BlockBeats News, December 16 — According to Cointelegraph, as Bitcoin retraces approximately 30% from its high of $126,200 and hovers near the critical support level of $85,000, on-chain data shows that medium-sized holders and some institutional funds are accelerating accumulation. Glassnode data indicates that “shark addresses” holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC have accumulated approximately 54,000 BTC over the past week, bringing their total holdings from about 3,521,000 to 3,575,000 BTC, with the fastest accumulation rate since 2012, suggesting significant bottom-fishing activity despite the sharp correction. However, the market’s upward potential remains constrained by selling pressure from larger holders. Data shows that long-term and “OG” whales holding over 10,000 BTC have been reducing their holdings over the past two months. Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, pointed out that record-breaking institutional buying is being absorbed at an unprecedented pace by long-term holders, which may continue to suppress Bitcoin’s short-term price performance. Additionally, veteran trader Peter Brandt warned that Bitcoin has broken below a key parabolic support, and if historical patterns repeat, there is a risk of deeper corrections.

Robert Kiyosaki, in a recent post, said that Bitcoin and Ethereum could become the safest investments of 2026, because the United States continues to print money, debt is rising, and inflation is worsening. He criticized the safety of U.S. Treasuries as “the biggest lie,” and noted that real assets and cryptocurrencies can preserve wealth during inflation. His investment recommendations include holding Bitcoin, gold, silver, and commodities. Although some of his predictions weren’t accurate, some of his long-term predictions have come true.

BTC 15-minute surge of 0.84%: Upward momentum driven by insufficient liquidity and the resonance between futures premium arbitrage
2026-04-05 15:15 to 15:30 (UTC), the BTC price fluctuated within the 66,938.9 to 67,529.9 USDT range, with a 15-minute return of +0.84% and a volatility (amplitude) of 0.88%. During the same period, market trading activity increased: the number of active on-chain addresses over 10 minutes reached 420,690, short-term buying sentiment improved, and attention to the market was boosted.
The main drivers behind this move are persistent liquidity tightness in the spot and derivatives markets. Current trading volume is significantly lower than the range since the end of 2023, and the threshold for buy-side pressure to push prices higher has dropped markedly.
