Why is Bitcoin up today? Because the same whales who watched retail traders panic sell during the Iran strikes were quietly loading their wallets at $63,000, and now that Bitcoin has bounced back above $68,000 the on chain data shows exactly who was on which side of that trade. The manipulation is no longer hidden, it is visible in every wallet tracker and every exchange inflow chart, large holders bought the fear that small holders created by selling into it.
