The Bitcoin whale known as &#8220;195DJ&#8221; sold <strong>31,151 BTC<\/strong> since mid-August, worth around $3.4 billion. The funds were rotated into Ethereum, pushing Bitcoin\u2019s price below the $111,500 support. This selling pressure dragged prices closer to $107,000.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite the heavy sell-off, the whale still holds around 50,000 BTC. At current prices, that amounts to nearly $5.4 billion. This indicates a short-term hedging strategy rather than a complete exit. At the same time, the whale\u2019s long-term confidence in <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong> remains intact.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CryptoQuant data shows the BTC was not converted into stablecoins but sent to Hyperliquid. Analyst JA Maartunn confirmed that these assets were swapped directly into Ethereum. Moreover, the fact that the address belongs to a well-known, long-standing investor made the move even more significant.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Historical Whale Activity and Market Impact<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Similar whale patterns emerged in past cycles. In both 2017 and 2021, gradual whale sales marked distribution phases that capped rallies. In 2020, certain whales shifted into ETH before the DeFi boom, while Bitcoin entered a consolidation period. This rotation allowed <a href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/?s=ethereum\"><strong>Ethereum<\/strong><\/a> to outperform.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The latest whale shift reflects a similar outlook. Ethereum may capture short-term momentum while Bitcoin struggles to hold its ground. Meanwhile, gold prices surged to record highs as investors sought safer havens. U.S. monetary policy uncertainty continues to weigh on overall risk sentiment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On the technical side, Bitcoin charts display a golden cross signal. Under normal conditions, this is a bullish indicator. However, aggressive whale selling is overshadowing the signal. In addition, the move into Ethereum strengthens a cautious market tone.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the long run, this is not a total exit from Bitcoin. The whale still holds 50,000 BTC, underscoring long-term conviction. Yet, short-term capital flow favors Ethereum. This rotation signals a temporary momentum shift rather than a structural change in market dominance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
