The introduction of the WHALES spot trading mechanism has significantly enhanced market liquidity and depth, greatly reduced the cost of large investors building positions, and optimized the price discovery process. Coupled with the continued inflow of institutional funds and increased holdings by large investors, the overall market risk appetite is turning positive, providing a foundation for WHALES to attract allocation funds in line with the trend. However, it is necessary to remain alert to volatility risks caused by short-term profit-taking and weakening sentiment, with close attention to the effectiveness of support in the 0.96-1.02 range and changes in trading volume. Strategy suggestion: Focus on opportunities for improvement in capital structure in the mid-to-long term, control position size in the short term, and set strict stop-loss orders below key support levels.

WHALES previously surged over 370% in its early performance on the Bybit Alpha platform, and its official transition to spot trading fully demonstrates the exchange’s recognition of the project's quality. The introduction of spot trading brings a more mature matching mechanism, providing WHALES with deeper order book depth and sustained liquidity support. In the short term, it can lower the building cost for large holders and curb severe price volatility, while also offering a lower entry barrier for smaller investors, thus boosting overall market activity.

$WHITEWHALE, initially launched on Bybit Alpha with a peak increase of 373%, has officially become the first spot trading asset on Bybit in 2026. This upgrade reflects Bybit Alpha's role in identifying quality projects and provides $WHITEWHALE with enhanced liquidity and trading depth as it transitions to spot trading.

Recent frequent positioning by institutions and large holders in the Bitcoin market reflects sustained optimism for the digital asset sector. On one hand, the scale of large single Bitcoin deposits has increased over 30X compared to three years ago, indicating continuous liquidity inflow from institutions into exchanges. On the other hand, large buyers have actively built long contracts in the options market and have already achieved notable unrealized profits, while whale holdings and cumulative volumes have been steadily rising since mid-year. These combined trends demonstrate that overall market risk appetite is growing more constructive, and as a bellwether of its niche sector, WHALES is poised to benefit by attracting more following funds and increased allocation demand.

CryptoQuant data reveals that Binance's average monthly single Bitcoin inflow has surged nearly 34 times since early 2021, reaching about 29.7 BTC per transaction. This significant increase indicates heightened activity from large holders or whales on the platform, suggesting that institutional or major investors are accelerating their Bitcoin deposits into the exchange.

An address purchased 3,000 BTC call options with a $100,000 strike price on January 1st for $2.68M, expiring January 30th. The option price has risen to 0.0195 BTC ($1,813), resulting in a floating profit of $2.463M, indicating large bullish BTC options positions held by whales.

Bitcoin's outlook is bullish as whales and sharks, holding 10 to 10,000 BTC, have accumulated over 56,000 BTC since mid-December, signaling a local market bottom. Meanwhile, retail traders are taking profits, expecting a bull trap. This dynamic suggests a higher probability of continued market cap growth. Bitcoin is trading near a seven-week high around $94,800, entering a bullish consolidation phase with key resistance at $95,000-$100,000 and support at $88,000-$90,000.

While the willingness of large holders to add to their positions provides positive support for market sentiment, profit-taking by mid- to small-sized whales in major altcoins and technical indicator divergences suggest there is still short-term pressure from profit-taking. If major resistance is lost, it could trigger a chain of liquidations and short-selling, which may cause spillover effects on WHALES price volatility. When liquidity is tested, it is advised to closely monitor key support levels and trading volume dynamics to guard against short-term fluctuations caused by a sudden weakening in sentiment.

Dogecoin price has achieved a strong 33% reversal since late December, driven by mid-tier whales increasing holdings, unlike earlier failed rallies. However, a hidden bearish divergence and large whales selling nearly 880 million DOGE ($130 million) signal weakening momentum. The key resistance near $0.15 will determine if the rally continues or faces an 8% pullback to $0.137, with further downside possible if support breaks.
