✅ Where does accumulation appear?
✅ And how do we know that whales are really buying?
✅ Accumulation is the phase where big players (whales) buy large quantities without attracting attention.
In the chart, we can observe it through:
🔹 Candles with long lower wicks → this indicates strong buying during every drop
🔹 Price moving in a narrow range after a significant correction
🔹 Low volume during the drop and high volume during the rise
🔹 Price stabilizes above important moving averages (like MA 25 or MA 50) → evidence of institutional support
🐳 How do we know that whales are buying?
1️⃣ From price and volume behavior
When we see candles dropping but volume is weak → selling without pressure
Then a quick rise comes with strong volume → this means a big player is entering
2️⃣ From on-chain data
For example, in the case of BNB, we saw in recent days:
Large wallets withdrawing BNB from exchanges → intention to hold, not sell
A decrease in negative volume on the network
Increase in the number of large transactions
3️⃣ Indicators:
In some indicators, it helps you uncover accumulation phases, like:
🔸 OBV (On-Balance Volume)
🔸 Accumulation/Distribution Line
🔸 Whale Alerts or CEX outflows data (not available directly on TradingView but sometimes published in reports)
🧠 Practical example on BNB:
The price holds above $665 despite the pressure
Every time it approaches $660, we find candles with long lower wicks
Volume rises with green candles
⬅️ This means: a strong player is buying every time the price drops → this is accumulation.
📌 Summary:
We don't have to be inside the whales' minds... but when we know how they hide their movements, we can ride the wave with them 💼🐋
Any drop without a crash, with strong support and reasonable volume = smart entry opportunity.
