According to Michaël van de Poppe, Blockfills' decision to halt withdrawals might signify a critical moment in the current cycle. Despite this, he highlights that Bitcoin (BTC) is at historically low valuation levels, making it an interesting opportunity for accumulation.

According to Santiment, traders can utilize a chart template to monitor three specific Ethereum (ETH) tiers, helping them identify when high-tier stakeholders resume accumulation. This tool offers valuable insights into market behavior, enabling better decision-making for ETH investors.

According to @TATrader_Alan, Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen below a critical support level after forming double tops. This development is seen as a rare accumulation opportunity for long-term investors, especially within the context of a contracting triangle pattern.

According to Michaël van de Poppe, the 2-week RSI for Bitcoin (BTC) compared to Gold has hit its lowest level ever, falling below 25. He highlights that such levels typically mark the end of bear markets, not their beginning, suggesting a potential bottom for BTC. Van de Poppe emphasizes the significant upside potential, estimating a possible 10x gain from current levels versus a 30-50% downside risk. This, he argues, makes it an opportune moment to accumulate BTC, especially when compared to Gold.

According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL), Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a significant correction due to Trend Research unwinding a $2 billion long position. He suggests this presents a strong opportunity for accumulation. If traders prefer to wait, he identifies 0.02650 BTC or a reclaim of 0.03250 BTC as potential accumulation zones. Van de Poppe also anticipates a more robust rally for Ethereum compared to Bitcoin (BTC).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the on chain entity 7 Siblings bought 6,923.85 ETH in the last hour as ETH dipped below 2,000 dollars, with an average fill of 2,009.8 dollars and total holdings now at 318,508.07 ETH, based on Arkham Intelligence wallet data. According to @ai_9684xtpa using Arkham Intelligence, in a separate window they purchased 1,994.98 ETH at an average 2,070.31 dollars and accumulated 4,813.22 ETH over 19 hours at an average 2,094.31 dollars. According to @ai_9684xtpa citing Arkham Intelligence, these repeated dip buys by a tracked whale highlight continued on chain accumulation during price weakness.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the wallet cluster known as 7 Siblings bought 1,994.98 ETH on chain in the past hour at an average price of $2,070.31 and accumulated 4,813.22 ETH over the past 19 hours totaling about $10.08 million at an average cost of $2,094.31, characterized by the source as another dip-buying move (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to @lookonchain, three wallets dormant for four years, likely controlled by the same entity, bought the dip roughly eight hours ago (source: @lookonchain). They spent USD 13.1M to acquire 5,970 ETH at an average price of 2,195 USD, based on on chain data shared by @lookonchain (source: @lookonchain).

According to @glassnode, XRP’s realized price is $1.48 (source: @glassnode). @glassnode notes the current market structure resembles February 2022, with 1W–1M participants accumulating below the 6M–12M cohort’s cost basis (source: @glassnode). As this structure persists, psychological pressure on prior top buyers builds, a setup traders monitor via realized price and cohort cost bases for risk control (source: @glassnode).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the on-chain entity 7 Siblings bought 12,805.1 ETH at an average of $2,429 in the last 11 hours, totaling about $31.1 million (source: @ai_9684xtpa citing ARKM Intel). The source also reports that since Oct 2024 they accumulated 61,393.82 ETH at an average entry of $3,260, with an estimated unrealized loss near $50.25 million (source: @ai_9684xtpa). Over the past month, publicly tracked addresses linked to the group added 48,346 ETH at $3,481, bringing known on-chain holdings to 187,056 ETH, about $571 million, reportedly ranking fifth among ETH holding entities (source: @ai_9684xtpa referencing ARKM Intel). The source adds their last recorded sale was roughly six months ago, implying a long-horizon swing approach backed by deep capital (source: @ai_9684xtpa). For traders, sustained whale accumulation can signal potential near-term support, but large unrealized losses can create overhead supply on rallies; monitor ARKM-tagged wallet flows, exchange deposit activity, and price reactions around recent DCA zones for confirmation (source: @ai_9684xtpa, ARKM Intel reference).

According to @lookonchain, Michael Saylor’s Strategy holds 712,647 BTC with an average cost of $76,037 per BTC, implying the position would flip to a paper loss if BTC fell about 3.34% from the referenced price, based on their on-chain tracking and Strategy’s press release on strategy.com. @lookonchain also reported that Strategy recently purchased 2,932 BTC at $90,061, underscoring continued accumulation and making $76,037 a clear breakeven reference for traders, according to @lookonchain and the company’s announcement on strategy.com.

According to @santimentfeed, XRP has declined modestly year to date, while wallets holding at least 1M XRP increased by a net 42 on the XRP Ledger, the first rise since September. source: Santiment @santimentfeed characterizes this large holder rebound as an encouraging long term signal for XRP. source: Santiment

According to @santimentfeed, on chain data shows Cardano's smart money wallets accumulated 454.7M ADA over the past two months while the token's price remained suppressed, driven by addresses holding 100K to 100M ADA increasing balances (source: @santimentfeed). @santimentfeed also notes that addresses with 100 ADA or fewer collectively reduced 22.0K ADA over the past three weeks, underscoring a divergence between whale wallets and small holders (source: @santimentfeed).

According to Glassnode, during the November to December bottoming phase, supply accumulation was led by larger entities while smaller cohorts were net distributors (source: Glassnode). According to Glassnode, this divergence was partly driven by exchange-related wallet reshuffling that can resemble organic flows and by large holders buying the dip (source: Glassnode). According to Glassnode, these dynamics highlight that on-chain accumulation signals must account for internal exchange movements versus genuine whale inflows when informing trade timing (source: Glassnode).

According to @EmberCN, Trend Research withdrew 7,960 ETH from Binance and purchased a total of 17,899 ETH, bringing its holdings to approximately 644,600 ETH valued around $2 billion with an average cost of $3,182. According to @EmberCN, these flows indicate ongoing ETH accumulation and exchange outflows by Trend Research.

According to glassnode, Bitcoin's VDD Multiple remains anchored in the low band, reflecting an accumulation regime with limited long-term holder spending and subdued distribution pressure (source: Glassnode, Jan 9, 2026, https://twitter.com/glassnode/status/2009604359819305403; https://glassno.de/3NazR2S). Glassnode states the market continues to absorb prior gains in a structurally constructive manner, consistent with the observed low-band VDD Multiple (source: Glassnode, Jan 9, 2026, https://twitter.com/glassnode/status/2009604359819305403).

According to @52kskew, BTC has seen a strong inflow of buying since the 2026 yearly open and slightly prior, indicating persistent demand, source: @52kskew on X, Jan 5, 2026. The majority of this flow appears executed via TWAPs, reflecting systematic, incremental accumulation rather than single large blocks, source: @52kskew on X, Jan 5, 2026.
