Whale Activity Spikes as Smart Money Eyes Reversal Zones

Amid current market volatility, blockchain analytics firm Santiment has reported a notable rise in whale activity targeting a select group of altcoins.

Large transactions—defined as movements over $100,000—have been climbing for several mid-cap assets that are typically overlooked by retail traders.

According to Santiment’s on-chain data, Immutable X (IMX) recently experienced its second-highest whale transaction day in the past three months. Meanwhile, Curve (CRV) saw its fourth-highest, while both Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Convex Finance (CVX) recorded their fifth-highest days in terms of whale transaction count during the same timeframe.

Santiment shared a comparative chart showing transaction spikes across all four tokens. The rise in large transactions may suggest increased accumulation, distribution, or positioning by major holders—often seen as early indicators of trend reversals or incoming volatility. When whales move in clusters, it can reflect either opportunistic buying at local lows or the beginning of more active speculation in preparation for broader market moves.

For investors and analysts monitoring altcoin rotations, this data may serve as an early warning system. Santiment encourages users to track real-time whale activity on their interactive dashboard to help identify potential price inflection points.

As markets remain cautious, spikes in whale movement on mid-cap assets like IMX, CRV, BCH, and CVX could foreshadow a shift in sentiment and capital allocation strategies among larger players.
