Revealed! Bitcoin Accumulation Strategies by Large Entities

Jakarta, Pintu News – Datafrom on-chain analytics firm Glassnode shows that large entities were instrumental in Bitcoin’s (BTC) accumulation phase during the November to December period.

This analysis uses the Accumulation Trend Score, an indicator that measures whether a Bitcoin address is in an accumulation or distribution phase. This score is affected by changes in the balance in an investor’s wallet and the size of that wallet, giving more weight to larger entities.

The Role of “Mega Whales” in the Market

During the bottoming period that occurred after the price crash in November, the Accumulated Trend Score for investors with more than 10,000 BTC approached a value of 1.0. Investors in this category are often referred to as “mega whales” and are the largest entities on the network.

They played a key role in stabilizing the price with massive accumulation during the period. Meanwhile, “whales” with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC started accumulating Bitcoin a little later, with their Accumulation Trend Score turning blue in December.

Small Investor Behavior is Different from Whales

Unlike the mega whales and whales, the group of investors who own less than 1,000 BTC shows a different behavior. Over the past few weeks, all cohorts below 1,000 BTC showed varying degrees of distribution.

The group holding 1 to 10 BTC in particular showed almost perfect selling behavior. This suggests a difference in strategy between large and small investors, where small investors tend to sell their assets amid market uncertainty.

Current Bitcoin Price Dynamics

Since the beginning of the week, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been on the decline, with the current trading value hovering around $88,900. This decline has coincided with a phase of distribution by small investors, while large entities continue to accumulate.

This dynamic is interesting to observe as it shows how different behaviors among investor segments can affect the overall market dynamics. Going forward, it will be interesting to see if the distribution by small entities will continue and how it will affect the price of Bitcoin.

Long-term Implications of Accumulation by Large Entities

The accumulation phase by large entities shows confidence in the long-term value of Bitcoin (BTC), despite significant market volatility. This behavior also highlights the importance of on-chain analysis in understanding market dynamics. Going forward, constant observation of these trends will be important to understand the future direction of Bitcoin.
