Bitcoin whales are quietly accumulating as BTC consolidates above $100K, with analysts warning of a potential correction toward $94K.
Whale Confidence Grows Amid Sideways Action
Bitcoin (BTC) continues to hover just below its all-time high of $112,000, trading within a tight $5,000 range. Despite this pause, large traders—commonly referred to as whales—are showing confidence. According to Keith Alan, co-founder of Material Indicators, buy volume from the largest transaction classes is surging, suggesting aggressive accumulation at current levels.
“BTC is consolidating above $100k and whales are accumulating,” Alan stated on X (formerly Twitter), accompanying his post with data showing mounting liquidity around the $112K level and increasing bid volume under current prices.
TLDR: BTC is consolidating above $100k and whales are accumulating.

$94K Seen as Key Bounce Level if Correction Hits
While bullish momentum remains intact, Alan warns a pullback could be imminent. He highlights the 21-week moving average—currently near $94,000—as a strong support level if sellers briefly take control.
“We are in a bull market and the trend is up, but there are no straight lines in trading," he noted. “If a correction comes, I expect support to hold at the trend line, which currently has confluence with the 21-week moving average.”
Bitcoin has posted over seven consecutive green weekly candles—a rare feat historically followed by consolidation or corrections. The mid-$90K zone now emerges as a potential area where bulls could reload.
