A certain whale opened a $20.8 million long position in BTC, but shortly after entering the trade, they were liquidated with just a 0.7% adverse price movement.

June 4 – Amid a sharp downturn in the crypto market, Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered Bank, noted that Bitcoin’s bottom is “almost in place” and its current price zone could present a long-awaited buying opportunity for investors. Kendrick highlighted that even with Bitcoin’s more than 22% slide over the last month, holdings in physical Bitcoin ETFs haven’t seen the massive, worrying outflows many feared. These holdings have stayed relatively stable since February, signaling that ETF investors’ holding base is far more resilient than anticipated. He attributes much of this recent dip to Strategy selling 32 Bitcoin (BTC). But drawing on historical patterns from late 2022, Strategy is poised to replenish its holdings on a far larger scale shortly – with repurchases expected to hit 10 to 100 times the amount it sold.

On June 4, Glassnode data showed that as Bitcoin dipped briefly to $61,300, the number of unrealized BTC holdings hit roughly 10.5 million—surpassing the 9.8 million BTC currently in a profitable state for the first time in this market cycle. Making up over half of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, this marks the first time in the current cycle that loss-making coins have outnumbered profit-making ones. Historical data indicates this metric has only emerged during deep bear market phases in Bitcoin’s history, and has typically aligned with key market bottoms. Similar instances occurred during the 2015, 2019, 2020, and 2022 bear markets, with these stretches lasting between one month and a full year. Meanwhile, Bitcoin touched its 200-week moving average at around $61,300—a critical long-term support level that held firm during previous bear cycles. Analysts warn that if BTC drops below the $60,000 psychological threshold, the next major support level will be near the realized price of ro

June 4. Decentralized crypto exchange Grvt announced the launch of Korean stock-based perpetual futures contracts, with its first batch covering Samsung, SK Hynix, and Hyundai.
