Bitcoin has seen modest upward momentum in the past 24 hours, climbing back above $83,000 following a recent correction period. The move comes shortly after US President Donald Trump announced a temporary 90-day pause on tariffs, offering a degree of relief to global financial markets.
Though the asset remains down approximately 24% from its all-time high of over $109,000 set in January, its recent decline has now been trimmed to single digits on a weekly scale. This recovery coincides with increased interest from large-scale Bitcoin holders.
$3.6 Billion Inflows Suggest Renewed Institutional Activity
On April 9, accumulation addresses—wallets associated with long-term investors that rarely distribute funds—received a notable 48,575 BTC, according to on-chain data shared by CryptoQuant analyst Burak Kesmeci.
This inflow, the largest since February 2022, totaled approximately $3.6 billion in value. The timing, according to Kesmeci, is significant: it mirrors a similar event from the past, both in scale and macroeconomic backdrop.
Kesmeci emphasized that these accumulation wallets typically increase holdings during market pullbacks. The April 9 transaction occurred when Bitcoin traded around $76,000, a level tested during last week’s sell-off triggered by concerns over renewed trade tensions.
The volume and pattern of inflows suggest a recurring strategy among institutional or long-term market participants whereby they capitalize on corrections and accumulate during uncertainty.
Interestingly, the total value of the inflows—$3.6 billion—matches that of February 1, 2022, another period marked by broader macroeconomic instability.
While this could be coincidental, Kesmeci noted that the repetition of such behavior in response to macro-driven price declines may indicate a deeper behavioral trend among accumulation address holders.
Massive $3.6 Billion Bitcoin Inflow to Accumulation Addresses!

Bitcoin Whales Increase Reserves Despite Weak Network Activity
Adding to the accumulation narrative, another CryptoQuant analyst known as caueconomy noted that whale wallets—addresses holding large BTC balances—have resumed consistent buying since March.
According to caueconomy, more than 100,000 BTC has been added to whale reserves in that timeframe. This comes despite the subdued on-chain activity and a visible pullback in retail participation.
The distinction between investor profiles has become clearer in recent months. While smaller investors appear to be withdrawing amid heightened market uncertainty, large holders are taking advantage of lower prices to strengthen their positions.
The strategy, according to caueconomy, aims to reduce average acquisition costs and position for long-term gains. This divergence in behavior may not translate to immediate price shifts but could set the stage for a more pronounced upward move once broader sentiment recovers.

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.
When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)
Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.
In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.
Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
