During this period, the number of large BTC holders has been rising while small ones have been declining.<\/p>\n<p>Such a pattern may support long-term price strength.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"retail-capitulates-whales-accumulate\">Retail Capitulates, Whales Accumulate<\/h2>\n<p>The number of wallets holding at least 100 BTC has increased by 0.47% since November 11, according to the latest data compiled by Santiment. This represents a rise of 91 wallets in a span of less than a month. On the other hand, smaller wallets, particularly those holding 0.1 BTC or less, have declined.\u00a0Santiment <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/santimentfeed\/status\/1993195680626880538\" target=\"_blank\">observed<\/a> that this pattern of retail capitulation has historically been shown to benefit crypto prices over the long term.<\/p>\n<p>This may come as a sign of relief for many traders, which comes amidst a slight improvement in the market. The latest price recovery, however, does not signal the start of a new bull market. Instead, according to Matrixport, it <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Matrixport_EN\/status\/1993166307534291227\" target=\"_blank\">reinforces<\/a> that the trading environment remains complex and fragile, one where rebounds can be sharp but should be viewed tactically, and not as the beginning of a new trend.<\/p>\n<p>A similar sentiment was echoed by Bitcoin\u2019s Sharpe Ratio, which <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-flashes-rare-risk-reward-signal-seen-only-3-times-since-2019\/\">slipped<\/a> close to zero, a zone historically linked to uncertain conditions and the initial stages of risk repricing. Bitcoin has re-entered an environment similar to 2019, 2020, and 2022, where continued low Sharpe readings led to the development of fresh multi-month trends.<\/p>\n<p>Although the indicator does not confirm a definitive market bottom, it implies that forward returns could improve if volatility cools and market behavior steadies. As such, low-Sharpe periods typically offer better asymmetric setups than high-Sharpe, euphoric phases. This pattern aligns with contrarian approaches that favor times when risk-adjusted performance appears weak.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"breakout-attempts\">Breakout Attempts<\/h2>\n<p>Another interesting insight came from the Bitcoin Bull-Bear Structure Index and the Futures Flow Index, both of which remain in a bearish regime, but short-term signs point to an attempted reversal. Analyst Axel Adler Jr. found that the Bull-Bear Index has stayed on the bearish side since November 11, and the BEAR line is at -36% and recovering.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>In the futures market, the index has risen but remains below 55, the threshold for a bullish shift. The two indices show that the crypto asset has been attempting to exit a bearish phase for over a month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>SECRET PARTNERSHIP BONUS for CryptoPotato readers: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/goto\/bingxpromo\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Use this link<\/a> to register and unlock $1,500 in exclusive BingX Exchange rewards (limited time offer).<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/big-bitcoin-btc-whales-surge-as-small-holders-vanish-amid-short-term-recovery-attempts\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Large BTC wallets surged by 91 as the smallest holders declined.
