  • David Bailey, CEO of Nakamoto, shared that there are two major whales who are to leave the market before Bitcoin’s price can push upwards. According to him, they are holding back Bitcoin’s growth, noting that once they finish selling, the price could surge to $150,000.
  • Michael van de Poppe, an X analyst, highlighted that Bitcoin price is likely to hit its historically weak month.

Nakamoto CEO David Bailey has shared his perspective on Bitcoin’s recent price action, causing interesting debates among many traders and investors in the crypto space. According to him, two whales are the sole reason for Bitcoin’s price stagnancy.

Basically, he said that once these major players finish offloading their positions, the path could be open for Bitcoin to surge toward its highly anticipated $150,000 mark. So, so far, investors have kept Bitcoin from rising, and due to the significant amount of tokens they hold, what they do next will play a key role in whether the price can climb or if it will continue to drop.

How Bitcoin Whale Activities Move the Market


The knowledge of the fact that Bitcoin whales and big institutions are the ones who move and decide the fate of different tokens in the crypto market is an already established fact. In very understanding terms, every single move of price and activity that goes on in the ecosystem and backend of every token is decided by the whales and big institutions.

Recently, Tronweekly covered an article that briefly covered how the sale of a major whale caused the price of Bitcoin to drop by $4,000 and wiped out about $500 million worth of leveraged trades. This move further emphasizes the power these whales carry in deciding price movements.

It further even reinforces the narrative that until these large holders make their moves, the broader market often remains in a state of uncertainty, waiting to react to their next signal.

Bitcoin Price Prediction

Michael van de Poppe recently shared a post on X that Bitcoin is nearing its short-term price level, with September often being a tough month for the market. He mentioned that Bitcoin could possibly drop into the $100,000–$103,000 zone and noted the current monthly candle that is currently seen on the chart does not look strong.

In his view, it would be unlikely for Bitcoin to retest its all-time high soon, and he expects a fresh low this month before a rebound in the fourth quarter.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
