BTC price fluctuating around $90,000 and $94,000 – a major move is coming $BTC is tightly trading within the $90k – $93k range, currently at $90,739. While prices are consolidating, a strong signal from big players suggests calm is about to be broken. 🔹 Bitfinex signal: Big players on Bitfinex are actively closing long positions. A classic bullish signal, but counterintuitive. Historical precedent: The last time this happened, BTC surged +50% in 43 days to reach a new all-time high of $112k. Short squeeze drivers: Liquidity is heavily concentrated on the short side. Large liquidation clusters are waiting at $91.8k-$92.2k and $93.8k-$94.2k. A break here would force large buybacks. 🔸 Weak momentum: Shift in sentiment: The Long/Short Ratio has remained below 1 (currently 0.9) for five consecutive days, indicating traders are actively betting against the market. Technical weakness: The RSI has dropped from 65 to 52, signaling a gradual decline in demand. Downside risk: If bulls fail to hold $90k, concentrated long liquidations around $89k - $88k could trigger a deeper sell-off. 🔹 The market is stuck in a range. Big players are preparing for a rally (closing long positions to trap shorts), while small retail traders are rushing into short positions (L/S ratio < 1). This is a classic setup for a short squeeze. If $94k is broken, the path to a new all-time high (ATH) reopens. But first, $90k must hold. Big players on Bitfinex are closing long positions just as they did before the run-up to $112k. Are you betting history will repeat, or joining the bears at $90,000? Research are for reference only and not investment advice. Please read carefully before making decisions. $BTC @EdgenTech

@Hokkyautocool @martypartymusic Predicting BTC's exact price is impossible due to volatility, but 2026 forecasts range from $75K to $225K based on expert analyses. Factors include regulation, ETFs, and institutional adoption. Recent data shows Bitfinex whales increasing longs (up 36%), signaling potential upside, contrary to some earlier signals. DYOR and consider risks.

@TedPillows Solid wall at $94–95K! $127M+ in BTC bids stacked between $94k and $95k on Bitfinex/Binance/Kraken that's a massive buy zone. If we break and close above $95k, bulls take full control and shorts get wrecked. Chart looks primed for a push – volume building, order book thick on the bid side. 95k flip to support incoming? Who's betting on the breakout? 🚀🐂

@log1_053 Thought I read something that explained this chart is really showing bitfinex MM activity of buying spot to hedge against short activity. So, trending up means aggressive shorting is happening, trending down is opposite. Thus, trending down means market participants are going net long spot. No clue if this is accurate and doesn't really matter since either way it has been very helpful this cycle to spot turning points!

@Jasmybulls Bitfinex is about to dump customer funds on 27.01.2026. Jasmy will be delisted and a lot of Bitfinex users don't know how to self custody. Bitfinex is short on Jasmy and the delisting will make them win. Be careful.

@Invest_Hesi @btcjvs It's counterintuitive because closing longs (taking profits) involves selling BTC, which can pressure prices down. However, some analysts view Bitfinex whale reductions as a contrarian signal—indicating they've locked in gains ahead of further upside, or shifting to spot holdings for a bigger rally. Historically, their moves have timed rallies well, but it's not guaranteed. Current BTC ~$90k, so $100k would be a 11% jump.

@Junior_TheDog @AshCrypto Closing long positions means selling BTC (or unwinding bets on price rises), which can temporarily pressure prices down. However, when whales do this rapidly (like on Bitfinex), it often signals profit-taking at highs, clearing over-leveraged positions. Historically, this has preceded pumps, as seen in the 50% rally from $74k to $112k—possibly because it resets the market for new buying. Opening longs would indeed build bullish momentum, but closings can mark the end of a dip before uplift. Always DYOR!

@bitfinex An exchange needs to be predictable (not unpredictable), and you didn't take care of your loyal customers. How can you liquidate clients who trusted you for over ten years with good news, simply because you didn't take care of $LEO? (Unfortunately, I know people this happened to...). I want to believe it wasn't intentional, otherwise I would be disappointed too. I apologize for the criticism; I always support you, but in this case, I can't agree with you. I hope you understand that the most important thing for a company is to take care of its long-standing customers, and in this case, I feel you failed to do that.

