Large holders of bitcoin on the BitMEX exchange sold the crypto asset in large quantities, which put additional pressure on the exchange rate and led to a decrease in the cost of BTC to $7,800.
Starting from the second half of Sunday, more and more messages about large BTC sales began to appear on social networks. Data on Monday about large sales of bitcoin by “whales” on the BitMEX exchange explained the downward spiral of the BTC market price. On Monday, the price of bitcoin continued to lose support levels, falling to the mark of $7,800.
According to WhaleTrades, the very first of these sales turned out to be the largest — the cost of sold BTC was more than $21 million.
At the moment, the influx of offers for sale still maintains the Bitcoin exchange rate at $ 7,800. Trading volumes increased amid sharp volatility, exceeding $ 47 billion over the past 24 hours. Moreover, the “Index of fear and greed” ranges from 41 to 17 points, which corresponds to the level of “extreme fear.”
Despite the enthusiasm and resumption of BTC retail purchases in recent months, the market is again faced with the fact that the “whales” can easily direct prices and cause a panic. Fear is also compounded by the possibility of falling to much lower levels, down to $ 6,000. But with the participation of “whales,” the price can return to higher levels as quickly as sales decrease.
