Yesterday Saw the Largest Whale Movement in Bitcoin in Recent Times: Here’s What They Did
According to data from cryptocurrency analysis platform CryptoOnchain, yesterday's profit realization in Bitcoin was recorded as the largest daily selling wave since February 2025, with approximately $4 billion.
This amount was one of the highest levels of the year, excluding the extraordinary profit realization that occurred on July 4th, which approached $9 billion.
According to the data, this massive selling pressure came mainly from whales:
- Süper balinalar (>10.000 BTC): 2.17 milyar dolar
- Big whales (1,000-10,000 BTC): $1.25 billion
- Other whales (100-1,000 BTC): $495 million
CryptoOnchain noted that this move suggests that large, long-term investors are capitalizing on recent price increases and making substantial profits. This type of selling typically occurs at local peaks and can signal a short-term correction or consolidation.
The statement also noted that signals that Bitcoin is shifting from “strong hands to weak hands” could exacerbate market fragility. Experts point out that while this selling wave may not be the start of a long-term downtrend, it serves as a significant warning for short-term investors. Closely monitoring the movements of these whale groups going forward is crucial for predicting market direction.

Fed Voting Member Harker: Fighting Inflation Requires Faster, More Frequent Small Rate Adjustments, Be Vigilant Against Inflation Expectations Becoming Entrenched
Cleveland Federal Reserve President Loretta Mester believes that inflation pressures have spread beyond the energy sector, with AI investments and tariffs driving up costs. To prevent high inflation from becoming entrenched in the economy, she suggests that the Federal Reserve should consider smaller, quicker, and more frequent rate adjustments, rather than waiting for inflation pressures to accumulate and then taking larger actions. She did not explicitly support an interest rate hike in October, emphasizing policy transparency: explaining the response mechanism does not equate to committing to a specific rate path.
Will the US cancel 20-year Treasury bonds? BNP Paribas: It may trigger market panic; Citibank: Positioning 20-year bonds to outperform 10-year bonds
There are market rumors that the U.S. Treasury is considering cutting back or canceling the issuance of 20-year Treasury bonds, which were reinstated in 2020. The yield on 20-year bonds has long been higher than both 10-year and 30-year bonds, resulting in a "hump" in the yield curve and higher financing costs. The market is closely watching this Friday’s routine survey questionnaire, as well as whether a clear signal will be released in the quarterly refunding statement on November 4. Citi suggests positioning in advance, but BNP Paribas warns that such a move could be interpreted as a panic signal that policy tools have been exhausted.
