Despite bulls returning to the market, on-chain data suggests that the current state of BTC is not in an accumulation phase.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Is Not In An Accumulation Phase<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s price appears to have regained bullish traction once again, breaking past key resistance levels that previously halted upward attempts. However, the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-bulls-to-reclaim-market-when-price-closes-above-this-level-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">market structure of BTC<\/a> is triggering questions about whether the flagship asset is now in an accumulation phase.<\/p>\n<p>Joao Wedson, a market expert and the founder of Alphactal on-chain platform, has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/joao_wedson\/status\/2008145744209862722?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">offered insights<\/a> into Bitcoin\u2019s market dynamics, revealing what the current market structure actually looks like rather than accumulation. Although price action may appear stable on the surface, on-chain and flow statistics indicate that buyers are not yet intervening with the conviction usually observed during classic accumulation periods.<\/p>\n<p>According to the market expert, BTC\u2019s current market structure leans heavily towards a redistribution phase rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/classic-bitcoin-signal-returns-miners-accumulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">an accumulation phase<\/a>. This suggests that activity is more of a transitory scenario where distribution and cautious participation continue to prevail, as the market looks for a clearer direction.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-654228\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=980&amp;resize=980%2C551\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=3840 3840w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Joao-Wedson.jpeg?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>If <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/4-bitcoin-targets-to-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">the price of BTC<\/a> reaches the $95,000 to $96,700 range, Wedson claims that the market could witness strong selling interest from large investors or whales in the area, fueled by liquidity escape. Meanwhile, for those thinking about opening short positions, the expert has declared that this is the region where the decision makes the most sense.<\/p>\n<p>Wedson\u2019s bold statement is supported by the fact that the market usually deceives. However, before a real move is carried out in the current market state, even those who are positioned correctly typically need to be liquidated.<\/p>\n<h2>Realized Losses Are Still Dominant In The Market<\/h2>\n<p>Price action may have turned bullish, but on-chain activity has not completely moved into positive zones. Despite the current rebound in Bitcoin Darkfost, a CryptoQuant author and market expert has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Darkfost_Coc\/status\/2008120578192908423?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">disclosed<\/a> that realized losses continue to dominate the market.<\/p>\n<p>Darkfost\u2019s research is mainly centered on the Bitcoin weekly average of realized profits and losses. As observed on the chart, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/a-major-bitcoin-pivot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">the realized profits of BTC<\/a> are at $312 million, while realized losses are maintaining a value of $511 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This divergence shows that some investors are choosing to capitulate and exit the market by reducing their losses in spite of the ongoing recovery in BTC\u2019s price. Furthermore, these <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-drop-and-capitulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">phases of capitulation<\/a> have frequently signaled the end of corrective phases.<\/p>\n<p>The current capitulation has intensified over the past week.
