Bitcoin Falls to $86K as Notable Whale Liquidates His $1.3 Billion BTC Assets

Bitcoin's price has dropped significantly as a long-time holder, Owen Gunden, sells his entire Bitcoin stash.

Bitcoin’s price has taken a significant downturn over the last few hours, plummeting to $86,000, a level not seen since April. Analysts indicate that this price drop has brought Bitcoin close to its primary support line.

The concerning news revolves around major whales, particularly Owen Gunden, a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community. Gunden has been liquidating his holdings, selling 11,000 BTC since October, which amounts to approximately $1.3 billion.

His most recent transaction involved a transfer of $230 million worth of Bitcoin to Kraken earlier today.

The behavior of Gunden is strikingly different from other whales who have been accumulating during this market dip, which has seen Bitcoin’s value slide from over $107,000 to $86,000 in less than 10 days.

Amidst this, traders are now focusing on support levels that could potentially halt this downward trend. Analyst CW pointed out a significant buying wall at $85,000, marking it as a crucial defense point.
