New Whales are those whose Bitcoin is younger than 155 days – recent capital that tends to be more price-sensitive and tactically active. Old Whales hold Bitcoin older than 155 days – longer-term, more structurally committed capital that tends to move less reactively to short-term price changes.

What madness drives these souls to bind their fortunes to such volatile winds?

From Monday to Thursday, the market’s oracle taxied a cumulative $619 million outflow across four bleak days. Then, on the fated Friday, when the sun rose, a sudden torrent of $737 million surged through the vaults, turning the week’s balance from gloom to optimism.

However, he framed this massive wipeout as a healthy and necessary market-clearing process.

The chart shows the total value of positions closed due to liquidations – red represents short positions and green represents long positions – from May 2025 to May 2026.
