🐳 #BTC Santiment: Bitcoin's whales have gotten more and more active as prices have dumped over the past six weeks. So far this week, we have seen:

— Over 102.9K Whale Transactions exceeding $100K;
— Over 29K Whale Transactions exceeding $1M;

This week has a good chance of ending up as the most active whale week of 2025, with the context of these whale moves gradually turning from dumping to accumulating again.

🟡 Active Investors Mean: $88.6K
🟢 True Market Mean: $82K
🔵 Realized Price: $56.1K

We are now testing Active Investors Mean. A breakdown below both Active Investors and the True Market Mean would mark the first major confirmation of a deeper bear trend since May 2022.

📊 #BTC #ETF CQ: All major institutional demand drivers are now losing momentum. Bitcoin ETF Holdings are up just 283K BTC YoY, one of the weakest periods since launch, and MSTR plus DATs have also cooled sharply after months of heavy buying.
