@Alther 1 December 2025 more from that month

Whales appear to be pressing Bitcoin’s price down, draining retail liquidity while quietly rebuilding their positions ahead of late-December. The move looks subtle on the chart, but the intention feels sharp: shake out weak hands, reset leverage, and reopen the runway for a cleaner rally later in the year. The interesting part is the timing. Market depth is thinner heading into year-end, making it easier for large wallets to steer momentum. If this pressure continues, the current dip isn’t weakness—it’s staging. A market that bends this much often snaps back harder once the accumulation phase is done.
