What Crypto Whales Are Buying and Selling on New Year’s Day 2026
New Year’s Day usually drags in the markets, but let’s be real whales don’t take holidays. While everyone else is shaking off last night, the big wallets keep moving. They’re not chasing the latest buzz. They’re shifting positions, staying cool, focused. If you’re wondering where the smart money’s going, now’s your chance to peek behind the curtain.
First up: Bitcoin. It’s still king. A handful of massive wallets just snatched up more BTC, even while trading floors feel half-asleep and most people are nowhere near their screens. This isn’t FOMO. It’s deliberate. These buys shout confidence for the long haul.
Ethereum? The vibe’s a little different. Some whales are scooping up ETH on the dip after that recent stumble. Others trimmed their bags a bit, but it’s not a fire sale just some spring cleaning. The true believers aren’t rattled at all. The traders, though? You can see them pulling back, playing it safe before Q1 brings its usual madness.
And altcoins what a mix. Whales are eyeing liquid staking and infrastructure projects, digging into the stuff with real use cases. Memecoins and hype tokens? They’re getting ghosted. Fundamentals finally mean something. The market’s growing up, and you can feel it in the air.
Yeah, there’s selling too but it’s all very calculated. Most of it’s from wallets that went heavy during last year’s rallies. Now they’re cashing out, mostly on smaller coins, locking in gains. No panic, just smooth, tidy exits.
$SHIB gives another good chance to hold near the bottom
After a long downtrend, SHIB is stabilizing near strong support and showing early signs of a bounce. Selling pressure is slowing down, and buyers are quietly stepping in at these low levels. This zone is important for a possible recovery move.
If you want to recover previous losses, this is a patience game, not a rush trade. Holding near support always gives the best risk-to-reward.
Trade setup (Long):
Entry: 0.0000070 – 0.0000075
Target 1: 0.0000090
Target 2: 0.0000110
Target 3: 0.0000135
Target 4: 0.0000150+
Stop-loss: 0.0000063
Trend is still slow, but structure is improving. Hold calmly, manage risk, and let the market do the work.

$RENDER / USDT Breakout Holding, Bullish Momentum Strong 📈
$RENDER has broken above its previous resistance with strong follow-through. Buyers are clearly in control, and the structure remains bullish on the short-term timeframe. As long as price holds above the breakout zone, continuation toward higher levels is favored.
Market Context:
Breakout → acceptance above resistance → momentum continuation
Entry Zone:
→ 1.40 – 1.45
Targets:
TP1 → 1.52
TP2 → 1.65
TP3 → 1.80
Stop Loss:
→ Below 1.32
Why This Setup Looks Strong:
1 → Clean breakout with strong bullish candles
2 → Previous resistance flipped into support
3 → Momentum expanding, sellers weak
4 → Clear upside targets with good R:R
Invalidation:
A sustained break below 1.32 invalidates the bullish structure.
Bias:
Bullish 📈 while price holds above the breakout zone
Trade patiently, avoid chasing extensions, and manage risk strictly.

$RENDER is slowly turning bullish
After a long downtrend, price has bounced strongly from the lows and is now showing early signs of a trend change. Buyers are stepping in step by step, and the structure is improving. It’s still early, so patience matters here.
Volume check:
Green candles are coming with better volume, and selling pressure is fading. This usually means sellers are losing control and buyers are gaining confidence.
My view on $RENDER: Cautiously bullish
Best entry: Buy on small pullbacks near 1.38 – 1.42
Stop-loss: Below 1.20
Targets:
First: 1.60
Next: 1.85 if momentum stays strong then $2.25+ again
Not a coin to chase at highs. Dips look healthy to buy. Stay patient, manage risk, and let the trend develop

$ZEC ALERT: Privacy Coins Just DOMINATED 2025 — And It’s Not an Accident
While most crypto sectors bled, privacy and exchange tokens quietly stole the crown in 2025. The data is brutal and clear: capital rotated hard into assets designed to opt out of surveillance.
Why now? Governments are accelerating CBDCs, blockchain analytics are getting sharper, and financial monitoring is becoming the norm. Investors didn’t debate it — they reacted. Privacy coins like XMR and ZEC became hedges, not trades. Add rapid advances in zk-tech, deeper DeFi integrations, and suddenly these networks aren’t just private — they’re usable.
Then came the catalysts: institutional interest, ETF narratives, Zcash’s halving, and even early treasury-style accumulation. When privacy demand meets shrinking supply, prices don’t stay quiet for long.
Markets always front-run necessity. And privacy just became necessary again.
Is this just the start of a much bigger rotation?

