Bitcoin (BTC) noted a minor rebound and is currently trading around $87,000 after weeks of devastating losses. During this period, the number of large BTC holders has been rising while small ones have been declining.<\/p>\n
Such a pattern may support long-term price strength.<\/p>\n
The number of wallets holding at least 100 BTC has increased by 0.47% since November 11, according to the latest data compiled by Santiment. This represents a rise of 91 wallets in a span of less than a month. On the other hand, smaller wallets, particularly those holding 0.1 BTC or less, have declined.\u00a0Santiment observed<\/a> that this pattern of retail capitulation has historically been shown to benefit crypto prices over the long term.<\/p>\n This may come as a sign of relief for many traders, which comes amidst a slight improvement in the market. The latest price recovery, however, does not signal the start of a new bull market. Instead, according to Matrixport, it reinforces<\/a> that the trading environment remains complex and fragile, one where rebounds can be sharp but should be viewed tactically, and not as the beginning of a new trend.<\/p>\n A similar sentiment was echoed by Bitcoin\u2019s Sharpe Ratio, which slipped<\/a> close to zero, a zone historically linked to uncertain conditions and the initial stages of risk repricing. Bitcoin has re-entered an environment similar to 2019, 2020, and 2022, where continued low Sharpe readings led to the development of fresh multi-month trends.<\/p>\n Although the indicator does not confirm a definitive market bottom, it implies that forward returns could improve if volatility cools and market behavior steadies. As such, low-Sharpe periods typically offer better asymmetric setups than high-Sharpe, euphoric phases. This pattern aligns with contrarian approaches that favor times when risk-adjusted performance appears weak.<\/p>\n Another interesting insight came from the Bitcoin Bull-Bear Structure Index and the Futures Flow Index, both of which remain in a bearish regime, but short-term signs point to an attempted reversal. Analyst Axel Adler Jr. found that the Bull-Bear Index has stayed on the bearish side since November 11, and the BEAR line is at -36% and recovering.<\/p>\n In the futures market, the index has risen but remains below 55, the threshold for a bullish shift. The two indices show that the crypto asset has been attempting to exit a bearish phase for over a month.<\/p>\n The post Big Bitcoin (BTC) Whales Surge as Small Holders Vanish Amid Short-Term Recovery Attempts<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin (BTC) noted a minor rebound and is currently trading around $87,000 after weeks of devastating losses.
