Bitcoin (BTC) is attracting serious attention from big investors, according to a market observation disclosed today by analyst Ali Martinez. The analyst shared data on X, revealing that whales have accumulated a total of 10,000 BTC over the past 72 hours, a clear signal that high-net-worth investors appear to be preparing for a significant upside move.
This trend, noticed over the past three days, points out that smart money is entering the Bitcoin market, an accumulation behavior that could support a bullish BTC prediction in the coming weeks.
Whales Resume Bitcoin Accumulation
As per data reported by Martinez, big token holders are currently increasing their BTC holdings. The data disclosed that wallet addresses holding 10 and 10,000 BTC, commonly recognized as whales, have bought 10,000 BTC over the past three days, an indicator of rising enthusiasm among large holders, despite the price remaining down.
Bitcoin price currently consolidates at $67,105, up 1.2% over the past week but down 7.9% in the last 30 days. The flagship cryptocurrency closed the Q1 2026 down 23%, dropping from a high of $87,500 noted during the first week of January to the current level at $67,105 seen today, April 4.
The monthly price movements show that while Bitcoin short-term price actions appear weak and market sentiment affected by panic, larger Bitcoin holders are displaying a different momentum underneath the surface. On-chain data indicates that wallets holdings 1,000 and 10,000 BTC have resumed aggressive accumulation. This is a dip-buying event as whales deliberately position themselves in the ongoing market turbulence amid the continuing Middle East conflict and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Bitcoin Bottom Is Near Completion: Goldman Sachs
The analyst’s data shows that whale accumulation could be an indicator that a potential breakout could be incoming. Typically, when big wallets are accumulating, market patterns break upwards. Bitcoin’s current sideways movements often appear during accumulation phases as the price remains in correction while large buyers build their positions over time. The recent whale activity spotted by Martinze reflects this type of market structure as large holders increase their positions while the price remains in a narrow range.
Traditionally, this period happens before strong price movements as large holders often accumulate during consolidation phases, indicating confidence in future price movements.
Today, Goldman Sachs analysts pointed out two on-chain indicators suggesting Bitcoin’s woes could be coming to an end. The first signal is the re-entry of institutional investors into the market. After four months of net outflows, capital worth $1.32 billion entered into spot Bitcoin ETFs last month, a green indicator of crypto rebound. The second signal identified by the analysts is a significant shift in Bitcoin trading in March as the number of liquidations started declining during the month.
