  @IcoMarketer @bitfinex It looks like we’re testing the resistance at 82k and lost the support at 78k, dropping to 76k at the moment, @IcoMarketer .

  @michaelcurry514 @FBIDirectorKash He allegedly used insider access as son of CMDSS CEO (USMS contractor managing seized crypto). ZachXBT traced him (aka "Lick") moving $40M+ from gov wallets tied to 2016 Bitfinex hack assets after he bragged in Telegram. Most funds returned fast. Exact key access unclear, but that's why the FBI probe and today's arrest.

  @bitfinex This is the divergence nobody's talking about enough. Crypto sentiment hit levels worse than COVID and FTX while the S&P is barely 2% off highs. That gap has to close. Either equities catch down or crypto catches up. The on chain data $174M in whale accumulation this week, zero institutional distribution strongly suggests which direction the close happens.

  @veresha75 100% Only one mistake you made ATH was not 141$ it was 198.8$ at Bitfinex in 2018. So percent down % is even worst.

  @hellojintao I don't think so. Think the government is more likely to confiscate and distribute pro rata at a later date. Maybe an overhang like bitfinex for years. Strategy zeroed and him holding the supply would be terrible and would prevent us going up for years imo

  Bitcoin 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.

  @misterrcrypto Bitfinex longs hitting ATH while spot ETF flows are cooling? Classic setup. When leverage peaks and retail FOMO dies down, that's when the real move starts. Watch for the flush before the moon.

  @CryptoGui btc at $72,754, down 42% from oct 2025 ATH of $126k. year to date down 15%. binance SAFU fund buying aggressively - added 2,630 btc ($201m) over two days ending today. bitfinex saw $945m net inflows (7d), binance $949m, gemini $214m. coinbase acquired deribit which pulled $214m inflows. whale action: someone accumulated 1,500 cbbtc ($113m) at avg $75,820. hyperliquid shows net 240 btc short position, fresh shorts opening around current levels. spot etf aum dropped below $100b for first time since april 2025 - that's significant cooling. but ibit still seeing $200m+ inflows on feb 2-3. vistaShares launched hybrid etf (80% treasuries, 20% btc via ibit options). miner economics under pressure - cango production dropped from 569 btc in dec to 496 btc in jan due to extreme cold in north america. bhutan government actively selling holdings. microstrategy sitting on $2-2.3b unrealized loss with 713,502 btc. macro: cftc chairman says btc legislation will pass and get adopted globally. treasury secretary confirmed no authority to use taxpayer funds for btc purchases or bailouts. cme exploring proprietary token launch. price drivers: etf aum decline is bearish, bhutan selling adds pressure. but binance safu buying at these levels suggests strong conviction from major players. exchange inflows could signal accumulation or trading setup. direction: conflicting signals. large players accumulating but etf demand cooling. $72k area being tested as support (24h low $71,997). break below opens more downside. sustained buying from entities like binance could provide floor. depends if institutional buying absorbs current selling pressure.

  @rareon_alpha @bitfinex Maybe, but is this a sustainable shift? Will we have a new support in the 80k range? What do you think, @rareon_Alpha?

  Capitulation 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. 🧵

  Has anyone else done what @CasPiancey did with Bitfinex? Did they ever end up having a headquarters? Maybe @Bitfinexed knows. The iFinex/Tether receipts he's been compiling for seven-plus years are a public service. He was right when almost nobody else was saying it out loud.

  Instead of helping with QC, it would be great if he could just keep Coinbase from going down whenever there’s a spike in trading volume. Maybe he could use some technical support from @bitfinex engineers.

  @cryptorover Smart money is doubling down while retail panics about the government shutdown. 73k+ BTC longs on Bitfinex is a massive signal. If we hold the $85k support, the liquidations up to $100k look like a magnet. 🚀 Great update @CryptoRover

  LEO is poking above $10.04, but I’m not calling it a clean breakout yet. Price is at $10.05, trend is clearly up, and the Bitfinex buyback/burn story is real. Problem is volume: this push is still below 7d and 30d participation, while RSI is already 73. I like it if $10.04 holds and buyers actually show up. Lose that, and it probably drops back into range.

  $27M is 0.9% of their $3B position. That is not a dump, that is a rounding error. More likely Bitfinex margin collateral or OTC facilitation. Track the order book depth on Bitfinex over the next 48h -- if no large market sells appear, this was treasury management, not distribution.

  Bitfinex whales just stacked their biggest long position in 2.5 years while Bitcoin bled five days straight down to $77K. Same week, perp funding across majors flipped negative. The whales are leaning long on spot margin. The crowd is leaning short on perps. Two different books making opposite bets. Last time Bitfinex margin got this lopsided into a slide was June 2022. LUNA imploded a week later. Time before that, November 2021. The cycle top. The Bitfinex book gets called "smart money" on CT. Truth is messier. They show up early. They show up big. And when they catch the knife with this much size, the knife usually keeps falling before the real bid arrives. Order book under $76K is thin. Liquidation map stacks at $74K. The bounce comes. Just not from here.

  Bitfinex margin longs just hit a 2.5-year high as traders double down on Bitcoin during a five-day slide — betting heavily on a recovery near the $78,000 resistance zone. (The Block) The most contrarian traders alive are loading up RIGHT NOW. Not after the pump. During the pain.

  @intocryptoverse I do not know why you are comparing ISM to bitcoin in 2014. Bitcoin had no macro narrative at that time. It was a play of handful people with issues like Mt Gox, bitfinex hack etc. Bitcoin was facing teething issues with no trust in it as an asset class, why would have it followed business cycle. 2017 was the first year (despite strong speculation) when you can consider wider investor trust followed by 2020 when tradfi entered bitcoin. So comparing its move with ISM is useless in 2014. Check SPX / NDX during that time both went up approx 18% during the year. You are becoming Analysis Paralysis.

  CryptoForge (@CryptoForge) reported 1 hour ago

  Bitcoin hit $71k+ on Iran ceasefire relief, but the rally is turning cautious for 3 clear reasons: • Bitfinex leveraged long positions are stuck near multi-year highs (80,057 BTC) — classic contrarian signal that hasn’t unwound despite the 15%+ bounce from $60k. • Muted U.S. institutional demand — Coinbase Premium Index is flipping between premium and discount (no strong buying conviction). • Crypto stocks barely moving (Coinbase +1.5%, MicroStrategy +3%) while Nasdaq/S&P rip higher. We yet to see real institutional conviction. Do you think $BTC will break the $70k support zone or this is just a market pump due to noise?
