According to on-chain data, a Satoshi-era wallet that had not moved funds for 
13 years transferred roughly 12,000 BTC — about $1.4 billion at current prices 
— in a set of transactions that landed on an exchange ledger. Whale Moves Stir 
Markets Reports have disclosed that the transfers came as Bitcoin hovered near 
a key price band. The coin fell about 2% after the activity, a quick reaction 
as traders guessed the funds might be put up for sale. 🚨 BREAKING SATOSHI ERA

November 13, 2025 Some market watchers warned that if larger sell orders hit 
exchanges, positions using borrowed money could be forced to close, which 
would make price moves sharper. Others said the market’s mood was more nervous 
than panicked; large transfers often spark anxiety even when no immediate sale 
follows. Technical Pressure Around Resistance Prominent analyst Ted commented 
that Bitcoin is facing stiff resistance around $104,000–$105,000. According to 
his view, holding above $105,000 could encourage renewed buying and push 
prices toward $107,000. If that fails, he warned that the next clear support 
sits near $100,000. Traders will watch order books and exchange flows closely 
in coming sessions to see whether the transferred coins are converted to fiat 
or simply shifted between wallets. Long-Term Holders Take Profits Based on 
reports from Chris Kuiper, CFA, the broader selling pressure appears driven 
more by long-term holders than by panicked sellers. Kuiper pointed to the 
share of Bitcoin that has remained inactive for one year or longer. That 
metric usually climbs in slow markets and drops sharply during fast rallies. 
This time, the decline has been gradual. The pattern suggests steady profit- 
taking over time rather than a sudden exodus. &#8220;Who is selling?&#8221; Is the number 
one question I&#8217;ve been getting regarding #bitcoin&#8217;s continued price pressure 
against a backdrop of visible buying (by ETPs, corporations etc.) I&#8217;m not 
unique in suggesting it&#8217;s the long-term holders (or HODLers). But one data 
point that gives… pic.twitter.com/9PVoolrtwm — Chris Kuiper, CFA 
(@ChrisJKuiper) November 12, 2025 Market observers say gradual sales fit a 
maturing market where older holders lock in gains without trying to time a 
perfect top. Where past cycles saw abrupt moves from large dormant wallets, 
the current trend looks more measured. That does not rule out short-term 
volatility, but it changes how traders interpret big transfers. Related

For now, the market’s next moves will likely be set by a mix of on-chain flows 
and how price behaves around the $104,000–$105,000 area. Short-term traders 
will react to exchange data. Long-term investors may watch the inactive-supply 
metric and adjust plans more slowly. The transfer of 12,000 BTC is a big piece 
of information. How traders act on it will determine whether this becomes a 
headline event or just another moment in Bitcoin’s long rise. Featured image
