The 14-day moving average of coins spent by these patient holders jumped to nearly 25,000 BTC, the highest level since January.
September historically represents Bitcoin’s weakest month, averaging negative 3.77% returns since 2013 with losses recorded in eight of the past twelve years.
However, record whale accumulation continues, with addresses holding over 100 BTC reaching an all-time high of 19,130. Bitcoin ETFs experienced their first weekly outflows since June, recording $126.64 million in net redemptions.
Fidelity’s FBTC led outflows with $66.2 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT defied the trend with $24.63 million in inflows. Ethereum ETFs showed contrasting strength with $3.9 billion in August inflows.

Key resistance levels for Bitcoin center around $112,000 to $114,000, while critical support sits between $105,000 and $108,000. A break below $100,000 could trigger deeper corrections toward $93,000, though analysts suggest maximum downside remains limited to 8% from current levels.
