Long-term Bitcoin holders sell nearly one million coins in 30 days, while whales are aggressively accumulating: Is this a bullish market turnover signal or a risk warning?

Abstract generation in progress

【ChainNews】Recent on-chain data shows an interesting contrast — over the past 30 days, early Bitcoin whales have collectively sold nearly 1 million BTC, the highest record ever. Sounds like a crash? Don’t worry.

During the same period, “shark-level” buyers in the market have been aggressively accumulating, with a net purchase of 269,822 BTC. This number is also astonishing — the largest single-phase accumulation in the past 13 years.

What’s truly interesting is what these two events together imply. History tells us that this kind of “old money exiting, new money entering” scenario is usually not a market top signal; instead, it indicates that we are entering the handover phase of a bull market. In other words, wealth is being redistributed, and the market’s dominant forces are quietly shifting.

What’s next? Volatility is expected to increase significantly, as the competition between new and old funds will inevitably create more price fluctuations. But this kind of volatility is a reflection of market vitality, not a warning sign.

Whales are accumulating, retail investors are cutting losses, this is how a bull run should look like.

Whales are bottom fishing, retail investors are panic selling. The story is cliché but always true.

Are the whales really sweeping aggressively? It seems like someone is manipulating the market.

Just keep trading if you want, anyway retail investors are still destined to be the little guys.

Old whale runs away, new shark takes the stage, this pace is a bit fierce.

Whales are accumulating, retail investors are fleeing. Is this the bull market?

Early big investors are fleeing, sharks are accumulating, I've seen this script before... Just keep turning over, anyway retail investors are just here to give away money.

Early big players run away, sharks step in. I am optimistic about this round of turnover.

This wave is whales eating whales, new giants taking over from old giants, an eternal game of wealth transfer.
