Bitcoin Whales Panic-Sell $45B: Is the Crypto Party Over? 🐋💸

by

Oh no, not again! Bitcoin is having another one of its “wardrobe malfunction” moments, this time thanks to crypto whales panic-selling 400,000 BTC-roughly $45 billion-because apparently, even digital gold gets too hot to hold 🤯. The price? Slammed below $100K like a bad Tinder date. Current price: $102K. Peak? A distant memory. Regrets? Plentiful.

Last month’s chaos was all about leveraged futures blowing up like overcooked popcorn. Now it’s the spot market’s turn to play pin-the-tail-on-the-bear-market 🎯. Spoiler: The tail is winning.

Market moves and liquidations (aka adult-sized tantrums)

Bitcoin plunged 7.4%-because nothing says “confidence” like a good old-fashioned nosedive 📉. It’s clinging to $102K like a sobriety test, down 20% from October’s “I’m invincible” high. Meanwhile, $2B in crypto positions got liquidated overnight. Not bad, but October’s $19B wipeout still haunts futures traders like a Stephen King novel 🕯️👻.

K33 Research spotted 319,000 dormant BTC coins waking up-coins that napped for 6-12 months. Plot twist: Their owners are cashing out post-midlife-crisis rally. Congrats on the gains, boomers! 🎉

History’s hot take: “Here we go again” 🎬

Bloomberg’s analysts warn long-term investors are ghosting Bitcoin harder than a gym membership. Markus Thielen (10x Research) notes “mega whales” (1K-10K BTC wallets) started selling earlier this year. Post-October crash? They’re dumping faster than expired milk 🥛.

Thielen predicts this selloff could drag until spring 2025-like the 2021-2022 bear market, where Bitcoin fell 75% (from $68K to $15K) and crypto’s total value evaporated from $3T to $850B. No crash? Sure, Jan. But $85K might be the new “meh” 🤷.

In conclusion: This isn’t panic. It’s a slow, methodical whale-sized fire sale. Buyers? Fewer than a vegan at a steakhouse 🐾. Maybe bring popcorn. Or a life preserver.
