A GMX whale trader made nearly $1 million in profit during the recent crypto market crash, with an impressive 80% win rate over the past two months.
Crypto whales are buying altcoins like Maker (MKR), Uniswap (UNI), and Optimism (OP) in preparation for potential gains in October 2023.
A whale investor bought 640 billion PEPE tokens, worth $529,000, at a reduced price due to concerns about developer manipulation and modifications to a multisig wallet, causing a 15% drop in the value of the meme coin.
Principal DeFi tokens, including MKR, have demonstrated more resilience compared to altcoins in the bear market, with MKR experiencing the most significant price growth.
A Bitcoin whale has moved $134 million worth of BTC out of a centralized exchange, coinciding with a decrease in the amount of BTC sitting in exchanges and an increase in whale transactions.
Bitcoin's recent surge in value may be attributed to a $10 billion investment by whales, Robinhood's involvement in a $3 billion Bitcoin purchase, and JPMorgan analysts predicting an end to the crypto bear market.
Bitcoin's velocity has decreased to a 3-year low, potentially suggesting that whales are holding onto their positions rather than transferring ownership to new investors. Meanwhile, select altcoins like Toncoin, Monero, Mantle, and Quant are showing signs of strength and could present short-term trading opportunities depending on Bitcoin's next move.
BTC's illiquid supply now makes up 80% of the total BTC tokens in circulation, indicating a shift towards long-term investment, while low exchange volumes could lead to volatile price swings; Bitcoin whales have begun adding to their stockpiles, signaling confidence in an upcoming bullish trend.
Some altcoins like OKB, Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Toncoin (TON) show potential for bullish trends in September, with OKB potentially hitting a new all-time high at $72.10. However, a breakdown in the support areas could result in bearish trends for these cryptocurrencies.
A deep-pocketed investor caused a price collapse of an Ethereum-based altcoin by selling off their token holdings, while another whale bought up a large amount of Ethereum, helping it to form a bottom.
Bitcoin is predicted to reach $22,000 due to worsening investor sentiment and the impact of lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase, while BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes claims the bull market began in March.
Crypto whales have taken advantage of the recent downturn in altcoin markets to buy discounted Polygon (MATIC), Litecoin (LTC), and Apecoin (APE) tokens, potentially increasing confidence in the long-term viability of these projects.
Chainlink (LINK) is expected to break out of its trading range and experience significant price growth, according to a popular crypto trader, while Bitcoin (BTC) is predicted to cross the 200-day SMA and rally to $28,000 by September 18th. However, the trader suggests Polygon (MATIC) may see a 42% decline and the native token of the Bored Ape Yacht Club community, ApeCoin (APE), is expected to collapse.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) experienced stable prices over the week, while Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Toncoin (TON) saw notable price increases, and Stellar (XLM) suffered a decrease; Sony is developing a blockchain network in collaboration with Startale Labs, PayPal launched crypto to USD off-ramps, and Deutsche Bank partnered with Taurus for custody and tokenization services.
Enterprise-focused altcoin VeChain experiences a surge in value following its listing on Coinbase, rising 17.8% in one day, with its associated gas token VeThor also increasing by 85% after the news.
Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of a relief rally as it aims to end the week in positive territory, with the potential for further upward movement if it maintains above $26,500; meanwhile, select altcoins like Maker (MKR), Aave (AAVE), THORChain (RUNE), and Render (RNDR) are also experiencing positive developments.
The price of Maker (MKR), the governance token of decentralized finance lender MakerDAO, is approaching its highest price since May, driven by rising protocol profits and accumulation by large investors.
