Bitcoin Slips Over 8% as Whales Execute Strategic Selling on Binance
Bitcoin has decreased over 8% from last week's record high of over $124,000, currently trading around $113,867, marking a 6.3% decline in the past week.
- On-chain data indicates significant selling by large holders (whales) on Binance.
- Whales are strategically distributing holdings near resistance levels, particularly between $118,000 and $120,000.
- Deposits in the 100–1,000 BTC range have been observed, indicating calculated selling aimed at profit capture.
- The 30-day cumulative whale flow remains stable at $4.8 billion, showing ongoing accumulation trends despite short-term selling pressure.
- Each rebound attempt is countered by additional whale deposits to exchanges, which could lead Bitcoin to test the $110,000 support zone if buying activity does not increase.
Market Dynamics
Institutional strategies, such as dollar-cost averaging and on-chain settlements, also influence demand but do not always dictate price direction. Monitoring ETF inflows and exchange premiums is essential for understanding market sentiment.
The combination of whale-driven selling and institutional accumulation complicates current market dynamics, potentially determining whether Bitcoin stabilizes or faces deeper corrections.
