Institutions Scoop Up BTC and ETH After Crypto’s Biggest Liquidation Event

by

Ah, Bitcoin-ever the resilient one. After being thrown into the deepest depths of liquidation, it has clawed its way back up, like some mythical creature, surging to a staggering $116,000. On Monday, it managed a modest 3% rise, because why not? Meanwhile, Ethereum, the underdog, managed a miraculous 9% gain, reaching $4,200 at one point. Ah, the glory of crypto markets-always full of surprises.

The reason for this surge, you ask? The answer, my dear reader, is simple: big, fat, institutional money. Nothing excites the market quite like the sound of banks and hedge funds sweeping up assets while the rest of us panic-sell. Classic move, right?

Wall Street Moves In

CryptoQuant, a reliable source for all things crypto-related, has detected something peculiar. Bitcoin’s Coinbase Premium Index, which is basically the market’s thermometer for institutional activity, hit a 19-month high on October 10. A sure sign that institutional buyers, despite the massive downturn, are *still* gobbling up Bitcoin like it’s going out of style.

As Bitcoin took a nosedive from $122,000 to a humbling $110,000, the Coinbase Premium Index shot up like a rocket to 0.182. Apparently, during a massive sell-off, institutional buyers on the U.S. exchanges felt compelled to step in and scoop up discounted coins. And why not? Buy low, sell high. The eternal mantra of the investor!

Normally, in times like these, the premium would drop, and the market would face the brunt of panic selling. But, oh no, not this time. Instead, institutions jumped in with all the gusto of a Black Friday shopper. This, of course, means that Bitcoin may have found a new support level-around $110,000. Could it be that the institutions have set up camp as the market’s new stabilizing force? Only time will tell.

CryptoQuant believes that this steady accumulation of Bitcoin by institutions could act as a buffer, protecting the price from falling too far. It might even spark a rally once the panic has subsided. It’s like they’re waiting for the dust to settle so they can raise the flag of victory.

And as for Ethereum? Well, it was no slouch either. The Coinbase Premium Index for ETH also soared to a record high on the same day. Institutional buyers, seeing a juicy opportunity, didn’t hesitate. This wasn’t a crisis to them-it was a chance to snag ETH at a discount. A strategy that might be hard for the average retail investor to appreciate, but not for the big boys with their deep pockets.

“The US and global market sentiment is diverging, but that’s just the way these big investors like it. It means they can snap up Ethereum while everyone else is running for the hills.”

What’s Next?

Ah, but the plot thickens. Bull Theory, always a source of intrigue, has described the recent market crash as nothing less than a *pre-planned* liquidation event-an event orchestrated by none other than former President Donald Trump. His trade announcement, designed to send markets into a tailspin, was perfectly timed with the actions of one of Bitcoin’s oldest whales. This whale-no doubt enjoying a private laugh-had quietly been opening enormous short positions worth billions of dollars.

Two days before Trump’s Truth Social post, this mysterious whale had already started making its moves. And then, when Trump confirmed that 100% tariffs on Chinese imports would go into effect on November 1, the market responded with a giant collective gasp. Bitcoin plummeted to $102,000, altcoins were crushed, and $20 billion in positions were liquidated. A true spectacle. In fact, about $1 trillion in market cap disappeared into thin air, like magic. Only this wasn’t a magician’s trick-it was a *masterstroke* of market manipulation.

And the whale? Well, 30 minutes before Trump’s official announcement, it doubled its short exposure, then calmly closed its positions, walking away with an estimated $200 million profit. A clean and calculated play. No retail panic, no impulsive moves-just cold, hard strategy.

But don’t fret, dear reader. According to Bull Theory, this chaos wasn’t just a random fluke. Oh no, it was a “structural purge,” similar to the ones that cleared out excess leverage back in March 2020 and mid-2023. And we all know what happened after those purges: massive upcycles. So, take a deep breath. The market might just be setting up for the next big thing.
