Recently, a large holder on a compliant custody platform withdrew 1.44 trillion SHIB in one go, which is equivalent to $12.58 million. This move directly pushed the Meme coin up by 7.79% on the daily chart. It seems that the actions of whales can still shake the market.

On the other side, the XRP derivatives market has caused quite a stir. The liquidation imbalance reached an astonishing 18913%. The contrast is that the spot price remains relatively stable, hovering around $2.0863 with little fluctuation. However, the amount of short positions liquidated exceeded $870,000, while the long positions liquidated only about $4,600. This level of imbalance is indeed a bit outrageous.

Bitcoin continues its weekly upward trend, with the closing price approaching $91,380. The market's focus is clearly on the $100,000 psychological barrier, with the Bollinger Band midline target at $103,522.98. From a technical perspective, mainstream coins still maintain an upward stance.

SHIB-2,76%

XRP-5,59%

BTC-1,21%

Whales can move the entire market with a single move, indicating that we retail investors are still too young. The liquidation ratio of XRP is ridiculously high, with shorts being slaughtered... while longs are relatively unaffected. Wait until BTC truly stabilizes at 100,000 before celebrating.

Whales move, and I follow the trend. Honestly, it's just a matter of getting cut again. Bitcoin is heading towards 100,000. I bet my monthly salary on it. Technical analysis looks fine, right? XRP shorts are so miserable, I need to think in the opposite direction... Something's wrong. SHIB's rally is only 7 points, and the whales are screwing me again. Should I go all-in now or wait for a pullback? I'm so conflicted again. Bollinger Bands 103522, sounds like a trap. I'm definitely going to chase the high. I really should buy the dip in XRP. Wait... Am I always thinking like this?

whale pulling 1.44t shib just to pump it 7.79%... honestly feels like the market's screaming for actual volume, ngl. that xrp liquidation cascade though... 18913% imbalance? that's not market structure, that's pure carnage. 87mil shorts liquidated vs 4.6k longs? someone's getting absolutely rekt while the spot just chills at 2.08. classic derivatives trap energy right there.

Whales can push the coin up by 7%, and we retail investors are really just the background. The XRP liquidation ratio is just ridiculous. The shorts were slaughtered, yet it remains steady above $2. That's unbelievable. The $100,000 threshold, Bitcoin is definitely going to break through it, no suspense.

Whale dumping is actually just a liquidity illusion. To put it simply, the market is still too shallow. This XRP liquidation imbalance... is completely a flaw in derivative design. When the incentive mechanism is distorted, this is the result. Reaching 100,000 USD for BTC depends on how long the consensus can hold. The psychological barrier is often the most vulnerable to collapse.

SHIB whales are truly unbeatable, shaking the entire market with a single move. This is real influence. XRP's clearing data is so outrageous it's hard to believe; the bears are getting beaten badly. Bitcoin's recent momentum is great; 100,000 is really within reach. It's time to test your mindset again—can we break through?

Whales move their coins, and the market trembles three times—I'm already tired of this routine, haha. The recent liquidation imbalance with XRP is really outrageous; shorts got wiped out to 870,000. This is what you call a slaughter scheme. BTC is determined to break through 100,000. No matter what anyone says, I feel like this time it's really coming. SHIB is up 7 points; I must still be dreaming. This derivatives market is truly a battlefield; if you're not careful, you'll get wiped out in a bloodbath.
