Bitcoin Whale Accumulation Returns as Price Recovers to $90K
Bitcoin’s largest holders have resumed accumulation for the first time since August, marking an important shift in market behavior.
Glassnode data shows the 10,000+ $BTC cohort has moved into net buying territory with an Accumulation Trend Score of 0.8. Several other groups including retail and mid-sized holders are also increasing their balances.
The buying activity emerged after Bitcoin bottomed near $80,000, an area that aligns with the $82,000 ETF cost basis observed in U.S. markets. BTC has since reclaimed $90K, adding weight to the idea that the market views this zone as a strong support level.
This follows a period of heavy distribution from whales through most of 2025, especially while prices traded above $100K. The trend now appears to be reversing. #AreYouBullishOrBearishToday?
