Bitcoin Whale Buys $221M as Macro Signals Stay Cautious

Fresh wallets moved about 2,509 BTC from FalconX in a single day, while macro charts kept the market debate focused on timing. At the same time, a separate dominance chart showed Bitcoin near resistance as some analysts pointed to a possible altcoin shift.

Whale-linked wallets buy about 2,509 BTC from FalconX in 24 hours

Three newly created Bitcoin wallets bought about 2,509 BTC worth roughly $221 million over the past 24 hours, according to a post by Coin Bureau that cited FalconX-linked transfers. The activity appeared as three large inflows from a FalconX hot wallet into separate destination addresses, suggesting one buyer split the purchases across multiple wallets.

Screenshots shared with the post showed three near-identical transfers of about 836 BTC each, recorded within the same day and priced around $73 million per transfer in the feed. In total, those three tranches add up to roughly 2,509 BTC, matching the figure Coin Bureau reported.

Still, wallet creation and transfer patterns do not confirm the buyer’s identity. Large desks and brokers can move coins for clients, and the same wallet structure can reflect custody setup, internal rebalancing, or settlement flows rather than a single trader’s directional bet.

Chart links Bitcoin price to ISM PMI as post argues bull phase has not started

A chart shared by CryptosRus compared Bitcoin’s long term price trend with U.S. business cycles tracked by the ISM Purchasing Managers’ Index, arguing the biggest Bitcoin rallies tend to align with expansions in the broader economy rather than the halving cycle alone. The post said the current phase has not yet matched prior periods that preceded sharp upside moves.

The graphic showed Bitcoin’s price in the top panel and ISM PMI levels in the bottom panel, with a dashed 50 line that typically separates expansion from contraction. It also marked prior slowdowns with vertical shaded bands and highlighted a recent window on the right side with a green outline, where PMI readings hovered below 50 while Bitcoin held near the upper end of its recent range.

CryptosRus wrote that Bitcoin’s largest rallies “don’t happen just because of halvings” and instead arrive when the business cycle shifts into a stronger phase, which the post said does not follow a perfect four year schedule. The framing points to macro conditions as a key driver alongside crypto specific catalysts.

The chart itself does not prove causation, and the post did not provide a statistical test for the relationship. Still, it reflects a common macro narrative in crypto markets that links risk asset performance to shifts in growth, liquidity, and manufacturing activity captured by PMI data.

Bitcoin dominance nears resistance as analyst points to possible altcoin rotation

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market value pushed into a long running resistance zone on a two week chart, as an analyst on X said the setup could signal a rotation toward altcoins. The post, shared by el crypto prof, argued that Bitcoin dominance has struggled to break higher from similar levels in prior cycles.

The chart showed BTC dominance climbing back toward the upper band of its range and stalling near a horizontal ceiling that has capped several peaks. It also marked earlier periods labeled “Mini Altseason” in 2019 and 2020, followed by a larger “Altseason 2021” area after dominance rolled over from that resistance region.

In the current cycle, the chart highlighted a large boxed window labeled “Altseason 2025 2026,” while recent candles sat just below the resistance line. The analyst wrote that “BTC Dominance is facing strong resistance here” and said “2026 will be the year of Altcoins,” framing the move as overdue after a long wait.

Dominance charts, however, do not confirm an altcoin rally on their own. Bitcoin dominance can fall because altcoins rise, but it can also drop if stablecoin market caps expand faster than Bitcoin, or if data sources change which tokens count toward the total market. Even so, traders often track dominance levels as a simple way to gauge whether capital is concentrating in Bitcoin or spreading across the broader market.

SHIB Price Drops as Leadership Concerns Grow

SHIB Price Drops as Leadership Concerns Grow

The post SHIB Price Drops as Leadership Concerns Grow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shiba Inu investors uneasy as Kusama’s silence fuels leadership concerns. SHIB slid 13% in three days, retracing from $0.00001484 to $0.00001305. Shibarium exploit and Kusama’s absence have weighed on investor trust. Shiba Inu investors are voicing concerns about the project’s long-term direction as leadership uncertainty and slow ecosystem progress erode confidence.  The token, which rallied from its meme-coin origins to become the second-largest meme asset by market cap, counts more than 1.5 million holders worldwide. But as SHIB matures, the gap between early hype and current delivery has widened.  The project’s transition into an “ecosystem coin” with spin-off projects and Shibarium, its layer-2 network, once raised expectations. Analysts now point to internal challenges as the main factor holding SHIB back from fulfilling that potential. Kusama’s Silence Adds to Instability Central to the debate is the role of Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu’s pseudonymous lead developer. Investors are concerned about the intermittent disappearance of the project’s lead developer, who repeatedly takes unannounced social media breaks.  For instance, Kusama went silent on X for over a month before resurfacing this week amid growing speculation that he had abandoned the Shiba Inu project.  Kusama returned shortly after the Shibarium bridge suffered an exploit worth around $3 million. However, he did not directly address the issue but only reassured Shiba Inu community members of his commitment to advancing the project.  Although most community members didn’t complain about Kusama’s anonymity in the project’s initial stages, his recent behavior has raised concerns. Many are beginning to develop trust issues, particularly because nobody could reveal the SHIB developer’s identity for the past five years. He has conducted all communications under pseudonyms. SHIB Price Action Reflects Sentiment Shift Market reaction has mirrored the doubts. SHIB, which spiked 26% at the start of September, has since reversed. Over the last…
