Bitcoin set for big move as whales add 56,227 BTC while tiny wallets sell – this pattern usually ends one way

Bitcoin has surged past $94,000 in early 2026, reversing late 2025 stagnation, driven by a favorable macroeconomic environment featuring a steepening US yield curve and a structurally weaker dollar, which benefits assets like BTC. Institutional demand is returning, evidenced by over $1 billion in ETF inflows in the first two days of the year, alongside renewed net buying from Bitcoin treasury companies like Strategy Inc. and Strive. Market structure suggests a healthy rally, as derivatives markets show significant deleveraging, resulting in neutral funding rates, indicating a spot-driven regime. Crucially, blockchain data shows whales accumulating 56,227 BTC since mid-December while small retail wallets are selling, a pattern historically signaling a strong bullish continuation, positioning the market for a potential move toward the $100,000 mark.
