Active Addresses
In the number of active addresses, 1,073,850 entries were made to the exchanges between 3 February and 12 February 2025 this week. In the said date range, Bitcoin rose from 94,000 to 101,000. We see that Bitcoin purchases are accelerating in the region where the number of active addresses, which is the highest number of active addresses since the first days of February, and where the addresses ready to trade intersect the price and the number of active addresses in the region marked on the chart. When we follow the 7-day simple moving average, it is observed that the price follows a downward trend on the dates when this average cut the price. Bitcoin reached 964,867 in correlation with the active address EMA (7). This situation indicates that the Bitcoin price experienced entries at $ 97,000 levels and exited at $ 95,000 levels.
On the Active Receiving Addresses, it is seen that on February 10, when the price was 97,000, the number of buyers approached the highest levels of 465,414 and the longest buying was at the level where investors went to increase their Bitcoin positions. However, it is noteworthy that the SMA (7-Day) is close to changing the trend direction (entering the bullish zone) at the intersection with the price at 465.414.
On the exits, there was a significant increase in active shipping addresses towards February 11, along with the Black Line (price line). On the day of the price peak, active shipping addresses rose as high as 754,825, indicating that buyers sold their positions as Bitcoin stayed around the 95,000 level for a while. The average of 738,471 active addresses may indicate that the market is falling and investors are selling out of fear.

Derivatives
Open Interest
The chart shows Bitcoin’s Open Interest (OI) and price movements. On 5 February, OI was around $ 30.5 billion, while it gradually increased to $ 32.63 billion on 12 February. During this period, price movements followed a fluctuating course. Between 5-7 February, OI was slowly rising while the price was in a downward trend. On 8 February, OI continued to rise, but there was no significant movement on the price side. On 9 February, the price made a sharp upward movement while the OI fell briefly. However, as of 10 February, there was a strong rise in both OI and price.
On 11 February, there was a striking situation. While the price fell rapidly, the OI continued to rise. This shows that a high amount of short positions have been opened in the market. When examined together with the funding rate data, it can be said that some of these positions were replaced by long positions as of 11 February.
Funding Rate
On 5 February, the funding rate was 0.005, followed by a gradual decline in the following days, reaching its lowest level on 8 February. As of 9 February, the funding rate started to rise again and peaked on 10 February with a significant increase. On 10 February, the funding rate rose sharply while the price also increased during the same period. On 11 February, the price fell sharply while the funding rate remained at high levels. On 12 February, the funding rate increased again and maintained its high levels and a recovery was also observed on the price side.
In general, funding rate was in positive territory and reached its highest level on 10 February. There are parallel and sometimes inversely correlated movements between the funding rate and the price. The fact that the funding rate remained high while the price fell on 11 February may indicate the intensity of leveraged long positions.

While there was a limited increase of 0.02% in the ‘1 – 100 BTC’ category, there was a remarkable increase of 0.22% in the ‘100 – 1k BTC’ category.

Transaction
Transaction Count
Between 29 January and 4 February, a total of 2,427,886 transactions were executed, while between 5-11 February, this number increased to 2,858,411, an increase of approximately 17.75%. The lowest trading volume was recorded on Tuesday 11 February with 337,389 trades, while the highest was 498,221 on 7 February. This may be a sign that it is starting to evolve into a different trend from the trading declines usually observed on weekends.
Tokens Transferred
While the amount of Bitcoin transferred between 29 January and 4 February was 4,568,006 BTC, this amount decreased to 3,802,662 between 5-11 February, a decrease of approximately 16.76%. Nevertheless, as is usually the case, it was observed that the amount of Bitcoin transferred on Saturdays and Sundays was at the lowest levels.
While there was an increase in the number of transactions this week compared to last week, the decrease in the total amount of Bitcoin transferred indicates that the average transfer size, that is, the amount of Bitcoin per transaction, has decreased. This indicates that investors are trading in smaller pieces or that small investors are becoming more involved in the market.
Whale Activities
Cryptoquant CEO Ki Young Ju said on the X platform: ‘Capital has chosen BTC, don’t go against them.’ At the same time, the old whale and the new incoming whale shared a graph they owned, and it was stated that the realised market value of BTC owned by the new whale appeared to be about 2.5 times that of the old whales. On the other hand, Bitcoin whales are reportedly taking advantage of the downtrend to accumulate more Bitcoin. According to Santiment, the number of addresses holding 100 BTC or more increased by 135 in February, while the number of those holding less than 100 BTC decreased by 138,680. Santiment added to his words: ‘When whales absorb supply, ideal conditions are created for the market value to rise, even if it takes weeks or months for the price to rise.’ he said. In addition, a significant amount of idle Bitcoin has been moved after sitting untouched for 7 to 10 years, fuelling speculation within the crypto community about potential market impact. According to CryptoQuant analyst Dan, approximately 14,000 BTC were transferred, valued at over $1.3 billion. The move, tracked using the Bitcoin Spent Output Age Bands metric, marks the first time these coins have been used in nearly a decade. While such large transactions often cause market reactions, Dan pointed out that the fact that these coins were not immediately sent to exchanges indicates that their owners did not want to sell them immediately.
Whales Data
According to the data that attracted attention in the cryptocurrency market in the last 7 days, whale activities on the central stock exchange reached high levels in the first days. When we look at the last 7-day whale movements, the use of central exchanges by whales varies. When we look at the Exchange Whale Ratio metric, it showed that whales used central exchanges very frequently at the beginning of the 7-day process and the value was measured as 0.58. This measurement reached 0.53 in the middle of the process, showing us that whales started to use the central stock exchange less frequently than the first day. At the time of writing, the value is 0.49. When this ratio is above 0.350, it usually means that whales use central exchanges frequently. At the same time, the total BTC transfer decreased by about 15% compared to last week, with 3,802,662 BTC moving.
