Santiment: Major players accumulated over 40,000 BTC in two weeks. News headline collage.

Major players increased their holdings by more than 40,000 BTC in two weeks, according to Santiment.
Retail investors also increased their positions, but by significantly smaller volumes.
Market sentiment shifted from FUD to FOMO within a few days.
The level around $80 000 remains a key resistance for Bitcoin, experts emphasized.
Key market participants in Bitcoin are actively increasing their positions amid the crypto market growth. This was reported by Santiment analysts.

According to their data, wallets with a balance from 10 to 10,000 BTC added over 40,000 BTC in the last two weeks, accounting for about 0.3% of their total reserves. At the same time, addresses with less than 0.01 BTC accumulated only about 46 BTC.

Analysts noted that the ideal scenario for continued growth is further accumulation by large players against the backdrop of retail investors taking profits. Such market structure has historically signaled a long-term bullish trend.

How has market sentiment changed?
Separately, Santiment pointed out a sharp shift in sentiment among market participants. Over a few days, they moved from extreme pessimism to an active FOMO (“fear of missing out”).

Experts noted that at the beginning of the week, Bitcoin showed weakness after rising nearly to $80 000, which was accompanied by the spread of FUD. However, the price then quickly recovered and again approached this level.

Amid the price recovery, analysts recorded a sharp increase in optimism. At the same time, they emphasized that excessive FOMO could be a signal for caution.

Santiment suggested that Bitcoin’s price could continue to rise — breaking the $80 000 level might attract new participants and bring back some traders to the market.

At the same time, analysts noted that a more stable scenario for the continuation of the rally is a moderate decrease in investor optimism levels.
