Crypto Whale News (9/9): Whale Sells Massively, BTC Threatened to Drop to $100,000?

Jakarta, Pintu News – In early September, there was a massive sell-off by a very large number of Bitcoin (BTC) holders, known as “whales”. They sold over $12.75 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC), raising fears of further price pressure. What impact will this have on the market?

Sales Wave by Whale

In the past month, whales have sold around 114,920 Bitcoin (BTC), which is the largest amount since July 2022. This massive selling is indicative of growing caution among large holders.

Crypto market analysts warn that this continued selling, along with historical bearish signals, could push the price of Bitcoin (BTC) below the psychological $100,000 level in the coming weeks.

Sales Related to the “Blood Moon” Phenomenon

Further analysis by a crypto analyst, Ted, attributes this sell-off to the “blood moon” phenomenon that occurred on Sunday. Since May 2021, every “blood moon” event has been followed by a market decline. This phenomenon, which has occurred four times since May 2021, is considered a bearish indicator for Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long-term Optimism

Despite short-term bearish tendencies, Bitcoin’s (BTC) long-term outlook remains strong. The cryptocurrency has only corrected about 13% from its mid-August peak high, which is a shallower drop compared to previous corrections.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) annualized moving average has increased from $52,000 a year ago to $94,000 today, showing a solid foundation under the recent volatility.

Decreased Interest in Institutional Purchases

Although the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) held by the company has reached a record 840,000 BTC in 2025, the report from CryptoQuant shows a more cautious approach to purchases.

Monthly purchases by the Strategy have decreased dramatically, from +134,000 in November 2024 to just 3,700 in August 2025. The average purchase size has also decreased significantly, indicating a more cautious sentiment among institutional investors.
