Bitcoin is facing increased pressure as whales send record volumes to exchanges. In a single day, up to 9,000 BTC arrived, accounting for roughly 45% of all inflows. If this trend continues, analysts expect further room for price declines.
Whale sales are intensifying
Analysts at CryptoQuant warn that continued selling pressure could push the price even lower. Inflows to exchanges reached up to 9,000 BTC, while the price on Coinbase fell to $80,600 — the lowest in seven months. Although Bitcoin briefly climbed above $90,000, it is losing ground again and has fallen below that threshold. At the same time, data shows that almost half of the volume comes from large deposits exceeding 100 BTC.
Whales appear to be actively moving their coins to exchanges, where they are then sold. On a single day, up to 7,000 BTC arrived, and the average deposit amount rose to 1.23 BTC – the highest in the last year. At the same time, stablecoin reserves on Binance reached a historic high of $51 billion, which often signals a shift of capital into dollar assets and a wait for better conditions.
Altcoins under pressure, market looking for bottom
According to CryptoQuant, the inflow of Ether and altcoins is also growing, which has led many of them to return to bearish lows. Analysts at 10x Research confirm that Bitcoin’s tactical rebound continues, but key resistance lies at $92,000 and $101,000. Currently, the price is hovering around $86,400.
The market thus remains nervous—whales are selling, stablecoins are accumulating, and some altcoins are weakening again. A short-term rebound is not out of the question, but the path to new highs will depend on whether the market can absorb the pressure from large sales. The coming weeks will tell whether this is a correction or a larger change in sentiment.
