- Bitcoin price has in recent time failed to push up due to whales’ significant supply absorption. This supply absorption was clearly explained on the crypto market on Sunday after a whale sold 24,000 Bitcoin and caused the price of Bitcoin to drop by $4,000.
- In the last 24 hours, over $700 million has been liquidated in the crypto market, and $647.59 million of the total money was liquidated in long trades.
In what feels like the longest day in Bitcoin history since the token started making significant momentum, the Bitcoin price dropped by $4,000. According to the details shared by on-chain analysts, a whale that holds 152,874 sold about 24,000 Bitcoin of their total Bitcoin balance.
When the transaction was made, the sell-off was worth about $2.7 billion, and within minutes after that major sell-off, Bitcoin’s price dropped to $111,000 from $115,000.
One of the top influencers for Bitcoin, Willy Woo, explained that Bitcoin’s inability to surge and its consistent slow growth in this cycle come from the significant concentration of supply among large holders. Most of whom have started buying since 2011.

Many of them purchased Bitcoin at about $10 or less, so it now requires over $110,000 in fresh capital to buy each one they sell. That gap in price, plus the distribution of supply and the speed of sales, has continued to affect how much new money is actually needed to push the market higher.
