Bitcoin whale inflows to Binance hit 0.52, the highest reading since October. Large holders are moving coins onto the exchange faster than smaller investors, a shift that typically precedes selling waves. Bitcoin itself has been stuck between $60,000 and $65,000 for weeks, caught between macro pressure and retail interest.

When whales accumulate on exchanges, they're usually preparing to exit positions. The last time this ratio spiked this high, volatility followed within days. Not every inflow ends in a dump, but the pattern has proven reliable enough that traders watch it closely. The current surge suggests big money is getting restless.

Smaller holders remain net buyers. The divergence between whale and retail behavior is widening, which means the market is split on direction. If whales start moving coins off the platform again, it could signal confidence. If they keep loading up, pressure builds.
