Bitcoins Stability Under Threat Due to Selling Pressure from Whales

Whales intensify sales and put pressure on BTC price.
High leverage increases volatility risks.
Caution is recommended in the face of electoral uncertainties.
The current cryptocurrency market scenario highlights a critical moment for Bitcoin, especially due to the intensification of traders’ monitoring of its price fluctuations. Recent observations of on-chain data indicate an alarming growth in Bitcoin leveraged positions, reaching levels never seen before, which raises concerns about possible high volatility in BTC.
This anxiety is amplified by the massive use of leverage by whales, who appear to be aggressively dumping their positions in the market. The motivation for such actions may be in the search for liquidity, a worrying sign that could influence downward pressure on the price of Bitcoin. This reality is corroborated by the dominant trading volume of large investors, who control more than 90% of the market in high-risk situations, in contrast to retail traders who frequently face liquidations.

The recommendation is to avoid excessive leverage in order to protect capital against unpredictable volatility and preserve resources in the face of possible adverse price movements.
