The rapid pump of Bitcoin in this wave seems to be a market rebound on the surface, but there may be deeper hidden factors behind it.



According to on-chain data monitoring, a large-scale BTC buying spree has been unfolding over the past 10 hours. The players involved are quite extravagant —

A mysterious giant whale smashed 15,281 BTC.
A leading exchange bought 7,956 coins.
Another well-known trading platform added 2,779 coins.
There are other institutions following up with 5,753 coins.
The quantitative trading team acted with 2,622 coins.

A total of over 34,000 BTC, worth nearly $2.5 billion. What does this number mean? Such a concentrated and large-scale purchase in a short period of time has exceeded the scope that "market consensus" or "retail investors banding together" can explain. It feels more like a carefully organized joint operation.

This lineup is quite interesting - it includes market-making activities from exchanges, established quantitative firms, and also some unidentified large players. This combination usually indicates that it's not just a simple bullish outlook for the market; there must be more complex calculations behind it. It could be a joint accumulation, playing a short squeeze game, or even market protection actions.

The short-term effect is obvious: prices are rapidly pushed up, and a short squeeze market appears. But how long can this last? The key depends on whether there is continued capital to follow up. If not, after the pump, it is very likely to encounter profit-taking, and the market can retreat as quickly as it came.

For ordinary retail investors, this type of market driven by large funds is a double-edged sword. Entry is quick, and exit is also quick; if one is not careful, they become the last buyer. Those who already hold positions may consider gradually exiting to lock in profits; for those still observing, it might be worth waiting a bit longer to see if this upward trend can stabilize before deciding whether to follow in.

The methods of these Large Investors are too obvious. They think they can stabilize the market by pouring in 2.5 billion USD? I doubt it. Let's wait and see if the subsequent funds follow. Otherwise, this pump is just digging a pit for us. I'm numb; it's better to continue Mining, much more reliable than watching the market. I'm afraid this wave will again make us suckers to be played for suckers; retail investors really can't afford to mess with it. In the game of big funds, it's safer for us to be bystanders.

Wow, 34,000 BTC, there must be a story behind this, it doesn't feel like a game that retail investors can afford to play.

Fellow villagers, come and buy Bitcoin! Last week, Old Wang, who sweeps the streets in our village, bought Bitcoin and has already gotten rich.
