<p>Following this move, the Bitcoin Price rallied more than 4% and is currently trading around $69,413, showing how sensitive the market is to major whale transactions.</p>

<p>This level of Bitcoin whale activity suggests high conviction. Crypto analysts believe this could be a clear case of Bitcoin whale accumulation. Historically, similar accumulation phases by large holders have appeared near market bottoms.<br><br>However, on-chain data from CryptoQuant shows mixed signals. While Bitcoin trades near $68,813, the Spent Output Value Bands data shows that the 100–1K BTC group makes up 24.39% of spending, and the 1K–10K BTC whales account for 23.98%. This means big players are active.</p>

<p>If whale selling drops below 20%, stronger accumulation could begin. But if it stays above 25%, Bitcoin may remain stuck between $65,000 and $75,000 in the short term.</p>
<p>Eventually, in the last 96 hours Whales have distributed over 20,000 Bitcoin, roughly $1.40 billion.</p>

<p>As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $70,260, reflecting a rise of 5% seen in the last 24 hours. Looking at the 3-day price chart, an early TD Sequential buy signal has appeared. According to the chart analyst, <a href="https://x.com/alicharts/status/2021357510733479939" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ali Charts,</a> the TD Sequential indicator is commonly used to identify trend exhaustion.<br><br>When a “9” count prints after a series of consecutive bearish candles, it suggests that selling pressure may be weakening.<br><br>Based on the historical behavior of this indicator, Bitcoin could see a recovery phase over the next 3 to 9 days.<br><br>If Bitcoin holds above the recent low near $64,000, bulls may attempt to push toward the $72,000 and $75,000 resistance zone.</p>
