Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is trading around $95,500, down 3.4% over the past 24 hours, as on-chain data and whale activity suggest predictions of an imminent bear market lack evidence substantial.
What happened
On December 26, Ki Young Jufounder of CryptoQuant, noted in a post on x that the accumulation of whales, once a news that moved the markets, has now become a routine phenomenon.
This indicates a market dominated by institutional investors, while retail investors remain hesitant.
A weekly capital flow of $7 billion confirms that Bitcoin is in a bull cycle, not a bubble.
A true bubble, marked by a market price that far exceeds capital flows, would trigger warnings of a cyclical top, which analysts have not yet issued.
Brief corrections of up to 30% are possible, but are unlikely to derail the ongoing bull cycle. The peak of the cycle is still far away, and predictions of a bear market are not supported by on-chain data.
In another post on the same day, he revealed that whales are increasingly using privacy transactions to carry out accumulation.
Of the 1.55 million BTC accumulated in 2024 through ETFs, MicroStrategy and custodial wallets, 240,000-420,000 BTC have not been justified, indicating that there are large unidentified buyers.

Cryptocurrency trader Jelle sees Bitcoin’s recent volatility as insignificant in the bigger picture.
The trend remains bullish, with declines acting as small potholes. He advised his followers to “stay focused.”
When you look at the grand scheme of things, it’s almost as if the volatility from the past weeks doesn’t matter.#Bitcoin keep pushing higher, dips are just speed bumps along the route.
