Bitcoin’s price has once again turned bearish after briefly
recovering to $94,000 on Monday. Notably, the cryptocurrency had
shown signs of strength earlier this week following a period of
decline, but the recovery was short-lived. As of today, Bitcoin
slipped below $90,000, marking a 1.8% decrease in the past 24
hours. According to CryptoQuant analyst Crazzyblockk, one key
factor contributing to this downward movement appears to be
increased selling pressure from large Bitcoin holders. Related

Bigger Bull Run Whales and Large Holders Drive Selling Pressure on
Binance Crazzyblockk in his latest insight highlights how whales
and other large investors on Binance are actively offloading BTC as
prices rise. This trend suggests that experienced traders are
taking advantage of market optimism to exit their positions,
potentially limiting Bitcoin’s short-term upside potential. Whale

(@cryptoquant_com) March 6, 2025 The trend also comes at a time
when whale to Binance flow sees a consistent increase.
Crazzyblockk’s analysis of on-chain data from Binance particularly
indicates that large Bitcoin holders—categorized as fish, sharks,
and whales—are selling into market rallies. The data reveals that
the larger the holder, the more strategically they distribute their
Bitcoin holdings. These entities account for an increasing share of
daily sell-side activity on Binance, suggesting that they are
actively shaping Bitcoin’s price movements. As Bitcoin’s price
trends upward, whale activity on Binance has intensified, with more
BTC flowing into the exchange. The report highlights that while
retail investors—often referred to as shrimps—have remained
relatively inactive, whales and sharks are capitalizing on rising
prices to take profits. This consistent distribution from
high-value holders has created sustained downward pressure,
preventing Bitcoin from making a parabolic move higher. Bitcoin
Market Outlook: Can Accumulation Offset Whale Selling? With large
holders continuing to offload BTC, the risk remains that any
further upside could trigger even more selling pressure,
reinforcing resistance levels. This dynamic means that Bitcoin’s
price movement could remain constrained unless new accumulation
from long-term investors or institutional buyers offsets the
selling trend. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bullish Signal: $900

tracking Binance’s whale activity is crucial for understanding
market direction. Since these large holders are not just
participants but also price movers, their actions can provide
insight into short-term market trends. If whale selling slows and
new accumulation picks up, Bitcoin could find support and regain
momentum. However, if the current trend continues, further downside
pressure remains a possibility. Featured image created with DALL-E,
