🐳 Satoshi’s Secret Stash: 40K Bitcoin Moves, Market Holds Breath!

by

Ah, the thrilling world of cryptocurrency! As the price of Bitcoin reached a positively dizzying $123,200, the market was set abuzz by a most intriguing development. Our top analyst, Darkfost, has reported a major movement involving one of the oldest and most closely watched wallets in crypto history.

It appears that the remaining 40,000 BTC—valued at approximately $4.75 billion—still held by the 80K Satoshi-era whale have all moved. The shift began last night, signaling renewed activity from the early Bitcoin holder. Until now, only half of the whale’s holdings had been moved, while the rest remained dormant. This latest transfer marks the full mobilization of the entire 80,000 BTC once controlled by the entity.

While the motive behind the move remains unknown, the market is watching closely for signs of potential selling or redistribution. Bitcoin’s ability to hold above key support levels despite this high-stakes movement may reflect strong demand and investor confidence. However, with $4.75 billion now in motion, traders are bracing for possible volatility ahead.

Satoshi-Era BTC Consolidates Into Single Address

Darkfost highlighted a major on-chain development that has captured the market’s attention: Each of the four wallets, previously holding 10,000 BTC from the 80K whale, sent their funds to a single destination address bc1qs4nzm0je7wqfyfmqr4ht4upyzy57vc95nf4au0. This address now holds the entire $4.75 billion stash, raising new questions about the intent behind the move.

According to Darkfost, while the pattern differs from previous sell-off precedents, the market must remain alert. “I guess these BTC might also end up hitting the market soon,” he commented. This kind of movement—especially from dormant, high-value wallets—often signals large-scale positioning, which can precede either institutional sales or strategic long-term storage.

The timing coincides with rising bullish momentum across the crypto market. With Bitcoin consolidating above $118,000 following its $123,200 all-time high, traders are eyeing a potential breakout. Adding fuel to this outlook, all three key crypto-related bills were passed by the US House this week, removing significant regulatory uncertainty and clearing a path for broader adoption.

Bitcoin Weekly Chart Signals Fresh Momentum

The weekly chart shows Bitcoin holding strong above $118,000 after surging to an all-time high of $123,200. This breakout follows a prolonged consolidation just below the $110,000 resistance, which acted as a ceiling for several months. Now turned support, the $109,300 and $103,600 zones are critical demand levels, offering a firm foundation for continuation if bulls maintain control.

The structure of the recent weekly candles reflects bullish dominance, characterized by strong bodies and relatively small upper wicks. This suggests controlled profit-taking and growing confidence from buyers. Meanwhile, volume is picking up, confirming participation in the breakout and hinting at the possibility of sustained momentum in the coming weeks.

All major moving averages—50-week ($88,214), 100-week ($69,139), and 200-week ($50,254)—are trending upward and remain well below current price levels, reinforcing a long-term bullish trend. As Bitcoin consolidates above former resistance, this zone may now serve as a launchpad for a move toward the next psychological target at $130,000.
