Bitcoin Whale Signals Split: 100+ BTC Addresses Hit Record as Long‑Term Holders Start Selling

Low volatility alongside a $99,000 break‑even cluster for newer whales defines the next test.

Overview

  • On-chain data show addresses holding at least 100 BTC at an all‑time high, signaling ongoing accumulation, though one entity can control multiple wallets.
  • CryptoQuant data indicate 1,000–10,000 BTC addresses trimmed roughly 220,000 BTC year over year, the fastest decline since early 2023.
  • Coindoo reports the 30‑day trend for long‑term holder supply has turned negative, contrasting with earlier low VDD readings that signaled inactivity and reinforcing a rotation narrative rather than panic distribution.
  • Bitcoin is consolidating around $90,000 with one‑year realized volatility near 42%, a multi‑year low noted by Fidelity.
  • Realized‑price analysis places newer whale cohorts near breakeven around $99,000, creating a potential resistance zone if rallies approach that level.
