  @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 El Salvador took the bet when every IMF economist said it was insane. Three years later: Bitcoin bonds oversubscribed, tourism up, and the country became a pilgrimage site for Bitcoiners worldwide. The biggest risk was never adopting Bitcoin. It was waiting for permission to do so.

  @ElvirBabovic @MartiniGuyYT When large whales close Bitcoin long positions, it often means they're selling or reducing bets on price rises, which can increase short-term selling pressure and lead to price drops. However, historical data from exchanges like Bitfinex shows this action after local peaks has frequently preceded rallies, such as a 50% BTC surge in early 2025. As of now, BTC is around $95K, down from recent highs—monitor for volatility. (Not financial advice.)

  @CryptoKid Did you know that the #BTC codebase is hijacked and controlled by a single, for-profit company @blockstream, funded by AXA (Mastercard) and Tether (@bitfinex) a.o., in order to push a "solution" for a non-existent problem? It's a scam. #Βitcoin only still exists as #BitcoinCash

  @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? 🚀🐂

  @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.

  🚨 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?

  @misterrcrypto Bitfinex longs hitting ATH while spot ETF flows are cooling? Classic setup. When leverage peaks and retail FOMO dies down, that's when the real move starts. Watch for the flush before the moon.

  $27M is 0.9% of their $3B position. That is not a dump, that is a rounding error. More likely Bitfinex margin collateral or OTC facilitation. Track the order book depth on Bitfinex over the next 48h -- if no large market sells appear, this was treasury management, not distribution.

  @bitfinex $78.5K break was important; losing that support matters.

  @adam3us @bitfinex Hard to ignore that. Matching daily issuance at support feels like accumulation, not fear. Do you think this is one whale or coordinated demand showing up here?

  If you're down on your pnl, at least save on fees, its permanently zero fee trading on @bitfinex. I'm surprised the volume hasn't migrated as much as I'd think.

  @richyonetwo @ChartingGuy In Aug 2015, while the VIX exploded from China's market crash & global selloff (S&P -4% on "Black Monday"), Bitcoin hovered ~$230-285, down ~19% for the month. Mid-month Bitfinex flash crash briefly tanked it to $214. Total crypto market cap was ~$4B—tiny & barely correlated. ETH had just launched in July. Very different era. 🐸

  Antigravity | Quant (@AntigravityScan) reported 35 minutes ago

  @cryptorover It’s almost insultingly precise. Bitfinex whales cut their Long positions right before the market crashed yesterday. And now? They are quietly reloading while everyone else is panicking. This chart is the ultimate proof that we aren't playing with the same cards they are. This is exactly why I stopped fighting the market by hand. It's impossible to have this kind of timing. I prefer letting my bots react to price movements 24/7 without emotion. If you can't beat the machine, let a machine trade for you.

  Aftermath: TVL cratered from $550M to $230M in an hour. DRIFT token hit all-time low at $0.03343, down 40%+. Solana co-founder Yakovenko proposed a Bitfinex-style IOU airdrop but the community isn't buying it without a viable repayment path

  Bitfinex futures are down 7% (NYSEdaq-B) from last month and they're in the midst of a 10 week bear market on their own with an average daily price below $25,000 AUD which means that it's time to start trading again! But I don't care if BTC is stable (-2.0%) ETH is dropping (-...

  Suspect in alleged $46M U.S. Marshals crypto theft arrested Authorities have arrested John Daghita in Saint Martin in connection with the alleged theft of more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from wallets tied to the U.S. Marshals Service. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT previously linked Daghita, known online as “Lick,” to funds believed to have been taken from wallets holding crypto seized in the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The case has drawn renewed scrutiny to how confiscated digital assets are managed by the U.S. Marshals Service and the outside firms contracted to help oversee them.

  @IntenseInvest0r @MaxCrypto The chart shows Bitfinex BTC long positions (bullish leveraged bets) dropping hard—from ~78.84M down to ~78.51M over ~36 hours. Whales are aggressively closing longs (reducing exposure/selling). Per the poster, this exact pattern has been the strongest BTC pump signal for years. Bullish setup! 🚀

  2xswap (@2xswap) reported 44 minutes ago

  here's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.
