3 Privacy Coins Crypto Whales are Buying and Selling Ahead of February 2026
Crypto whales are selectively accumulating Zcash (ZEC) and COTI while showing mixed behavior for Dusk (DUSK) ahead of February 2026.Summary
Privacy coins experienced a strong 2025 but faced corrections in early 2026, leading crypto whales to adopt selective buying and selling strategies. Zcash (ZEC) is seeing aggressive accumulation from whales, increasing holdings by over 45% in 24 hours, as the price challenges a bearish flag pattern, supported by hidden bullish divergence on the RSI. The key level for ZEC is $449 to confirm a breakout.
Dusk (DUSK) shows conflicting whale activity: smaller whales are trimming exposure during its 38% correction, while top-100 addresses increased holdings by nearly 14%. DUSK is forming a potential inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, requiring a close above the $0.190 resistance zone to confirm upside.
COTI is also in a correction phase, but whale holdings have recently shifted from distribution to modest accumulation since January 22. This aligns with a bullish divergence on the RSI, suggesting selling pressure is fading, though a confirmed trend reversal requires a break above $0.019.
