Latest exchange data from Binance shows a recent dip in whale activity, suggesting BTC likely avoided another massive sell-off.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Defends $112,000 Against Whale Sell-Off<\/h2>\n<p>According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor Arab Chain, recent data from the Binance crypto exchange shows that there was a sudden spike in whale activity on the exchange on September 7, when the BTC: Exchange Whale Ratio surged to 0.55.<\/p>\n<p>However, this surge was quickly followed by a decline in the metric, as the BTC: Exchange Whale Ratio tumbled to 0.28, on September 8. However, the price remained stable around $112,500, suggesting that whale movements were short-lived and did not lead to a sell-off in BTC.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-818994 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-09-at-10.35.36-AM.png?resize=1974%2C1104\" alt=\"btc whale\" width=\"1974\" height=\"1104\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The CryptoQuant analyst remarked that the fall in whale pressure toward the end of the period is a positive short-term signal. In essence, the likelihood of a sharp price correction driven by whale sell-offs on Binance is now significantly reduced. Arab Chain added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The frequent whale fluctuations in late August and early September highlight that major players are still moving large volumes &#8211; meaning risks remain, and the market could be caught off guard by a sudden move if substantial exchange inflows are converted into market orders.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the analyst cautioned that the relationship is not always absolute. Although the rise in the metric has often been associated with a fall in the price of BTC, not every spike has led to a clear decline in price.<\/p>\n<p>As seen in the above chart, there have been instances of whale activity surging beyond 0.5 for multiple days &#8211; accompanied by positive net inflows to exchanges. Arab Chain noted that such dynamics may lead to a failure to maintain the $112,000 level, and possibly trigger a drop to $108,000.<\/p>\n<p>Historical data for September shows that the beginning of the month is typically quiet in terms of whale pressure on Binance, except for the occasional quick jump. While this offers a safer environment for a gradual rise, it also gives whales a chance to exert pressure on the market, especially if the overall demand is weak.<\/p>\n<h2>Is BTC Yet To Hit Its Peak?<\/h2>\n<p>While BTC is currently trading roughly 10% below its latest all-time high (ATH) of $124,128, some crypto experts opine that the flagship cryptocurrency is yet to hit its peak for this market cycle.<\/p>\n<p>In recent analysis, Bitcoin researcher Sminston predicted that BTC may top out anywhere between $200,000 &#8211; $290,000 sometime in 2026. At press time, BTC trades at $112,639, down 0.1% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-818996 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/bitcoin_125e85.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C563\" alt=\"bitcoin\" width=\"860\" height=\"563\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) continues to defend the $112,000 support level following days of tepid price action, unable to give a clear indication about the potential direction of its next move.
