Bitcoin Crashes to $110K: Here’s What Happened.

Occasionally, there are instances that even the markets cannot predict in the long run. These instances are never planned and are as organic as they come, but end up changing the market course from time to time. In one such instance, a noteworthy BTC whale ended up dumping nearly 24000 BTC tokens, causing the markets to experience volatility at their best. This massive token dump led the markets to witness a sharp correction, with Bitcoin falling back to $110K. At press time, the token has regained some of its value, sitting at $112 at press time.
Ethereum, on the other hand, has also plunged, compelled to change its price pace, as the token was about to move towards the $5K mark. The token is sitting at $4716 at press time after hitting a new ATH of $4900 before the whale incident took hold of the market dynamics. As per notable crypto analyst Jacob King, the whale had reportedly dumped BTC for Ethereum, dumping coins that have not been moved in about five years.
“JUST IN: The #Bitcoin flash crash today. Which wiped out $310M in long positions, has been traced to a SINGLE Bitcoin whale dumping BTC for ETH. The whale sold 24,000+ BTC, including coins that hadn’t moved in 5+ years, sending 12,000+ #BTC today alone to the Hyperunite trading platform. They’ve sold 18,000+ BTC ($2B) so far and are in the process of dumping the remaining 6,000+ BTC ($670M). Most of the money is being moved into Ethereum; $2B was bought and $1.3B was staked.”
