Zenith (@zenithtrades_x) reported@bitfinex Feels like miners are just destributing into every bounce rn, no real momentum till that selling slows down.
-
Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@Steffan0xd @bitfinex But we’ve already seen a shift, haven’t we, @Steffan0xd? We’re holding the 80k average as support. What are the next steps in your opinion?
-
El Gūapo (@El_Guapooo_) reported@bitfinex Almost like they need capital to fund their AI pivot. No **** they are selling their BTC.
-
Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@rareon_alpha @bitfinex Pullbacks happen. The 80k barrier has finally been broken. Could this be our new support level, @rareon_alpha?
-
CryptoJGM (@CryptoJM95) reported🚨SOMEONE JUST OPENED A $16,000,000 $XRP LONG. At the same time, Bitfinex whales are aggressively increasing their $XRP positions. Wtf is going on???
-
Slade 🛡️ LLM Hacker (@llm_redteam) reported@btcliveco spot down, derivs up, traffic down. that's not a market getting bigger, it's the same crowd rolling the same money through more leverage. Bitfinex printing +21.4% spot while everyone else bleeds is the only real signal here.
-
Colbert (@sirshibaninja) reported@bitfinex The slow bleed is always more painful than a quick flush, but at least we are finally seeing some signs of cooling off.
-
Coca Cola Kid (@CocaColaKid_OG) reportedBitfinex whale 24h pace down from ~+1,300 to +762, with a flat/negative last hour, could be top signal like projected ~88.4K BTC, +11%, day 18 last time it quit buying Bitcoin gained +20%
-
Ajay Khosla (@Kenny_Khosla) reportedBitcoin: $63.7K. This week's rally to $65K was a macro trade, not a crypto one — per Bitfinex, driven by the CPI-triggered Fed repricing (hike odds 42%→12%), not fresh BTC demand. Evidence: ETFs sold $425M right before CPI, Strategy bought nothing, and the Coinbase premium's still negative. Meanwhile, the real story today is AI stocks — the semiconductor ETF (SOXX) is down 17.6% since July 1, with Micron, SanDisk, Intel all down 4-8% just today. Bitcoin's pullback looks tame by comparison.
-
Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@GoldPulseCrypto @bitfinex Maybe wouldn’t say we’re back to square one, considering the market has strong support above 75k after the end of the previous cycle. That’s positive, isn’t it, @GoldPulseCrypto ?

ryonnixon (@ryonnixon) reportedI think Drift is really going to make it and set a great example for other hacked protocols. You need to study LEO to understand how amortization tokens are a huge success of our industry that no one ever talks about. LEO worked great to help Bitfinex remedy user losses. Essentially, the company issues tokens and set expectations for how much each will be paid. These tokens are tradable and transferable so that people can sell them or wait to be paid. Whether it is direct redemption or buybacks, the money flows from the company to the token holder. Essentially, crypto recreated private credit onchain for a very specific use case: paying back lost funds.

BlackIntus (@Blackintus) reportedCrypto Fear & Greed Index: 16/100 — “extreme fear.” Bitcoin briefly broke $60K last week — worst stretch since FTX collapse in 2022. Now rebounding to $63,800. But Bitfinex warns: “Rallies are increasingly being sold rather than accumulated.” The structural problem hasn’t changed. Macro is restrictive. Rates are going higher. Bitcoin is a risk-on asset in a risk-off environment. 💰 YOUR MOVE: The $63,800 bounce is a relief rally, not a reversal. For the trend to change you need two things: Strait of Hormuz reopens (oil down, inflation pressure eases, Fed pause) or SpaceX IPO capital returns to crypto after the excitement fades. Neither is happening this week. If you’re long crypto, set a stop at $58,000. If you’re waiting to buy the dip — the structural floor is $52,000, not $60,000. @Blackintus

Ismeidy (@ismeidyfinanzas) reportedCapitulation or bull trap? Bitfinex whales defy the #bitcoin sell-off and open record positions bitcoin:native is at a critical crossroads after five consecutive days of losses (May 15–19), marking its second-worst losing streak so far this year. The asset has retreated from the $80,000 range to around $76,000, dragged down by widespread weakness in the markets. However, behind the scenes, the big players are executing a move with strong conviction. 🧵
-
Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reportedBitcoin has been persistently testing the $80,000 zone. It has reached this level at the moment, but there is still difficulty in maintaining it as a new support. Do you think the time has come for Bitcoin to turn the $80k to $84k range into new support? Read today’s Bitfinex Alpha.

