- Whales accumulated 45K BTC, worth billions
- This is the 2nd-largest accumulation in 2025
- Bitcoin remains stuck below $106K resistance
Whales Load Up on Bitcoin Despite Price Stall
Bitcoin whale accumulation just hit its second-largest total of 2025, with major players adding 45,000 BTC to their holdings. This aggressive buying spree suggests that large investors are quietly positioning themselves for the next big move, even as BTC remains locked under a tough $106,000 resistance level.
On-chain data shows that these whales—wallets holding significant BTC—are taking advantage of the current price range to build positions, likely anticipating a breakout in the near future.
Market in Holding Pattern, But Accumulation Signals Strength
Despite strong buying activity, Bitcoin’s price has yet to break above the key $106K level. This has led some traders to call the current market environment a “calm before the storm.” The volume of whale accumulation typically precedes major price action, either upward or downward—but given the scale and frequency of recent inflows, a bullish breakout is increasingly likely.
Interestingly, these large wallet inflows come even as broader ETF flows have been mixed and retail enthusiasm remains muted. This could reflect a smart money strategy, with institutions or long-term investors preparing for a strong Q4/Q1 2026 performance.
Could $106K Be the Final Barrier Before New Highs?
The $106K level has acted as strong resistance in recent weeks, capping Bitcoin’s attempts to reclaim momentum. However, with whales buying heavily at current levels, analysts believe that a clean break above $106K could open the door to new all-time highs.
Until then, investors may continue to see sideways movement—but on-chain activity is flashing signals that the next leg up may be closer than it seems.
