Bitcoin slipped 3% the last time this whale made a substantial deposit, is another decline on its way?
Bitcoin’s overall market state has been more than dire for the past several weeks, with the asset plummeting from over $90,000 on January 28 to its lowest position in over a year at $60,000 last Friday.
While this is a painful decline of its own, the broader market’s state has not improved much since then, and Lookonchain just published another potential sell signal.
You need to watch this whale!
Over the past 2 days, he has deposited 8,200 $BTC($559M) into #Binance.
Every time he deposits $BTC, the price drops.
Yesterday, I warned when he made a deposit — and soon after, $BTC dropped over 3%.https://t.co/8D2y9MbfFn pic.twitter.com/IyjYXvW8sx

The analytics company noted that the unknown whale had transferred 8,200 BTC (worth roughly $560 million) into Binance in the past 2 days alone.
Shortly after their previous deposit to the world’s largest exchange, the cryptocurrency’s price dipped yesterday by 3% within minutes, going from nearly $69,000 to $65,000.
In a subsequent post, Lookonchain added that the whale continued to transfer BTC to Binance, sending another batch of over 2,000 units with the likely intention to sell.
8,200 BTC to exchanges is not noise — it’s intent.
Large inflows often signal distribution or hedging.
Liquidity tells the story before price does. 👀📊
