According to on-chain analysis platform Santiment, whale wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC have accumulated 40,967 BTC since April 10, worth approximately $3.17 billion, while retail investors bought only 46 BTC during the same period. Santiment stated that if whales continue to accumulate while retail investors begin to take profits, it is "one of the strongest signals for a long-term bull market to form."

However, it is not retail sentiment driving this rally, but the wallet balances of whales. 40,000 BTC swept in two weeks, retail bought only 46 Santiment pointed out in a post that "key stakeholders" holding 10 to 10,000 BTC are rapidly accumulating Bitcoin. Since the 10th, whales have scooped up 40,967 BTC, worth approximately $3.17 billion at the time of writing. 📈 Bitcoin's key stakeholders are accumulating rapidly with $BTC currently up to $78.3K and crypto's top cap up +15% in April. 🧐 According to our on-chain data: 🐳🦈 10-10K BTC Wallets have collectively accumulated 40,967 more $BTC in the past 2 weeks (+0.3%) 🐟🦐 Less Than… pic.twitter.com/ViffTAQg4Q— Santiment (@santimentfeed) April 23, 2026 Comparing this to retail activity is even more interesting: wallets holding less than 0.1 BTC accumulated only about 46 BTC during the same period, worth approximately $3.56 million. The scale difference between the two is nearly 900 times. Santiment stated, "The ideal scenario is for large holders to continue accumulating while retail investors begin to take profits," noting that this combination is "one of the strongest signals for a long-term bull market." Andre Dragosch, Head of Research at Bitwise Europe, also stated on X, "Institutional demand for Bitcoin is clearly accelerating." From "extreme pessimism" to FOMO in four days Another post from Santiment pointed out that Bitcoin holder sentiment flipped from "extreme pessimism" on Monday to "super FOMO mode" on Thursday in just four days. However, overall crypto market sentiment remains cool, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index score at 39, still in the "Fear" zone. The speed of the sentiment flip contrasts with the price distance; BTC is still 3% away from $80,000, but the mindset of holders has already priced it in. Santiment stated that a BTC breakout above $80,000 will be key to reigniting trader interest, but the ideal situation is to "break out when optimism has cooled slightly." The above is not investment advice.