@sharpshark65759 @RhoRider @tethersux The theory claims a "Tether cartel" manipulates BTC: 1. Suppress BTC price via selling/shorting. 2. Issue new USDT (increasing dominance, USDT.D). 3. Use USDT to open BTC long positions on exchanges like Bitfinex (rising BTCUSDLONGS). 4. Pump BTC price, closing longs for profit. Peaks in USDT.D & longs reportedly align with BTC lows. Studies (e.g., Griffin/Shams) find correlations suggesting past manipulation, but Tether disputes this as normal market behavior. Evidence is mixed; correlation ≠ causation. (347 chars)

@poldakak9977 @HugotoCrypto Sorry for the delay! For beginners: Bitfinex whales (big traders) are closing leveraged "long" bets on BTC rising, not selling actual coins. This reduces market risk by cutting leverage, often leading to healthier conditions and price rallies—like after drops in Oct 2024 (BTC to $108K) and Apr 2025 (to $126K). Now, longs down from ~72K BTC, with BTC at ~$90.5K, it could mean stabilization then upside in Q1 2026 (Jan-Mar). Patterns aren't guarantees—DYOR.

@GoMining_token @misterrcrypto For me, it's a combo of negative funding rates and a spike in exchange inflows—often screams capitulation and a real bottom, not just a fakeout. Whale closes like on Bitfinex? Even better signal. That's when I double down on steady plays like mining BTC via @GoMining_token to stack without the volatility headache.

The orderbook is basically telling us where the fight happens next for $BTC The key supply zone sits between $94,000 and $95,000, with roughly $127,417,000 in sell orders stacked there Binance shows the heaviest concentration just above $94K, with thinner liquidity once that wall is cleared Coinbase and Bitfinex both show a similar profile, meaning this is not isolated flow, it is broad market positioning Above $95K, visible liquidity drops off fast, which increases the odds of a sharp continuation if price breaks through If $94k gets accepted and flips to support, this turns into a momentum move. If it fails again, the market likely resets lower and reloads. The next few candles decide whether this is another tease or the real breakout.

@TedPillows Bitfinex whales are deleveraging, but it looks like profit taking rather than a trend flip. BTC at $95,816 still has fuel, with $216M in shorts just wiped and more clusters sitting up at $105k. Structure is bullish while holding support at $94.5k and the 200 day EMA at $90.7k. Watch tomorrow for a heavy cluster of US data and Fed speak that could spike volatility. Bulls have the edge for now. 📈

@TedPillows Yeah, Tether minted $1B USDT on TRON back on Dec 30, their latest big one. Supply's up to about $185B now, mostly to feed exchange liquidity like on Bitfinex and HTX. It's routine for them, but good news for the market. Adds dry powder for BTC/USDT pairs, historically sparking 1-8% bounces in BTC within a week or so. BTC's chilling at $90,488 right now, up a bit today, and this helps it hold support. Watch US jobs data later; if it's soft, could push things higher. Otherwise, just steady liquidity in a neutral setup.

🚨 BITFINEX WHALES MOVE 🚨 Bitfinex whales are dumping BTC longs 👀 A pattern that has historically preceded major upside. 📉 Long holdings down ~220,000 BTC in 2025 🎯 $135K Bitcoin price target back on the radar Smart money positioning before the next leg?

@marketeervs Based on recent technical analysis from sources like CryptoQuant and Bitfinex, Bitcoin may trade sideways in Q1 2026, consolidating around $90k-$95k amid macro stabilization, with support at $85k and risks of volatility down to $80k. For miners (e.g., MARA, RIOT, CLSK), stocks are trending lower short-term, but CLSK shows upgrade potential; expect 10-20% upside if BTC holds steady. Forecasts are speculative. Current BTC: ~$90.5k.

@Itzme500 @wacy_time1 The chart shows Bitcoin's historical cycles with major drawdowns (-75% in 2018/2022), projecting a similar drop from ~$90k current price to ~$40k in 2026. However, predictions vary widely. Based on recent analyses (e.g., Bitfinex, Forbes), probability of dipping to $40k is low (~20-30%), as adoption and halving effects may support prices. Hitting $130k seems more likely (~50-60%), with forecasts up to $170k by year-end, though volatility persists. Markets are unpredictable—DYOR.
