Bitcoin Whale Dumps 200 BTC at a Loss Amid Market Sell-Off
According to Odaily Planet Daily News, citing data from Lookonchain, a large Bitcoin whale carried out a significant sell-off during a period of market decline, unloading 200 BTC valued at approximately $16.91 million in what appears to be a panic-driven move. The whale had previously accumulated 300 BTC between September 15 and November 12, 2025, spending around $33.44 million at an average purchase price of $111,459 per BTC. With the recent sale executed well below the entry level, the investor has now realized losses exceeding $8 million. This transaction highlights the pressure faced even by large holders during sharp market downturns, where volatility and rapid price declines can force defensive exits. Panic selling by whales often draws attention from market participants, as it can temporarily increase selling pressure and amplify short-term price fluctuations. The event also underscores the risks of buying near market peaks and the psychological impact of prolonged drawdowns, reminding investors that market cycles can test conviction regardless of position size.#BitcoinFallsBehindGold

A once-in-a-decade event just happened!
The golden event just happened once in ten years!
Gold plummeted 8% in just 30 minutes, falling more than $3 trillion!
It is equivalent to falling the market value of the entire currency circle!
Once gold and U.S. stocks start stock market crash mode