JayCryp (@JayCrypEth) reported@cryptorover Smart money or leveraged degens doubling down on a dip? Bitfinex longs at 2.5yr highs while BTC slides ~13% YTD is wild either way

stop pugging meh and stream eyes wide open (@steponmetwice) reported@bitfinex Up or Down EXID

Orion Veyr (@orionveyr) reported@Stacks @bitfinex I’m actually writing a book called “Sats & Stacks”on monetary history that has Bitcoin and Stacks as main characters. Until the book is out I built a FREE course on my website based on the book No ads, no fee, simply go on the website from my profile bio and all happens there.

Dr Hamdard office (@RektRidgexca2) reportedBTC momentum cooling with 3 red flags: slowing US buy-side, whale concentration on Bitfinex, and on-chain metrics flashing warning. Eyes on support levels through the Vegas conference. #Bitcoin
-
Alex B (@cryptofoolscom) reported@martypartymusic What's interesting, recently, even when BTC is flat or positive, Bitfinex longs keep piling in. Usually, it's the opposite. Bitfinex longs are going up, and the BTC price is sliding down. Divergence like that tells me the reversal for BTC is on the way.

Jason Montoya (@jaysmontoya) reported@bitfinex the playbook ran early because ETFs front-ran it. ATH still came on historical schedule. this is the post-peak correction, not a broken cycle.
-
JP_OptionsDeFi (@DefiLtam) reported@bitfinex And what ******** does this damn industry that wants to destroy wealth or create it, damn Chinese and American demons creating their patterns of cursed cycles.

Bitfinex'ed 🔥🐧 Κασσάνδρα 🏺 (@Bitfinexed) reportedActually the this is true, but I was trying to keep it simple. Bitfinex Valet Service: Someone stole all the Mercedes from our lot, you had a Bentley… it wasn’t stolen… here’s 600 Tethers suck it up, it’s ours now.

wittery (@midwit_retard) reported@Wild_Randomness @ch1ckenNS correlation def works but feels like some weird data issue? where does this long accumulation data on bitfinex come from eve..
-
M-log1 (@log1_053) reportedThe reason you should block these accounts. Bitfinex whales are what you should counter trade, they are smart money but the way this morron makes all think like.

ddadybayo (@ddadybayo) reportedThis is the kind of narrative that gets pushed while the actual architecture centralizes and leaks. Onion routing hides the full path. That part is real. But the protocol has built in leaks that have been known and documented for years: - Same payment hash on every hop →trivial correlation. - Balance probing recovers up to 89% of public channel balances. - Timing analysis: the single most central node can observe timing on 50% of payments. Top 4 nodes cover 72%. Meanwhile the “decentralized L2” part: - Public capacity hovers between 2.7k–5.6k BTC. - Top 10 nodes control 62% of all public liquidity. - Gini coefficient for node capacity: 0.97. - Top 10% of nodes hold 80% of the locked bitcoin. This is not decentralization. This is a hub and spoke system with a few very powerful hubs. Who runs these hubs? Mostly exchanges and LSPs: Bitfinex, ACINQ, Binance, Kraken, OKX, Wallet of Satoshi and similar. If you’re not running your own full node and managing your own liquidity, you’re almost certainly routing through these entities. They see sender, receiver and amounts. Privacy collapses. This isn’t a bug. It’s the predictable result of a design that prioritizes routing efficiency and capital efficiency over actual decentralization and strong privacy. Powerful adversaries (state level or well resourced) don’t even need to break onion routing perfectly. They just sit on or near the big hubs and watch. Lightning can move small payments faster and cheaper than on-chain. That’s its actual use case. But calling it incredible privacy by default while the liquidity and routing are this concentrated and while these attacks exist, is dishonest. Real privacy requires an additional layer on top (Chaumian ecash like Cashu is one attempt). The base Lightning protocol does not deliver it. Bitcoin was supposed to be a tool for financial sovereignty and resistance to control. When the dominant scaling solution creates new centralized chokepoints that are easy to monitor and potentially censor, we’ve traded one set of problems for another that serves power better. Data doesn’t lie. Narratives do.

Liberty Daddy (@LibertyDaddy) reported@cameron Save some ammo guys for when Bitfinex and Binance dump Bitcoin back down overnight $ETH too

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@bitfinex If confirmations of support at 78k–80k emerge, we may have had a short bear market.
