Bitcoin’s price has once again turned bearish after briefly recovering to $94,000 on Monday. Notably, the cryptocurrency had shown signs of strength earlier this week following a period of decline, but the recovery was short-lived.
As of today, Bitcoin slipped below $90,000, marking a 1.8% decrease in the past 24 hours. According to CryptoQuant analyst Crazzyblockk, one key factor contributing to this downward movement appears to be increased selling pressure from large Bitcoin holders.
Whales and Large Holders Drive Selling Pressure on Binance
Crazzyblockk in his latest insight highlights how whales and other large investors on Binance are actively offloading BTC as prices rise. This trend suggests that experienced traders are taking advantage of market optimism to exit their positions, potentially limiting Bitcoin’s short-term upside potential.

The trend also comes at a time when whale to Binance flow sees a consistent increase. Crazzyblockk’s analysis of on-chain data from Binance particularly indicates that large Bitcoin holders—categorized as fish, sharks, and whales—are selling into market rallies.
The data reveals that the larger the holder, the more strategically they distribute their Bitcoin holdings. These entities account for an increasing share of daily sell-side activity on Binance, suggesting that they are actively shaping Bitcoin’s price movements.
As Bitcoin’s price trends upward, whale activity on Binance has intensified, with more BTC flowing into the exchange. The report highlights that while retail investors—often referred to as shrimps—have remained relatively inactive, whales and sharks are capitalizing on rising prices to take profits.
This consistent distribution from high-value holders has created sustained downward pressure, preventing Bitcoin from making a parabolic move higher.
Bitcoin Market Outlook: Can Accumulation Offset Whale Selling?
With large holders continuing to offload BTC, the risk remains that any further upside could trigger even more selling pressure, reinforcing resistance levels.
This dynamic means that Bitcoin’s price movement could remain constrained unless new accumulation from long-term investors or institutional buyers offsets the selling trend.
Crazzyblockk emphasizes that tracking Binance’s whale activity is crucial for understanding market direction. Since these large holders are not just participants but also price movers, their actions can provide insight into short-term market trends.
If whale selling slows and new accumulation picks up, Bitcoin could find support and regain momentum. However, if the current trend continues, further downside pressure remains a possibility.

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.
When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)
Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.
In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.
Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
