The massive whale accumulation signals strong institutional interest and a potential end to the recent downtrend. holding above the 1130-day sma and the $66,500 level, combined with the rebound from $60,001, suggests a bullish reversal or strong consolidation before an upward move. however, supply clusters between $82,000 and $117,000 could act as overhead resistance.
Whale accumulation on this scale typically indicates a long-term investment strategy, aiming for sustained price recovery rather than short-term fluctuations. the focus on long-term smas also points to a longer-term trend reversal.
