Bitcoin (BTC) may be positioning for another significant upward move as on- 
chain data suggests strong accumulation activity among long-term holders. A 
CryptoQuant author, Darkfost on X, highlighted a significant rise in demand 
from accumulator addresses that consistently acquire and retain Bitcoin. 
According to him, the current behavior of these investors could influence 
market sentiment and trigger a price bounce in Bitcoin. Bitcoin Accumulation 
Activity Suggests Future Upside Darkfost’s CryptoQuant chart analysis shows 
that monthly accumulation from “accumulator addresses” now averages around 
372,000 BTC, up sharply from 10,000 BTC per month in September 2024. This 
substantial increase in long-term buying indicates a strategic positioning 
that contrasts with the recent short-term trading behavior in the market.

Significance His chart also shows that demand from accumulator addresses was 
steadily increasing each year. According to the analyst, Bitcoin’s latest 
price decline appears to have created opportunities for these long-term 
investors to continue buying aggressively. Rather than reacting to ongoing 
price volatility, they appear to be focused on Bitcoin&#8217;s future growth and are 
positioning ahead of any potential bounce. Notably, Darkfrost has indicated 
that the scale of the recent accumulation is unprecedented, suggesting a large 
portion of Bitcoin has consistently been removed from circulation. As demand 
continues to increase and supply declines, this could create ideal conditions 
for an upward price movement. The recent accumulation trend also highlights a 
major contrast between short-term trading and deliberate positioning. 
Accumulator addresses tend to show a disciplined, patient approach to 
investing, which has historically aligned with periods of stronger market 
performance. Their aggressive buying may act as a stabilizing factor in the 
market and provide early indicators for a possible price rebound. The same 
principle applies to periods with notable sell-offs and weak demand. When 
investor sentiment is low, particularly in highly volatile conditions, it can 
contribute to more pronounced downtrends. How Accumulator Addresses Are 
Identified Darkfost notes that CryptoQuant identifies accumulator addresses 
using a detailed set of criteria. According to him, these addresses show no 
outflows and must have purchased a minimum amount of BTC in their latest 
transaction. Each address must also have at least two separate purchasing 
events or inflows, hold a minimum total Bitcoin balance, and have been active 
at least once over the past seven years. Related Reading: Why The Bitcoin 
Price Crash Toward $60,000 Was “Necessary” To ensure accuracy, CryptoQuant 
also excludes known exchanges and miner addresses, as well as any addresses 
that interact with smart contracts. This framework helps reduce distortions 
and provides a clearer picture of long-term holders actively accumulating 
Bitcoin. Darkfost emphasized that the identification and selection process is 
precise and thorough, allowing confidence in the validity of the observed 
accumulation. While CryptoQuant takes extensive measures to be accurate, the 
report acknowledges that selection is not perfect and cannot capture every 
entity, such as centralized exchanges or miners. Featured image from Getty
