Bitcoin's rally intensifies as it approaches the $98K milestone, reaching $97,800 with an impressive 8% weekly surge. What's particularly noteworthy is the whale accumulation pattern—addresses holding 10-100K BTC have scooped up 32.7K BTC since mid-January, nudging their total holdings up by 0.24%. This steady accumulation signals strong conviction among major players. Meanwhile, futures markets are reflecting the optimistic sentiment, with the positioning index climbing to 3.5—a bullish signal that suggests traders are leaning heavily into long positions. The combination of whale activity and bullish futures positioning paints an interesting picture of where smart money expects this market to head.

Whales are accumulating, and futures are also rising. Is this wave really aiming for 98K? Feels like the top isn't far away.

Whales are hoarding aggressively. What does this mean?

Whales are stockpiling, and futures are also bullishly crazy. It seems this wave is indeed different.

Whales are quietly accumulating, and we're still hesitating... What a gap.

Big whales are making such a big move within a 0.24% increase. What does that indicate? It means they are betting on sustainability, not short-term speculation... Can this logic hold up?