Guys! look here in this setup...$A2Z printed a strong bullish expansion from the 0.00138 low. After the spike, price is reacting near local resistance and showing short term exhaustion. Overall structure stays bullish as long as higher lows are defended.
Key levels
Support
0.00165 to 0.00160 is the first demand zone
Stronger support near 0.00138, which is the recent swing low
Resistance
0.00195 to 0.00200 is immediate resistance
Above that, 0.00240 to 0.00260 is the next upside zone if momentum continues
Scenario
If price holds above 0.00160, consolidation can lead to another leg up. A clean break and hold above 0.00200 with volume would confirm continuation. Losing 0.00160 shifts bias to deeper pullback toward 0.00138.
Trade idea
Buy on pullback near 0.00160 to 0.00165
Targets
TP1 0.00195
TP2 0.00240
Stop loss
Below 0.00138
Risk management
This is a high volatility, low cap move. Use small position size and secure partial profits early. Avoid chasing if price runs without a pullback.

Guys...❤️🔥💯✔️ market is showing controlled bullish strength, so here are clear entry, target and stop levels in one clean flow: $BTC looks stable above support with a buying zone near 87,800–88,200, targets at 89,500 then 91,000 while invalidation stays below 86,900; $ETH is holding structure well with entries around 2,980–3,020, upside toward 3,120 and 3,220, stop below 2,920; #PEPE is in strong momentum mode after expansion, safer entries come on pullbacks near 0.00000480–0.00000495, targets 0.00000560 then 0.00000610, stop below 0.00000450 due to volatility; $SOL remains constructive with buy interest around 124–126, targets 132 and 138, while a break below 121 would weaken the setup. Overall bias stays positive as long as these key supports hold, patience and risk control are more important than chasing green candles.

At the beginning of 2025, the crypto industry entered the year with extreme optimism. Major firms, banks, and individual commentators published bold forecasts calling for Bitcoin to reach $200,000 or higher, Ethereum to climb toward $7,000–$10,000, and the total crypto market to surge into the tens of trillions of dollars. These predictions were largely built on expectations of ETF-driven inflows, supportive U.S. regulation, and improving macro liquidity.
By the end of the year, the price narrative had clearly broken down. Bitcoin did reach a new all-time high near $126,000 in October but failed to sustain momentum and sold off sharply amid tariff-related shocks and broader macro pressure. Ethereum, Solana, and other major assets followed a similar pattern, ending the year far below the aggressive targets that dominated early-2025 commentary. Nearly all headline price calls overshot reality, sometimes by a wide margin.
However, predictions focused on market structure and policy turned out to be far more reliable. The U.S. formally established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, stablecoin legislation was passed through Congress, and crypto ETFs expanded beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to include assets such as Solana and XRP. At the same time, stablecoins moved from trading infrastructure into real-world payments, supported by integrations from major financial and technology companies. DeFi activity rebounded, on-chain consumer products matured, and tokenization continued to grow, even if more slowly than the most optimistic forecasts suggested.
The contrast was striking. While price forecasts consistently failed, analysts who emphasized regulatory shifts, infrastructure development, and changes in user behavior largely got the market right. The core lesson of 2025 is that crypto cycles are better understood through structural evolution than through headline price targets. Those who tracked how the system was changing provided far more useful insight than those predicting how high prices might spike.

Bitcoin snapped higher off support and smashed into resistance near 90.8K — a classic squeeze as late shorts scrambled. Buyers defended each pullback, but sellers are lurking at the prior swing high. Trend structure is still upwards, with momentum cooling but intact. Trade idea: Entry 90,200–90,500, SL: 89,850, TPs: 91,200 / 92,000 (trail if momentum expands). Hold above 90K keeps bulls in control. Stay sharp — volatility is hunting stops. Come and trade on $BTC
