- Large Bitcoin wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC have resumed accumulation as the price holds near $71,000.
- The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in “Extreme Fear” at 16, indicating investor caution.
- US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their first five-day inflow streak of 2026, bringing in approximately $767 million.
Large Bitcoin wallet holders are increasing their holdings again as the cryptocurrency’s price stabilizes around $71,000, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment. This shift marks a positive reversal from just over a week ago, when whales sold a significant portion of their recently acquired coins.
Consequently, these wallets now control 68.17% of Bitcoin’s total supply, up from 68.07% seven days earlier. “Their recent shift to accumulation is a bullish signal,” Santiment stated in a report. The firm suggests a potential local bottom could form if this trend continues while retail investors’ share declines.
Meanwhile, retail optimism persists, which historically suggests more downside could be ahead. “Markets rarely reward the majority consensus immediately,” Santiment added. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index stayed in “Extreme Fear” on Sunday, signaling continued caution.
However, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have logged their first five-day inflow streak of the year. They brought in roughly $767.32 million this week. Bitcoin is currently trading at $71,350, up 6.30% over the past seven days.
