đ§ Bitcoin Broke $100K But Closed Above $100K for 181 Days
Yes, I know why you clicked on this post, lol.
The market just witnessed another brutal crypto sell-off, one that sent shockwaves across every major exchange. For the first time in six months, Bitcoin $BTC.X ( âČ 0.14% ) briefly slipped below the psychological $100,000 mark, triggering over $1.3 billion in liquidations in just 24 hours.
On Coinbase, BTC touched $99,954, while CoinMarketCapâs feed showed a near-identical low of $99,990 before a quick bounce back above $101,000. Still, Bitcoin ended the day down more than 5%, extending a 12% drop for the week and more than 20% from its all-time high of $126,000 set in early October.
The last time Bitcoin traded below six figures was in early May, and back then, the market treated it like a rare dip.
The marketâs shaking out leverage, clearing weak hands, and resetting before its next move. Despite all the panic headlines, BTC didnât close below $100K, marking 181 consecutive days above that milestone.
Historically, Bitcoin corrections that hold major psychological levels (like $100K now, or $30K in 2023) often lead to massive upside expansions.
As Warren Buffett once said:
 âBe fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.âÂ
I believe this is exactly the moment that quote hits hardest because while the crowd panics during the crypto sell-off, one whale in particular, known as the Hyperunit Whale, has just longed $37 million worth of BTC.
THE $10B HYPERUNIT WHALE JUST LONGED $BTC AND $ETH
This address is owned by the Hyperunit whale, who:
– Bought $850M of BTC during the 2018 bear market, and held until it was worth $10B+
– Rotated $5B of BTC into ETH from August-October this year
– Made $200M by successfullyâ Arkham (@arkham)

This is the same address that bought $850 million worth of BTC during the 2018 bear market, held it through the chaos, and rode it into a $10B+ fortune.
Known for his eerie market timing, the Hyperunit Whale rotated $5 billion of BTC into ETH between August and October this year, then perfectly predicted the 10/10 China tariff market crash, pocketing $200 million by shorting the market before Trump announced new tariff measures.
After two more winning shorts, heâs back, opening $37 million in BTC longs and $18 million in ETH longs on Hyperliquid.
If he gets this right again, it will mark his fourth consecutive successful macro call.
You can dismiss it as coincidence, but this address has built a record most funds can only dream of.
đ° Old Coins Ready to Rise – ASTER and ICP May Lead the Charge
ASTER $ASTER.X ( âČ 6.39% ) :
While most traders spent the year chasing new Layer 2 narratives, ASTER has been quietly building through the storm, and now the market gotta notice this token.
As a DeFi infrastructure chain, ASTERâs developer count and on-chain activity have been rising steadily since mid-Q3, with cross-chain DEX liquidity up 38% month-over-month even as most of DeFi has been contracting.
In a world where Hyperliquid $HYPE.X ( âČ 1.87% ) promotes transparency and whale accountability, ASTER has become the opposite, which is a haven for those who crave absolute privacy.
Itâs the network for the âreal whalesâ who prefer to operate in the shadows: private deals, insider trades, and high-stakes transactions with no digital fingerprints.
Betting on ASTER is essentially betting on CZâs determination to take on Hyperliquid head-to-head like a DeFi rivalry reminiscent of FTX vs. Binance.
CZ has already been publicly accumulating ASTER, steadily DCA-ing like Sam once did with SOL.
This time, you know how powerful that pattern can be.
Internet Computer Protocol $ICP.X ( âČ 9.55% ):
ICP is one of the old coins in crypto. Once hyped as the âEthereum killer,â it fell over 95% from its peak at $433.87, became a meme for overvaluation, and disappeared from most tradersâ watchlists.
But whatâs remarkable is that even though itâs an old coin, this token has repeatedly seen sharp, short-lived price surges. For example, in early 2024, ICP rallied from $3.09 to $18.77 – a stunning 6x increase.
This time, weâre seeing a similar pattern forming again, ICP has bounced right off the $2.8 support zone, this time with much stronger trading volume than before.
And honestly, it looks even bigger than the last run. Trust me, if history rhymes, this one might just be the 10x move everyoneâs been waiting for. LOL.
One of the charts showing a similar pattern is Cardano $ADA.X ( ⌠0.86% ) back in late 2019 to early 2020.
It formed a local top, then corrected for about five to six months, dropping back to the $0.02 support zone before bouncing sharply upward, which is a classic accumulation-and-reversal setup that mirrors what weâre starting to see with ICP right now.
They are classic old coin setups: seasoned assets with solid fundamentals, temporarily forgotten, and positioned for asymmetric upside once the capital rotation begins.
The playbook hasnât changed. Bitcoin stabilizes. Ethereum confirms.
Then the rotation begins. The coins that look âdeadâ suddenly 5x. The ones no one tweets about become front-page headlines again.
This crypto sell-off might not be the end, it could be the ignition point.
So yes, maybe itâs time to start looking backward to move forward. Or you might remember, another dino coins I recently wrote about it – ZEC.
⥠Mindset of Survival – Mastering the Art of Doing Nothing
The market bleeds red as Bitcoin nears $100,000. For many, this crypto sell-off is painful to watch, but maybe this is when the most valuable lesson returns: you canât control the market.
The sooner you accept that truth, the freer youâll be.
The crypto sell-off doesnât care about your emotions, it moves to its own rhythm, sometimes calm, sometimes cruel. Accepting your helplessness isnât weakness; itâs maturity. Once you understand that, your mind becomes peaceful, and your decisions become wiser.
You canât control the market.
You can only control yourself.Your risk, your reaction, your mindset, thatâs your real edge.
The moment you accept that, you start trading like a professional. đâ TopOneTrader (@TopOneTrader)

Many people suffer trying to âbeatâ the market, believing it will move their way. But no one knows the future. The wise donât predict; they prepare. They live by scenarios, not certainty.
We plan carefully for vacations like where to go, what to eat, backup plans, yet few plan carefully for their financial future. We get trapped in echo chambers, hearing only the overly bullish or the eternally bearish.
Both can be right for a while, but not forever.
Fear when prices fall and greed when they rise – both are emotional traps in different forms.
Crypto is about to do more than pad your wallet.
It’s a mirror, that teaches you about yourself.
It will show your discipline or expose your desperation.

The market runs on fear and greed, like a machine fueled by emotion. News and charts just spark reactions. Nothing is certain, except death, taxes, and that fiat money always loses value over time.
Knowing this, the path becomes clear, not easy, but clear. Defend by holding long-term. Accumulate patiently. Focus on increasing income and avoiding bad debt. Stick to the plan you made when the market was calm, not the one made in panic.
The disciplined may be mocked now, but theyâll laugh last. When fear makes you hesitate or FOMO makes you reckless, return to your compass.
The crypto sell-off doesnât owe you anything but it will always respect those who respect it.
