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, 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 @cryptorover, the current crypto market cycle has been driven by large investors since the elections (source: @cryptorover, Nov 9, 2025). For trading, this points to leadership and liquidity concentrating in higher-cap, high-liquidity assets, making order-flow and whale activity tracking more critical than retail sentiment (analysis based on @cryptorover; source: @cryptorover, Nov 9, 2025). Traders aiming to align with this flow can prioritize monitoring block trades, large on-chain transfers, and derivatives open interest to gauge trend strength and risk, while exercising caution with thin-liquidity small caps (analysis based on @cryptorover; source: @cryptorover, Nov 9, 2025).
