Wallet Net Position Change 365d
Per-cohort supply delta over a rolling 365-day window for macro-cycle view.
What is it?
Yearly variant of Wallet Net Position Change: for each cohort, the metric measures the supply difference held between today and the same date a year earlier. The wide window acts as a low-pass filter, removing monthly and quarterly oscillations to expose structural accumulation or distribution regimes on the cycle scale (roughly 4 years per halving).
How to read
The six curves read around the zero line. Their persistence above or below zero for several months characterizes the current cycle regime. A structural accumulation regime differs from tactical accumulation by the duration and amplitude of the simultaneously-positive curves.
Key zones
Historic yearly accumulation peaks on a single cohort are rare and correspond to bear-market endings. Historic troughs on whale-humpback cohorts correspond to late-bull-run distribution phases. These magnitudes are historical references, not predictive thresholds.
What to observe
Macro inflections on the whale-humpback curve are the most reliable indications: they typically precede structural price moves by 6 to 18 months. 365-day cumulative accumulation is also used as input to broader composites.
Historical context
2019 marked major whale accumulation that preceded the 2020-2021 bull run. The 2022-2023 cycle saw structural humpback accumulation despite the bear market, a classic deep-value accumulation indicator. The post-spot-ETF period launched in January 2024 saw a whale-to-octopus migration toward ETF custodians.
Expert notes
The 365-day window masks internal custody reorganizations and seasonal movements, making it more reliable for identifying real economic flows. It has an intrinsic lag: today's indicator refers to a window that integrates one year ago.
Common mistakes to avoid
A value near zero on a cohort does not mean no movement during the year: large-amplitude accumulations and distributions can cancel out. To disambiguate, compare with the 30-day variant or raw unsmoothed series.
