Not only that, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-are-bitcoin-whales\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">whale<\/a> wallets can distribute as quietly as they accumulate, and a single large holder reversing course (as loracle.hl\u2019s painful long shows) does not guarantee the next move. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Still, fresh money has kept pulling HYPE into cold storage. Whether that conviction will continue to be rewarded will depend on whether Hyperliquid can keep defying the gravity that has dragged the rest of the market lower, bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> to as low as $61,300 (and the market\u2019s overall capitalization to 2.2T). <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/hype-whales-accumulate-trader-short-loss\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways One wallet pulled 902,317 HYPE worth $64.9M off exchanges over the 72 hours, signaling accumulation.
