Market-Wide Bitcoin Accumulation: Insights from On-Chain Data
In recent analyses by the renowned on-chain analytics company, Glassnode, a noteworthy trend has been observed in Bitcoin accumulation patterns. The focus has been on the Accumulation Trend Score, a key indicator that highlights whether investors are in a phase of accumulation or distribution. This score evaluates balance shifts in Bitcoin wallets alongside their sizes, granting larger entities a more substantial influence on the overall score.

Deciphering the Accumulation Trend Score
The Accumulation Trend Score ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating a perfect distribution phase and 1 signifying complete accumulation. A score around 0.5 represents a neutral state between these activities. Over the past year, this score has provided valuable insights into investor behavior across various Bitcoin network sectors.
Recent Shifts in Investor Behavior
The latest data reveals a significant shift in investor sentiment, as all major cohorts are now demonstrating a clear inclination towards accumulation. Among these groups, shrimps, whales, and mega whales exhibit particularly aggressive buying behavior. Initially, shrimps—those holding less than 1 BTC—were in a phase of light distribution but have since turned to active accumulation. Whales, owning between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC, have maintained a robust buying stance even during uncertain times. The largest holders, or mega whales, with over 10,000 BTC, have reversed their distribution trends, showing buying levels not seen since December 2024.
The Role of Miners in Recent Market Movements
While the general market trend leans towards accumulation, not all activities align with this pattern. Data from CryptoQuant indicates that Bitcoin miners have been engaging in distribution. This is evident from significant withdrawals from their wallets, with a substantial portion of the 16,000 BTC outflow directed to centralized exchanges, suggesting profit-taking amidst the rally.
Bitcoin Price Trends and Market Stability
In the past week, Bitcoin’s price has shown stability, hovering around the $118,000 mark. This sideways movement indicates a period of consolidation following recent market activity.
