Bitcoin Slides 5% Below $65,000 as Whale Selling Intensifies and Recent Buyers Realize Losses

6 days ago7 min read

Bitcoin dropped 5% on Monday, falling below the $65,000 support level that was previously considered solid. Large holders, commonly known as whales, have been actively selling in what appears to be a distribution phase rather than accumulation.This has left recent buyers—many of whom entered near $70,000—facing unrealized losses. The sell-off coincides with rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and ongoing uncertainty around U.S. interest rate policy.Approximately $200 million in leveraged positions were liquidated quickly. Historically, such corrections have filtered out weaker participants, while longer-term investors view lower prices as buying opportunities.Inflows of stablecoins to exchanges have increased, suggesting that some capital is being positioned for potential dips. Bitcoin is currently stabilizing around $67,000, but analysts caution that a test of $60,000 is possible if macroeconomic conditions worsen. At that level, deeper accumulation by institutional and retail investors would likely begin.
