After multiple attempts over the past few days, the price of Bitcoin has failed to reclaim and break past the $70,000 mark as volatility continues to dominate market activity. With price action remaining subdued, the behavior of retail BTC holders and whale investors appears to be moving in different directions.
Bitcoin has stayed compressed within the $65,000 to $70,000 range, and investors are beginning to show distinct reactions. A shift in the composition of market participants is emerging, with large holders (whales) and retail investors moving differently as the market consolidates.
According to CW, a crypto market expert and investor, retail holders have been leaving the market, potentially linked to the ongoing sideways price action. At the same time, whale investors are entering, positioning themselves to influence future market moves.
In CW’s analysis of the Bitcoin Whale Exchange Ratio, the metric has surpassed 60%, indicating the market is “comfortably” in the hands of high-net-worth players. The expert noted that this level is the highest in the past 10 years.
CW said this divergence is important for assessing volatility and liquidity, and it can serve as an indicator for Bitcoin’s next major move. He added that retail investors exited quickly after Bitcoin fell to the $60,000 level, which he described as both historically and psychologically significant in the BTC market.
Despite the lack of bullish follow-through in price, CW reported that whale sentiment is strengthening. In a post on X, he said BTC whales are steadily increasing their balances at a “tremendous rate” at current price levels.
When large investors accumulate at that pace, it can signal strong conviction even amid broader uncertainty. In some cases, such buying activity can translate into sustained upward pressure, raising the question of whether Bitcoin could surge again.
The report also characterizes the current accumulation as both extremely fast and unprecedented in Bitcoin’s history. It states that whale investors are pushing the pace to its maximum while retail holders have exited, and that these retail participants have not appeared to be deterred by the current price trend.
Bitcoin price reference: BTC was trading at $66,217 on the 1D chart (BTCUSDT on TradingView).

Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
