According to Santiment, wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC accumulated 36,322 BTC between Jan. 10 and Jan. 19, roughly $3.21 billion in that period, while retail addresses holding under 0.01 BTC offloaded about 132 BTC, roughly $11.66 million. Trading data showed Bitcoin was near $89,110 after a 4.55% drop over 24 hours.
Santiment posted, “Bitcoin’s whales & sharks continue to accumulate.” The firm also said, “Optimal conditions for a crypto breakout are when smart money accumulates and retail dumps.” Santiment noted that crypto discussion rates on social media have risen, including comparisons to metals such as gold and silver.
Volatility returned when Donald Trump raised tariff proposals, with reports that he discussed imposing tariffs on several European countries; that commentary coincided with a near 7% slide in prices, as reported. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju added that, in his view, “retail has left Bitcoin markets and whales are buying.”
Market sentiment measures remain cautious: the Crypto Fear & Greed Index registered a score of 32, and the Altcoin Season Index showed a “Bitcoin Score” of 29. Crypto analyst Will Clemente wrote, “Being objective, it’s tough to be excited about Bitcoin here based on price action.” CoinMarketCap also shows Bitcoin is up about 0.93% over the past 30 days.
