The movements happened mainly through exchange sales and over-the-counter (OTC) transactions. These groups, historically known to divest during bull markets and consolidation phases, are demonstrating their market influence once again. The recent selling, though less intense than previous instances, underscores the significant impact LTHs and whales have on liquidity and price fluctuations.
