A Bitcoin OG whale made another big trade by selling 3,000 BTC on the Hyperliquid exchange for 363.87 million USDC. The trade, at the current price of $121,291 per Bitcoin, is an extension of the trend of the whale who made a massive switch to Ethereum last month.

The Bitcoin OG who previously sold 35,991 $BTC($4.43B now) to buy 886,371 $ETH($3.99B now) just sold 3,000 $BTC for 363.87M $USDC today — at an average price of $121,291.https://t.co/zQrJq8RUKyhttps://t.co/FwSjoQL38ohttps://t.co/bjQTd4Gg0Shttps://t.co/LTiJHW049j pic.twitter.com/onb0v5h7J1

This specific whale first hit the news at the end of August when it exchanged 35,991 BTC, which is now worth approximately 4.43 billion, with 886,371 ETH, of which it is presently worth approximately 3.99 billion.

This happened at a 0.0406 ETH/BTC rate on Hyperliquid, as it anticipated the growth potential of Ethereum amidst increased institutional attention to its ecosystem. 

The trades, monitored by on-chain analysts like Lookonchain, showed that the whale believed in the altcoins’ performance when Ethereum’s price compared to Bitcoin’s had risen by 8% since April.

Analysts speculate that this may serve as insurance against short-term volatility or involve holding stablecoins in anticipation of new opportunities, especially following the release of global economic data, including interest rate information.

The charts of Bitcoin are showing a somewhat confusing and strong resilience image. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 63, which indicates moderate strength to buy the asset without going into an overbought range of above 70. 

The 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) from a weekly perspective is currently at 111,700, which is significantly lower than the prevailing price and provides a solid support level.

To gain upwards confirmation, analysts assert that Bitcoin must fill and stabilize above the $124,700 level; otherwise, analysts say it will retest the $119,000 level, where it has strong support.

Today, the price declined by 1.12 percent, but this week the cryptocurrency increased by 5.75, which indicates that it is able to endure significant market volatility.

A lesson to the current crypto world is the current $364 million trade of Bitcoin OG in managing its portfolio, which shows the need to be careful when taking risks in trading risky assets.
