Whales Are Accumulating, But Recovery May Take Time

[cryptohog]

On-chain data shows Bitcoin whales are buying the dip, with the 30-day SMA of exchange outflows at 3.2%, mirroring patterns from early 2022. While accumulation by large holders is generally positive, history shows that a broader recovery may not happen immediately.

Cycle-based forecasts suggest BTC could continue under pressure through mid-2026. Experts remain divided: some anticipate a bear market bottom by Q3 2026, while others hint that the crypto winter could be nearing its end.
