Bitcoin on the Rise: Whales Re-Active as Price Drops Below $90,000

Whale activity in the Bitcoin market is at its highest levels in a year, with the dip below $90,000 attracting large players to accumulate in droves. According to the Santiment platform, this is the busiest week of 2025, with more than 102,000 whale transactions exceeding $100,000 and 29,000 exceeding $1 million.

Seven months after Bitcoin first fell below $90,000, whale activity has increased in line with the price drop. Analysts speculate that this trend may mark the beginning of a new accumulation period, with large holders taking advantage of the dips to buy at a discount.

Experts suggest that the current situation is mainly due to strategic buying by whales, who perceive the dip as an ideal opportunity. Swyftx’s Pav Hundal points out that the increase in whale activity is also supported by positive news about the market recovery after Nvidia’s results and geopolitical events in the US.

“The market is irrational at the moment, but whales are keeping their cool and buying the dip,” says Hundal. Bradley Duke of Bitwise also expressed a similar opinion, emphasizing that large holders are taking advantage of the situation to buy, while most retail investors are afraid.

On the other hand, some experts warn of forced selling patterns that may soon end. Tushar Jain of Multicoin Capital believes that systematic selling at certain hours is temporary and will soon stop.

Forecasts indicate that Bitcoin could reach a bottom this week, while whales reaffirm their role as key market players who are now using dips for long-term accumulation.
