could counter pressure.#MarketRebound #BTC100kNext? #USJobsData
