Data published on March 13, 2026, by CryptoRank and Santiment indicate that wallets holding more than 100 Bitcoin resumed accumulation following a distribution phase that coincided with the previous cycle peak, when the price surpassed $126,000.
At the far right of the historical chart, which spans from 2010 to March 2026, the total amount of BTC held by large holders expanded again while the price moves between $70,000 and $72,000.
A separate analysis by CryptoQuant, published by analyst Gideon Geoffery, reinforces that reading from a different angle. The study classifies Bitcoin spot orders into four categories by size and records, since January 2023, six periods in which large whale orders dominated the market. In all six cases, that dominance preceded considerable price increases.
The shortest period lasted three months before the breakout; the longest, five months. The current phase began in November 2025 and has already surpassed four months, so the historical window for a bullish move in the next quarter remains open.
Both datasets measure the same behavior from different angles and point in the same direction. The Federal Reserve meeting on March 17 and 18 will determine whether macroeconomic conditions align with what Bitcoin’s on-chain structure already shows.
