BTC Dips on Trade Tension Ease, But 450 BTC/Day Whale Says “Buy More” – Eyes $107K Glory

BTCUSD showed a minor pullback on easing trade tension between US and Greenland. It dropped to a low of $87193 and is now trading at about $89852.

As Bitcoin (BTC) trades close to the $90,000 level in early 2026, Blockstream CEO and Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back recently brought to light a significant Bitfinex whale greedily acquiring Bitcoin at an astounding pace of roughly 450 BTC daily—almost equal to the whole worldwide daily mining production. Starting with 300 BTC per day through TWAP (time-weighted average price) tactics, the whale has increased purchases to absorb around $40 million worth of BTC every day, hence depleting exchange liquidity and counteracting short-term holder selling pressure. This persistent, high-conviction buying amid opposition at $90k is widely considered as a bullish indication that could tighten supply and pave the way for the next leg higher, hence strengthening patterns of institutional accumulation in spite of ongoing market discussions about whether such whales eventually buy dips only to sell into strength.
