Bitcoin Whales Flee in Panic! 🐘💸

by

Bitcoin, ever the drama queen, has decided to show off its bullish side after a few weeks of dramatic volatility that had it cowering below the $100,000 mark. Meanwhile, new BTC whales-those intrepid souls who thought they were the next big thing-have taken a hit, proving that even in crypto, not all who wander are lost… just broke. 🐘💸

New Bitcoin Whales Break Under Pressure

One of Bitcoin’s most influential investor groups: newly formed whale addresses, who thought they were invincible, have taken a hit in a market where sentiment is still ambiguous. Bitcoin’s volatile swing in the past few weeks has now sent these key investors’ positions into severe losses, as the price drops below their entry levels. It’s like watching a toddler try to juggle flaming torches-entertaining, but ultimately tragic. 🔥👶

MorenoDV, a market expert and author, shared this crucial development in a quick-take post on the CryptoQuant platform after examining the Bitcoin Realized Profits by Whales metric. Specifically, this vital metric helps to determine whether these investors are capitulating (realized losses) or are distributing at a profit (realized gains). Or, as I like to call it, “the crypto equivalent of a therapist session.” 🧠

Following the investigation, the expert found that Bitcoin is currently experiencing one of the most aggressive capitulations of the year by new whale entrants. Such a development indicates that the cohort is heavily exiting their positions under pressure, a sign of fear or a dramatic shift in attitude. It’s like watching a group of people sprinting out of a burning building… but the fire is just a 5% dip. 🚨

Data shows that the new whale investors have realized more than $1.3 billion in losses over the past 6 days, signifying one of 2025’s most aggressive selling campaigns. With significant amounts of BTC being sold at a loss, speculations are whether this is an early signal of deeper weakness in the crypto asset’s short-term price outlook. Or, as I see it, “the market’s way of saying, ‘You’re not as smart as you think.’” 😂

What’s Driving The Heightened Selling Pressure Of The Cohort?

According to the expert, sustained losses of this magnitude are indicative of forced selling or panic-driven exits. Meanwhile, this is often caused by the loss of aversion of late entrants or the unwinding of leveraged positions. Given the current bullish state and resilience of the BTC market, MorenoDV stated that this event is a remarkable one. “Remarkable,” he said, “like how a toddler can accidentally set a house on fire.” 🔥

Despite witnessing one of the biggest capitulation waves among new whales this year, the price of Bitcoin has held between the $100,000 and $105,000 support range so far. In the past, such periods of realized loss concentration have persistently triggered volatility spikes. These spikes either mark local bottoms or lead to extended deleveraging, depending on the market liquidity conditions. It’s like a game of chess… but the pieces keep falling off. 🏰♟️

Specifically, the data suggests pain among short-term large holders. However, the capability of the market to absorb this pressure without breaking down may point to underlying demand or accumulation by stronger hands. In the meantime, the expert declares that the upcoming days will help gauge whether this was the last shakeout or a sign of far deeper structural stress. “Stay tuned,” he said, “or just sell now and cry later.” 😭

Providing more data on the trend, CryptoQuant highlighted that Bitcoin has been below the average cost basis of new whales positioned at the $110,800 level since October 28, triggering significant realized losses. The chart displays realized losses of $286.4 million, $90.7 million, $107.5 million, $515.1 million, and $5.1 million on November 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively. It’s like watching a bank account drain while sipping a $10 coffee. ☕💸
