Bitcoin is currently hovering around $74,000, but what's interesting is the strange pattern emerging in wallet distribution. According to Santiment data, small investors holding less than 0.1 BTC have reached their highest levels in recent months. Retail investors are buying heavily, in other words. But large players, such as whales and sharks, are moving in the opposite direction. This group holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC is reducing their positions, even net selling since the October peak. This shows how fragile the market is. Small investors are forming a base and triggering short-term momentum, but for a sustained rise, what’s needed is for large wallets to stop selling. When Bitcoin dropped to $60,000 in early February, we saw broad-based accumulation, and Glassnode’s scores also indicated a strong signal. But now, that momentum seems to have reversed. In other words, even if the price tries to push higher, every rebound faces selling pressure from major holders. The small players are doing their part, waiting for whales to join the game. Without this, these fluctuations are likely to continue.
