A seismic shift just rocked Bitcoin’s blockchain—the last 40,000 BTC from an 80,000-coin whale wallet just woke up. That’s $4.75 billion on the move, all consolidated into a single address. Cue the market speculation.


The Whale’s New Playground

No one moves that much digital gold without a plan. Is this a cold storage shuffle, an OTC deal in the works, or just a billionaire flexing immaculate custody? The blockchain won’t tell—but traders are already overinterpreting every satoshi.


Liquidity Tsunami Warning

40K BTC could drown entire order books if dumped. Yet this whale’s holding pattern suggests they’re playing the long game—or waiting for Wall Street to FOMO harder. Either way, it’s a stark reminder: in crypto, the big fish don’t just swim. They move markets.

Funny how ‘decentralized’ money still bows to whoever holds the fattest wallet. Just saying.

Satoshi-Era BTC Consolidates Into Single Address

Darkfost highlighted a major on-chain development that has captured the market’s attention: Each of the four wallets, previously holding 10,000 BTC from the 80K whale, sent their funds to a single destination address bc1qs4nzm0je7wqfyfmqr4ht4upyzy57vc95nf4au0. This address now holds the entire $4.75 billion stash, raising new questions about the intent behind the move.

According to Darkfost, while the pattern differs from previous sell-off precedents, the market must remain alert. “I guess these BTC might also end up hitting the market soon,” he commented. This kind of movement—especially from dormant, high-value wallets—often signals large-scale positioning, which can precede either institutional sales or strategic long-term storage.

The timing coincides with rising bullish momentum across the crypto market. With Bitcoin consolidating above $118,000 following its $123,200 all-time high, traders are eyeing a potential breakout. Adding fuel to this outlook, all three key crypto-related bills were passed by the US House this week, removing significant regulatory uncertainty and clearing a path for broader adoption.

Bitcoin Weekly Chart Signals Fresh Momentum

The weekly chart shows Bitcoin holding strong above $118,000 after surging to an all-time high of $123,200. This breakout follows a prolonged consolidation just below the $110,000 resistance, which acted as a ceiling for several months. Now turned support, the $109,300 and $103,600 zones are critical demand levels, offering a firm foundation for continuation if bulls maintain control.

The structure of the recent weekly candles reflects bullish dominance, characterized by strong bodies and relatively small upper wicks. This suggests controlled profit-taking and growing confidence from buyers. Meanwhile, volume is picking up, confirming participation in the breakout and hinting at the possibility of sustained momentum in the coming weeks.

All major moving averages—50-week ($88,214), 100-week ($69,139), and 200-week ($50,254)—are trending upward and remain well below current price levels, reinforcing a long-term bullish trend. As Bitcoin consolidates above former resistance, this zone may now serve as a launchpad for a MOVE toward the next psychological target at $130,000.
