Large-scale investors are steadily increasing long positions in several overlooked altcoins, signaling a potential early-stage accumulation phase.
According to Joao Wedson, CEO of analytics platform Alphractal, whale activity has intensified around four specific tokens: Alien Worlds (TLM), MOBOX (MBOX), FIO Protocol (FIO), and Tutorial (TUT).
These tokens are currently trading in what analysts describe as the “depression zone,” a phase typically characterized by extended price declines and reduced public attention. Despite the subdued sentiment, recent on-chain data indicates that long positions in these altcoins are rising, suggesting growing confidence among institutional players or experienced investors.
Alphractal’s analysis reveals that the increased activity is not coincidental. These assets have remained under the radar, yet whales have been gradually building exposure. The accumulation phase appears methodical, with positions being opened without triggering major price spikes, allowing for strategic entry at low valuations.
The trend implies that sophisticated investors are positioning for a potential shift in market sentiment. Historically, such quiet accumulation has often preceded upward moves in select altcoins. By tracking the behavior of larger holders rather than retail speculation, Alphractal suggests that these tokens could become some of the early movers in the next altcoin cycle.
If the pattern continues, TLM, MBOX, FIO, and TUT may attract broader market attention. The timing of retail interest typically lags behind whale activity, meaning the current phase could represent a window of opportunity for early positioning ahead of any price breakout.
