Bitcoin's whale landscape is shifting in real time.

Wallet addresses stacking 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have dumped 220,000 Bitcoin over the past year—that's the sharpest decline we've seen since early 2023. No small matter when you're tracking serious hodlers.

Here's what caught attention: a nearly identical pattern played out during 2021–2022, right before the market peaked. History doesn't repeat, but it sure does echo. Whether this latest whale repositioning signals another inflection point is the million-dollar question worth monitoring as we move forward.

220k BTC dumped out, does this rhythm feel a bit familiar... Is the 2021 cycle about to repeat itself?

Coming back with this again? The 2022 wave was also said the same way, and what happened... The whales ran away, and we're still here chasing.

220k has been poured out... Are they really coming this time? Last year, I watched them gradually reduce their holdings, and now they're getting anxious.

220k BTC dumped, the data is indeed tight. Compared to the 2021-2022 wave, the time series is interesting, but with only one year of sample size, from a statistical perspective, it still lacks convincing power.
