The move follows a sustained reduction in their balances from Oct. 12 to Nov. 30, when these wallets collectively offloaded about 113,070 BTC.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"919\">In a post on X, Santiment said the shift has pushed Bitcoin back into what it calls a \u201cblue zone,\u201d where both large holders and smaller investors add to positions and prices historically move \u201cmore up than down.\u201d The firm\u2019s chart tracks supply held by big wallets against holdings of addresses with less than 0.01 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/what-is-bitcoin-btc-history-and-beginner-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BTC<\/a>, used as a proxy for retail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1237075\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1237075\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1237075 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/G7bASkTXcAAcc0j-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Bitcoin Whale and Retail Supply ZonesSource: Santiment\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1437\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1237075\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin Whale and Retail Supply Zones: Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/santimentfeed\/status\/1996998952580010496\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Santiment<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"1268\">During September and early October, Bitcoin traded in a similar blue zone while whales added coins and smaller addresses bought as well. Santiment\u2019s visual shows that period lining up with a steady price advance. The subsequent red zone, when large holders sold while retail kept accumulating, coincided with choppier action and downside pressure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1495\">Now, the December rebound in whale and shark balances has arrived alongside modest price gains, Santiment noted. The firm argues that continued accumulation by these larger wallets typically supports further upside over time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1495\">However, Santiment also pointed out that smaller addresses have been buying dips through the latest move. In its framework, that pattern keeps the market away from the \u201cgreen zone,\u201d where key stakeholders accumulate while retail sells and where the firm sees the most reliable rallies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"2144\" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node>Santiment said a scenario in which big wallets keep adding while the smallest holders start to reduce exposure would mirror the setup seen before the September and early-October advance. For now, the data show both groups in accumulation mode, with whales and sharks once again increasing their share of Bitcoin\u2019s outstanding supply after a two-month drawdown.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"2144\">Bitcoin Slides in November as Strategy Sets 1.44 Billion Dollar Dividend Reserve<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"2144\" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node>Bitcoin spent most of November falling, a<span>ccording to our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/bitcoin-edge-ahead-of-4-economic-events\/\"><span>recent analysis, <\/span><\/a>staying under the 50 EMA and making lower highs and lows.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"2144\" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node>Then, around November 21, it bounced&nbsp;<span>back from the lows and pushed up toward <strong>$92,000<\/strong><\/span>.
