As the market recovers, Bitcoin appears to be showing renewed bullish strength after several weeks of heightened volatility that saw its price fall below the $100,000 mark. During this downward trend there are many new ones BTC whales or big holders experienced significant losses, leading to a massive wave of capitulation among these key investors.
New Bitcoin Whales Break Under Pressure
One of Bitcoin’s most influential investor groups: newly formed whale addresses have taken a hit in a market where sentiment remains ambiguous. Bitcoin’s volatile swing in recent weeks has now left these key investors’ positions in serious losses as the price falls below their entry level.
MorenoDV, a market expert and author, shared this crucial development in a quick post on the CryptoQuant platform after studying the Bitcoin Realized Profits by Whales metric. Specifically, this crucial metric helps determine whether these investors capitulate (realized losses) or distribute at a profit (realized profits).
After the research, the expert found that Bitcoin is currently experiencing one of the most aggressive capitulations of the year due to new whale entrants. Such a development indicates that the cohort is heavily abandoning its position under pressure, a sign of fear or a dramatic change in attitude.
Data shows that the new whale investors have suffered more than $1.3 billion in losses in the past six days, marking one of the most aggressive selling campaigns of 2025. With significant amounts of BTC being sold at a loss, there is speculation as to whether this is an early signal of deeper weakness the short-term price prospects of the crypto asset.
What’s driving the cohort’s increased selling pressure?
According to the expert, continued losses of this magnitude are indicative of forced sales panic-induced exits. Meanwhile, this is often caused by the disappearance of the aversion to latecomers or the disappearance of leveraged positions. Considering the current bullish state and resilience of the BTC market, MorenoDV stated that this event is noteworthy.
Despite witnessing one of the greatest capitulation waves Among the new whales this year, Bitcoin’s price so far is between $100,000 and $105,000. Historically, such periods of concentration of realized losses have consistently led to spikes in volatility. These peaks mark a local trough or lead to long-term deleveraging, depending on market liquidity conditions.
Specifically, the data points to near-term pain among large companies. However, the market’s ability to absorb these pressures without collapsing may indicate underlying pressure ask or accumulation by stronger hands. In the meantime, the expert explains that the coming days will help determine whether this was the final shakeout or a sign of much deeper structural stress.
CryptoQuant provides more data on the trend marked that Bitcoin has been below the average cost basis of new whales at the $110,800 level since October 28, leading to significant realized losses. The chart shows realized losses of $286.4 million, $90.7 million, $107.5 million, $515.1 million and $5.1 million on November 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively.
