😱 According to CryptoQuant analyst Julio Moreno, large #Bitcoin holders are not materially expanding their positions. Much of the activity often interpreted as whale buying is instead linked to exchange behavior, where sizable amounts of $BTC are consolidated into a limited number of wallets, creating the appearance of accumulation.
When exchange addresses are removed from the dataset, a different picture emerges. CryptoQuant’s adjusted figures show a gradual decline in Bitcoin balances held by whales. A similar pattern is visible among wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC, a group that is largely connected to ETF-related custody rather than discretionary accumulation.
⚠️ $BTC — MOMENTUM FADING! 📉
Repeated attempts to push higher are failing, and momentum is stalling at this zone ⚡
Short $BTC
📌 Entry: 90,300 – 90,900
📌 Stop Loss: 92,200
📌 Targets: 89,200 → 88,000 → 86,800
Upside moves are getting sold into, showing buyers are losing control. As long as 92.2K holds, the downside continuation looks likely.

This Whale Doesn’t Flip ETH, It Tucks It In and Walks Away.
Like clockwork… About 12 hours back, wallet 0x46DB scooped up another 5,104 $ETH , roughly $16.1 million, and did exactly what it always does next. Straight to Aave.
Since December 3, this wallet has been slowly stacking 51,374 #ETH , spending around $160 million at an average near $3,110.
Every buy ends the same way, ETH disappears into staking, supply off the table, patience turned into yield. No rush, no flex. Just accumulation, again… and again.

XRP Surges 7.97% on $5.58M ETF Inflows, Ripple Ecosystem Support, and Record Market Cap
XRPUSDT saw a notable price increase of 7.97% over the last 24 hours, with the Binance price reaching 2.0399 from an open of 1.8894. This surge is primarily attributed to significant net inflows of $5.58 million into XRP spot ETFs, continued accumulation activity indicated by declining exchange reserves, and Ripple’s planned release of 1 billion XRP from escrow, of which 700 million was re-escrowed and 300 million designated for ecosystem support, resulting in a restrained market impact. Additional factors include the rapid growth of Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF holdings exceeding $200 million and positive sentiment around Ripple’s new partnership with i-payout. Trading volume remains robust at approximately $3.91 billion, and XRP’s market capitalization is estimated between $113.59 billion and $123.19 billion, ranking it as the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, with a circulating supply near 61 billion tokens.
This year is going to catch a lot of lazy traders off guard.
During times like this, look beyond price.
