Long-Dormant Whale Activity

Definition

Long-dormant whale activity refers to the movement of large amounts of cryptocurrency by addresses that have been inactive for extended periods. A “whale” typically holds a substantial quantity of a particular digital asset, and their sudden transaction after years of inactivity can significantly influence market sentiment and price. Such movements often lead to speculation about the whale’s intentions, whether it is to sell, reallocate, or stake their holdings. This activity is closely monitored by market analysts for potential market impact.
