Recently, the activity on the BTC chain has started to become interesting. From late December to mid-January, the average USD value per transaction jumped from $24,897 to $37,194, an increase of nearly 50%. This is no coincidence; what does it indicate? It means that the "hidden" liquidity during the holiday season has begun to surface.

From another perspective, this is driven by large capital accelerating turnover. The trading volume of retail investors remains relatively stable, but such a significant increase in average transaction value can only indicate that institutions and whales have already begun to act. They are testing market depth and assessing price ranges.

The new situation in 2026 is now in front of us—such changes in capital flow often signal the eve of a new round of competition. Who will lead this round of market movement depends on the upcoming real on-chain capital flows. By monitoring the data carefully, one can seize the opportunity.

The average transaction amount has surged by 50%, and the whales can finally no longer hold back. Retail investors are still in a daze, while large funds have already started to position themselves.

50% increase, whales really can't sit still anymore --- This wave of big capital movements shows that no one truly left the market during the holiday, everyone is just holding back big moves --- The average price has increased so much, retail investors have long been washed out, now it's all about institutional players' game --- A new situation in 2026? First, look at the on-chain data before bragging, don’t fall for another surface-level prosperity --- Invisible liquidity appears, or is someone building walls to test prices? It's hard to tell if it's a sign of an upcoming rise or a prelude to dumping --- If this trend continues, small retail investors should accept their fate; this game isn't really meant for us --- The average transaction amount jumped from 25,000 to 37,000, impressive, but the question is, who knows if this is accumulation or distribution --- Whales are testing market depth, in simple terms, they're looking for points to dump, we need to be more cautious --- On the eve of the game, it's the same old phrase, every time it’s said, the market then rises, I don’t believe you for a second
