The realized price of Bitcoin held by long-standing whale entities has shown minimal movement during major market bottoms, according to historical data. This metric, which tracks the average acquisition price of BTC by these large holders, remained nearly unchanged during significant downturns, indicating a strategic pause rather than panic selling. During the 2018–2019 market bottom, the realized price for old whales fluctuated only about 3% over seven months, while a similar pattern was observed in early 2020 with less than a 0.5% change. In the 2022 bear market, the realized price stayed within a 1.6% range over eight months. This stability suggests that these whales maintain strong conviction and prefer to hold rather than react to short-term market stress. Historically, once the market structure improves, these whales become active again, potentially signaling a broader market recovery.
