Summary

Whale activity on Bitfinex indicates that long BTC positions have dropped from a late-December peak of nearly 73,000 BTC. Historical patterns suggest this reflects portfolio rebalancing rather than bearish sentiment. MartyParty has noted similar whale movements before previous bullish cycles. Data from CryptoQuant shows that whale wallets reduced their holdings by 220,000 BTC in 2025. Analyst CryptoZeno stated that BTC is transitioning from whale-driven accumulation to broader market support. Whale movements near $90,000 remain a key indicator for traders.

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to TradingView data, the BTC long positions held by Bitfinex whales began to decline after reaching a peak of nearly 73,000 BTC in late December last year. Historically, this behavior has, in some cases, cleared excessive leverage from the market and preceded a new upward trend. Market observer MartyParty noted that similar whale activities in the past signaled expansionary phases rather than long-term declines.

In addition, on-chain data from CryptoQuant shows that whale wallets held approximately 220,000 fewer BTC during 2025. CryptoQuant analyst CryptoZeno noted that BTC appears to be transitioning from a whale-dominated accumulation phase to a stage supported by a broader range of participants. CryptoQuant previously stated that much of the activity around the $90,000 level by whales reflects portfolio rebalancing rather than direct bearish bets. (Financefeeds)
