Whales Still HODLing? 🐳 Bitcoin’s Wild Ride Continues! 🎢

by

So, Bitcoin, bless its little heart, had a bit of a tumble, didn’t it? A dramatic 30% “correction,” as the experts like to call it, which sounds so much nicer than “terrifying plunge.” It dipped below $75,000, probably causing some serious pearl-clutching among the crypto bros. But fear not! It seems to be showing signs of… well, not necessarily life, but at least mild interest in not being completely dead. The entire crypto market joined in this half-hearted rebound, all thanks to President Trump’s announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. Except for China, of course, because why should they get a break? They’re now facing a 145% tariff, which I’m sure is just delightful for them. This whole trade war easing thing is supposed to bring relief, but honestly, it just feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. 🚢

Despite all this financial drama, Bitcoin’s, shall we say, “resilience” is apparently gaining attention. CryptoQuant, whoever they are, says that the big whales—you know, the people with so much Bitcoin they could probably buy a small island—haven’t cashed out yet. They’re actually accumulating! Apparently, this is similar to what happened in August–September 2023, which I vaguely remember as a time when I was more worried about finding decent avocados than cryptocurrency. This accumulation thing supposedly means long-term conviction, which I interpret as “they’re still delusional.”

While the short-term is about as predictable as my dating life, the fact that these whales are still swimming around suggests that this whole mess is just a bump in the road. A very expensive, nausea-inducing bump. But a bump nonetheless. With prices stabilizing, or at least pretending to, Bitcoin now has to prove it can actually climb back up. I’m not holding my breath. 💨

Bitcoin Resilient As Key Accumulation Suggests Bull Cycle Intact

Bitcoin, that stubborn little digital thing, is apparently “strong” again after hitting $80,000. Analysts, those people who are always right except when they’re wrong, think the worst is over. But global tensions! Tariffs! Looming recessions! It’s all so exhausting. Despite the impending apocalypse, Bitcoin has shown “resilience” and is approaching a critical resistance level. Which sounds like something out of a fantasy novel. ⚔️

This 90-day pause on tariffs is supposed to be a good thing, but it only applies to everyone except China, which seems a bit unfair. A lasting recovery depends on whether the US and China can reach a “broader agreement.” Which, in my experience, is what people say right before things fall apart completely. 🔥

CryptoQuant, bless their number-crunching hearts, says that the Bitcoin whales are still here. These whales, who are not exchanges or mining pools, give us a clearer view of “real trading behavior.” Because apparently, everything else is just smoke and mirrors. Historically, their movements have mirrored price action. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it sounds vaguely ominous.

Last year, when things were supposedly good, the whales were bailing left and right, taking profits like they were going out of style. But now, they’re accumulating again! Like squirrels preparing for a very long, very digital winter. Unlike the 2020 COVID crash, which they apparently saw coming, they’re sticking around for this one. Which either means they’re smarter than us, or they’ve simply lost their minds. 🤔

This suggests that the current downturn is not a “structural crisis,” but just a “sharp pullback.” If this “manufactured crisis” resolves itself, we might see a new wave of liquidity. Maybe even QE from the Fed and China! Which I think stands for “Quantitative Easing,” but honestly, it could be anything. Anyway, this could favor things like gold and Bitcoin. For now, whale conviction is a “bullish signal.” Which sounds like something a lovesick walrus would say. 🦭

BTC Price Near Key Moving Averages

Bitcoin is trading at $83,600, which is apparently only 5% away from the 200-day moving average. This is a “crucial milestone” for the bulls, who are apparently trying to “confirm a reversal.” To build a solid “bullish case,” Bitcoin has to stay above $81,000 and reclaim $85,000. All of which sounds like a very complicated game of hopscotch. 🪨

Reclaiming these moving averages would signal a “potential shift in trend.” Which means absolutely nothing to me. But it would supposedly restore “confidence across the market.” The price action has shown signs of strength, but apparently, we need “technical validation.” Because nothing is real until a computer tells us it is. 🤖

However, there are still risks! If Bitcoin fails to hold the $81,000–$80,000 range, things could get ugly. A breakdown below this would likely lead to a retest of $75,000. Which sounds like a very expensive version of Groundhog Day. 💸

With macroeconomic tensions still looming, Bitcoin is at a “critical inflection point.” The coming days will determine whether the bulls can take control, or if we’re headed for another correction. Which, honestly, I’m starting to think is just Bitcoin’s natural state. 🤷‍♀️
