On-Chain Accumulation Zone

Definition

An on-chain accumulation zone signifies a period identified through blockchain data where a significant number of long-term investors or “whales” are actively acquiring an asset, often at lower prices, without causing a substantial immediate price increase. This phase suggests a transfer of supply from short-term holders to stronger hands, indicating a potential build-up of demand. It is typically observed by analyzing wallet activity, transaction volumes, and holder behavior directly on the blockchain. Such zones often precede upward price movements.
