Bitfinex whales closing $BTC long positions may signal a potential Bitcoin rally, similar to previous cycles in 2024 and 2025.

Bitfinex whales have started closing their Bitcoin long positions, potentially signaling the start of another market rally.

This move comes after similar actions in October 2024 and April 2025, which led to sharp price increases. With Bitcoin consolidating around the $90,000 mark, the question is whether this pattern will play out again.

Cyclical Patterns in Bitcoin Long Positions

Bitfinex whales have started closing their long positions. The last time this happened, $BTC rallied by 35% in just 6 weeks! Bitcoin long positions on Bitfinex have shown consistent cycles of decline and recovery over the years. 

After each sharp drop in long positions, Bitcoin tends to recover, signaling renewed confidence in the market.

This cyclical pattern suggests that large investors adjust their positions based on market conditions, often leading to increased long positions after corrections.

Historically, these cycles indicate that whale behavior has a strong influence on Bitcoin’s price movements.

When whales liquidate long positions, it often triggers a price dip. However, after these dips, Bitcoin price stabilizes, and long positions start to rise again, hinting at a potential rebound.

The current decline in long positions mirrors previous downturns, suggesting that a recovery could follow.

If this cycle repeats, Bitcoin may be poised for a price increase. Many traders are closely watching the market, looking for signs that this upward trend will start once again.

Support and Resistance Levels for Bitcoin Long Positions

Bitcoin long positions on Bitfinex have clearly defined support and resistance zones. Support is typically found between 50-55 million contracts, where long positions bounce back after falling to this range.

This indicates that large holders view this level as a favorable entry point during market dips.

Resistance is found above 70 million contracts, where the market tends to reverse course. Once Bitcoin long positions reach this level, whales often sell off some of their holdings, causing the price to pull back.

This resistance suggests that the market is unable to break past these levels without further adjustments.

These support and resistance levels help traders predict future movements.

If long positions continue to stay within these ranges, Bitcoin may remain within a consolidation phase.

Breaking through resistance could trigger a new rally, while a drop below support would likely lead to further correction.

Whale Moves Hint at Upcoming Bitcoin Rally

TedPillows, a top market analyst, has been closing their long positions, adding to recent changes in the market.

The activity of large players like TedPillows often signals shifts in market sentiment, with their moves having an impact on Bitcoin’s price.

When such whales close positions, it usually indicates caution or a planned market adjustment.

TedPillows’ actions fit into a broader pattern of Bitcoin whale behavior. In past cycles, similar actions led to short-term price declines, followed by stronger rebounds.

This has led many analysts to watch TedPillows closely for signs of a possible market shift.

Whales like TedPillows hold enough influence to set trends in Bitcoin’s price movements. As long positions decrease, traders expect the price to stabilize or potentially drop.

However, if the trend reverses and whales begin to accumulate again, Bitcoin could see a renewed rally.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
