Bitcoin Whales Before the Fed: A Quiet Signal That Feels Bullish
Whale Ratio dropped from 0.7 to 0.3 on December 10 — this simply means: large holders are not sending their BTC to exchanges. When whales want to sell, the first indicator is a jump in exchange inflow. This time, there was no spike.
Typically, before a Fed announcement, whales hedge, move coins, or reduce risk. But right now, the market is in complete silence mode — calm, steady, and quietly bullish. BTC rose from $85,000 to $92,000, yet whales did not add sell pressure to the rally. This is a clear signal that their long-term belief is strong.
In late November, there were only a few small inflow spikes between the 22nd and 24th — perhaps minor risk trimming — but those also vanished quickly. Throughout December's data, there was no panic, no distribution, and no large outflows. And when whales sit on the sidelines and wait, historically the market tests higher levels.
The current structure seems to support a move to $100,000. If sentiment remains clean after the Fed, BTC can easily attempt a psychological breakout. Smart money still appears to be in silent accumulation mode.
