Santiment: large players accumulated more than 40,000 BTC in two weeks
- Large players increased their holdings by more than 40,000 $BTC over two weeks, Santiment noted.
- Retail investors also increased their positions, but in significantly smaller volumes.
- Market sentiment shifted from FUD to FOMO within a few days.
- The level around $80,000 remains a key resistance for Bitcoin, experts emphasized.
Key participants in the Bitcoin market are actively increasing their positions amid the growth of the crypto market, according to Santiment analysts.
📈 Bitcoin's key stakeholders are accumulating rapidly with $BTC currently up to $78.3K and crypto's top cap up +15% in April.

According to their data, wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 $BTC added more than 40,000 $BTC over the past two weeks, representing about 0.3% of their total reserves. Meanwhile, addresses holding less than 0.01 $BTC accumulated only about 46 $BTC.
Analysts noted that the ideal scenario for continued growth is further accumulation by large players alongside profit-taking by retail investors. Such a market structure has historically acted as a signal of a long-term bullish trend.
How has market sentiment changed?
Separately, Santiment highlighted a sharp shift in sentiment among market participants. Within a few days, it moved from extreme pessimism to active FOMO (fear of missing out).
Experts noted that at the beginning of the week, Bitcoin showed weakness after rising to nearly $80,000, accompanied by the spread of FUD. However, the price then quickly recovered and approached this level again.
Amid the recovery in prices, analysts recorded a sharp increase in optimism. At the same time, they emphasized that excessive FOMO can serve as a signal for caution.
Santiment allowed for further growth in Bitcoin’s price — breaking the $80,000 level could attract new participants and bring some traders back to the market.
At the same time, analysts noted that a more stable scenario for continuing the rally would be a moderate decrease in the level of optimism among investors.
At the time of writing, the leading cryptocurrency is trading near the $78,300 mark.
