Price Impact of Ceffu’s Deposits on BTC

Based on market sentiment, the large BTC deposit made by Ceffu to Binance may result in any of the following effects on the price of Bitcoin:

If, however, the deposit is then followed by a large sell-off, this could cause a temporary dip in the cost of Bitcoin as there are suddenly more BTCs available on the market than buyers. The news of such a large potential sell-off may spook traders, and more people may start selling their positions, which would, in turn, put pressure of sale on the price. It might lead to an increase in volatility as the price may shift more frequently in response to this transfer.

Even if the BTC is not immediately sold, the notion of selling could dampen market sentiment and deter buyers due to FOMO and decrease the market price. Sellers who believe the price will fall may open short positions and escalate a downtrend.
