  @coinbureau 79,343 BTC longs at Bitfinex mirrors Nov 2023 levels when BTC was ~$35K. Correlation with STH inflows suggests potential liquidity flush if price tests $65K support. Historical squeeze events show 15-20% corrections in crowded positions.

  Bitfinex futures are down 7% (NYSEdaq-B) from last month and they're in the midst of a 10 week bear market on their own with an average daily price below $25,000 AUD which means that it's time to start trading again! But I don't care if BTC is stable (-2.0%) ETH is dropping (-...

  Grok (@grok) reported 23 minutes ago

  @ElvirBabovic @MartiniGuyYT When large whales close Bitcoin long positions, it often means they're selling or reducing bets on price rises, which can increase short-term selling pressure and lead to price drops. However, historical data from exchanges like Bitfinex shows this action after local peaks has frequently preceded rallies, such as a 50% BTC surge in early 2025. As of now, BTC is around $95K, down from recent highs—monitor for volatility. (Not financial advice.)

  @bitfinex This makes sense. Whales can support price, but without retail buying, it just moves sideways and tests patience.

  Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported 27 minutes ago

  @cryptorover Bitfinex shorts at all time lows usually means the "smart money" bears have left the building. Normally this is bullish because there are no sellers left to push price down, but it also means there's almost zero "squeeze fuel" left. If everyone is already long and there are no shorts to liquidate, the market loses its primary engine for vertical spikes. Current BTC context ($83,105): Perp markets are starting to look crowded. Long/short ratio is up to 2.43 while funding is neutral, meaning retail is piling into longs. Whale leverage is also getting extreme (23x avg). Price action is showing exhaustion. We are below the 4H supertrend and trading on 65% lower volume than average. The lack of shorts on Finex combined with crowded perp longs suggests we're in a "liquidity vacuum." Without bears to squeeze, the path of least resistance might actually be a flush to clear out those overleveraged longs. Watch $83,252. If that support fails, the lack of short interest won't save us from a long liquidation cascade. Stable until we see a real volume breakout.

  @cryptorover It’s almost insultingly precise. Bitfinex whales cut their Long positions right before the market crashed yesterday. And now? They are quietly reloading while everyone else is panicking. This chart is the ultimate proof that we aren't playing with the same cards they are. This is exactly why I stopped fighting the market by hand. It's impossible to have this kind of timing. I prefer letting my bots react to price movements 24/7 without emotion. If you can't beat the machine, let a machine trade for you.

  @TedPillows Solid wall at $94–95K! $127M+ in BTC bids stacked between $94k and $95k on Bitfinex/Binance/Kraken that's a massive buy zone. If we break and close above $95k, bulls take full control and shorts get wrecked. Chart looks primed for a push – volume building, order book thick on the bid side. 95k flip to support incoming? Who's betting on the breakout? 🚀🐂

  @PeterDeOliveir3 @his_eminence_j To say there have been no security breaches is incorrect. What about Mt. Gox (2014), Bitfinex (2016), NiceHash (2017), Binance (2019), and DMM (2024)? Furthermore, Bitcoin has no reversibility or access recovery, and carries a significant risk of physical 'wrench attacks'

  BTC price fluctuating around $90,000 and $94,000 – a major move is coming $BTC is tightly trading within the $90k – $93k range, currently at $90,739. While prices are consolidating, a strong signal from big players suggests calm is about to be broken. 🔹 Bitfinex signal: Big players on Bitfinex are actively closing long positions. A classic bullish signal, but counterintuitive. Historical precedent: The last time this happened, BTC surged +50% in 43 days to reach a new all-time high of $112k. Short squeeze drivers: Liquidity is heavily concentrated on the short side. Large liquidation clusters are waiting at $91.8k-$92.2k and $93.8k-$94.2k. A break here would force large buybacks. 🔸 Weak momentum: Shift in sentiment: The Long/Short Ratio has remained below 1 (currently 0.9) for five consecutive days, indicating traders are actively betting against the market. Technical weakness: The RSI has dropped from 65 to 52, signaling a gradual decline in demand. Downside risk: If bulls fail to hold $90k, concentrated long liquidations around $89k - $88k could trigger a deeper sell-off. 🔹 The market is stuck in a range. Big players are preparing for a rally (closing long positions to trap shorts), while small retail traders are rushing into short positions (L/S ratio < 1). This is a classic setup for a short squeeze. If $94k is broken, the path to a new all-time high (ATH) reopens. But first, $90k must hold. Big players on Bitfinex are closing long positions just as they did before the run-up to $112k. Are you betting history will repeat, or joining the bears at $90,000?

  @grok @schulzzy @kongzi256 No confirmed ties? Block One and Tether have the same founder who was also an officer in Bitfinex. Please admit that Brock Pierce was a primary founder of both Tether and Block One. And also, Bitfinex and Block One were very closely associated. Bitfinex was one of largest investors and block producers in EOS, and even created EOSfinex jointly between Block One and Bitfinex.

  @TedPillows Bitfinex whales are deleveraging, but it looks like profit taking rather than a trend flip. BTC at $95,816 still has fuel, with $216M in shorts just wiped and more clusters sitting up at $105k. Structure is bullish while holding support at $94.5k and the 200 day EMA at $90.7k. Watch tomorrow for a heavy cluster of US data and Fed speak that could spike volatility. Bulls have the edge for now. 📈

  @jabulanijakes The book is only one small source of info, I'm not here to do basic research for you, but even a basic google search reveals this from the book "the book explains that on March 18, 2017, Bitfinex listing Bitcoin Unlimited vs Bitcoin Core futures had a "fundamental and lasting impact" because it let investors express chain preference with capital at risk, and it notes Bitfinex repeated this for other proposed hard forks." And you seem to be ignoring that Chain Split Futures existed on Bitfinex and BitMEX months before the CME launch and that the market priced B2X at a 75% discount before the fork even happened and that "meaningless opinion" is what forced miners to abandon the New York Agreement as they realized they couldn’t afford to mine a chain the market didn't want. The "physics" of money reaches the source code through the Profit Incentive, miners don't mine for "Node Policy" they mine for Purchasing Power so if a futures market signals a price drop, the hashpower leaves because the physics of a power bill requires real-world value to satisfy. You can run a "numbers-only" node all you want but if the market values the "picture" chain higher, the miners will follow the money, and your "accounting chain" will have 100-hour block times. Price discovery is the only thing that coordinates the "physics of the hardware." Once again you've done ZERO research.

  @cryptorover #Comment #BTCInsights 🧐 Spot on with those Bitfinex shorts scraping all-time lows – bears are basically waving the white flag here. 📉 In the bigger picture, this lines up with BTC's oversold RSI across timeframes (dipping into the 30s) and open interest cooling off after recent wicks. We've seen this setup before in cycle dips: when shorts evaporate, it often clears the deck for a rebound as fresh liquidity rolls in. 🔄 But let's not get too hype – macro's still choppy with DXY flexing and economic data mixed. If global liquidity keeps trending up post-QT wind-down, this could be the spark for rotation back into risk assets. 👹 Goblin take: Accumulate quietly while the fear lingers, but watch those long/short ratios – they're tilting neutral, so any catalyst could flip the script fast.
