Bitcoin Giants Fold: BTC Sell Pressure Now Driven By Recent Whale Buyers, More Pain Ahead?

by

Ah, Bitcoin. The great rollercoaster of 2025! Investors are scrambling, and why? Because Bitcoin just took one of its largest nose-dives in recent memory. Over the past few weeks, it has seen a steady sell-off, driving the price down to a humble $82,000. In the world of crypto, that’s practically a fire sale. And guess who’s leading the charge? New Bitcoin whales. The rookies who thought they were joining a gold rush, only to find themselves knee-deep in… well, let’s just say not gold.

New Bitcoin Whales Show Weak Hands

So, what’s the scoop here? Bitcoin’s recent plunge has made even the most hardened investors nervous, but it’s not the veterans who are getting jittery. No, no-it’s the shiny new whales who’ve joined the fray and, well, they’re cracking under the pressure.

In a rather dramatic post on the X platform, CryptoRus revealed the sad tale of these new whales. Instead of holding steady, they’re panicking and selling their precious BTC at a loss. One could say they’re dumping faster than a hot potato. Meanwhile, the seasoned old guard of Bitcoin whales is holding firm, like a stoic monk in a storm. The old-timers are just chilling while the rookies are tossing their coins into the market like it’s a fire sale.

In a shocking plot twist, new whales are selling off their Bitcoin, realizing losses, and bailing out in fear. The veterans? Oh, they’re just doing their usual thing: quietly accumulating more BTC. One might even say it’s like watching a shark swim through a school of panicked fish. 🦈

If you take a peek at the chart (see below), you’ll notice something curious: the 30-day momentum is actually looking a bit positive for the first time in weeks. And yet, those poor new whales are coughing up their coins like a cat with a furball. Classic weak-hand move. The kind of thing you’d expect from someone who bought Bitcoin on a whim after watching a few too many YouTube videos about moonshots.

But here’s where it gets interesting: despite all the chaos, whale balances are creeping upward. And as CryptoRus points out, this divergence between whale balances and Bitcoin’s price tends to mark major bottoms. So, while retail investors are suffering, the seasoned pros are quietly buying up more Bitcoin in the $80,000-$95,000 range. Bottoming out, anyone? Oh, and the likely outcome? A modest rally in January. But don’t expect another year-long bull run, folks. Sorry to burst your bubble.

In the end, this is how Bitcoin markets behave. Pain, panic, a bit of FOMO, and then a sneaky rally. Welcome to the crypto circus.

Accumulation And Distribution Among Whales

Amid all the drama, it seems there’s still a method to the madness. According to Darkfost, an analyst over at CryptoQuant, whales are still actively shifting their holdings. There’s been an increase in both accumulation and distribution among these big players.

At the moment, large investors (those with at least 10,000 BTC) have been buying up more than 26,300 BTC. Meanwhile, smaller whale categories, such as those holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC, have been distributing over 112,600 BTC. It’s like a game of musical chairs, but with Bitcoin. Everyone’s moving around, trying to get comfortable before the music stops.

So, what does this mean? Well, it’s possible some whales have simply changed categories, shifting from one tier to another. But one thing’s for sure: the big fish are back in acquisition mode. And while the price is dropping, they’re quietly scooping up Bitcoin like it’s going out of style.
