"Trend Accumulation Score by Cohort" from Glassnode, which shows the accumulation behavior of Bitcoin by various groups of owners (cohort) based on the amount of BTC they hold. This is a very useful on-chain analysis tool to understand how large and small entities behave towards Bitcoin over a specific period of time.
Explanation of the Sections of the Image:
1. Heatmap (top section):
Left vertical axis: Divided based on the amount of BTC held:
<1, 1-10, 10-100, 100-1k, 1k-10k, and >10k BTC.
Color:
Red/Orange: High accumulation (entities buying more BTC).
Blue: Distribution (entities selling or reducing holdings).
White/Light Yellow: Neutral or low activity.
Horizontal axis: Time (from August 2024 to May 2025).
2. Price chart (bottom section):
Displays BTC price from the same time period.
This is used to see the relationship between accumulation behavior and price movements.
How to Read It:
For example, in FebruaryโMarch 2025, dark red dominated many cohorts (especially 10-100 BTC, 100-1k BTC), meaning this group was aggressively accumulating BTC while the price was correcting.
Conversely, the dark blue areas indicate distribution, usually occurring after a significant price increaseโsuch as in November 2024.
General Conclusion:
This data helps understand investor sentiment and behavior based on wallet size.
Accumulation by large cohorts (like >1k BTC) can indicate market confidence and potential bullish movements.
Distribution by large cohorts can be a warning signal or profit-taking.
