Big Bitcoin holders are quietly stepping back — and that’s raising eyebrows.
According to Santiment, wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 $BTC now control the lowest share of Bitcoin supply in 9 months, right as price slid hard. In just the past 8 days, this group dumped over 81,000 BTC, while $BTC fell roughly 27% from ~$90K to the mid-$60Ks.
That’s not random.
Historically, this exact setup — whales selling while retail aggressively buys — has often shown up during early bear-cycle phases. Santiment even called it out directly: this transfer of supply from strong hands to weak hands tends to end badly more often than not.
Sentiment across the market reflects that stress.
• The Crypto Fear & Greed Index just printed 9/100, its lowest since the 2022 collapse.
• CryptoQuant’s CEO noted that nearly everyone has turned bearish.
At the same time, smaller holders are doing the opposite. Wallets holding less than 0.1 $BTC are at a 20-month high, showing retail is stepping in aggressively — very similar to mid-2024, right before another sharp drop.
None of this guarantees immediate downside. But it does suggest caution.
When whales distribute into retail panic buys, price often needs time — and lower levels — to reset before a real recovery can start. For now, this looks less like smart accumulation… and more like risk being passed downstream.
