According to Francisco Rodrigues, Bitcoin (BTC) rose to around $106,000 as risk assets responded to President Trump's announcement of a two-week delay in U.S. intervention in Iran, reducing Polymarket conflict odds from 70% to 40%. However, CryptoQuant analysts caution that BTC could drop to $92,000 if demand fails to recover, citing a 60% decline in ETF flows since April and halved whale buying. Velo data shows stable derivatives open interest at $56.73 billion and positive funding rates for BTC and ETH, while technical analysis indicates bullish momentum if BTC closes above key levels.

According to Spencer Yang, BTC's resilience to geopolitical tensions is attributed to strong fundamentals and rising on-chain activity from protocols like B-R-C-20 and Runes. Glassnode and Avenir Group report BTC's increased correlation with traditional markets, while Semir Gabeljic cites $1.1 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows last week as a key driver for price stability above $100K.

According to Omkar Godbole, cryptocurrencies like BTC have shown resilience to geopolitical tensions such as Iran-Israel hostilities, with BTC and ETH trading in narrow ranges and BCH gaining 4%. Institutions are increasing crypto involvement, evidenced by JPMorgan's application for a crypto platform and Strategy's purchase of over 10,100 BTC worth $1.05 billion. Spot ETFs for BTC and ETH recorded inflows, and regulatory progress includes the GENIUS stablecoin bill and CLARITY Act advancing in Congress. Market caution stems from potential prolonged Middle East conflicts and the upcoming Fed rate decision, with XBTO highlighting selective capital flows and altcoin sell-offs, while BRN predicts higher prices in 2025 due to strong institutional demand.

According to CoinDesk Research, Ether (ETH) surged 8.61% to $2,420 following former President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, reversing war-driven market anxiety and fueling bullish sentiment. Technical analysis showed high-volume support at $2,220-$2,230 and a breakout above $2,400, with on-chain data revealing $265 million in ETH accumulated by whales. Traders are now watching for a potential breach of the $2,500 resistance level.

According to Farside Investors, spot ETH ETFs recorded $11.3 million in net outflows on June 20, the highest single-day outflow this month, primarily driven by BlackRock's ETHA ETF with a $19.7 million outflow. ETH price briefly dropped to $2,372.85 amid heavy selling but recovered to close near $2,445, with a strong support zone at $2,420-$2,430 confirmed by CoinDesk Research's technical analysis. Resistance at $2,480-$2,500 remains a key level for traders, as elevated volume signals ongoing accumulation and bullish momentum.

According to HyperLiquid and Lookonchain data, a trader known as AguilaTrades on X transformed an unrealized $10 million profit on a Bitcoin long position into a $2.5 million loss after BTC fell from $108,800 to $104,000. This highlights the high risks of leveraged trading in cryptocurrency markets during periods of low volatility and price consolidation, as similar incidents, like James Wynn's $100 million loss in May, underscore recurring pitfalls for traders.

According to @EmberCN on Twitter, crypto trader @qwatio successfully closed a BTC short position at 1 AM, securing a $1.97 million profit. The trade began with $7.3 million margin against James, with the position heavily reduced by forced liquidations to under $1 million. A final position was added on June 13 with a cost basis of $107,766. As BTC prices corrected, @qwatio exited at a significant profit. This high-profile trade demonstrates the importance of risk management and timely re-entry in volatile BTC markets. Market participants should note the impact of large short positions on BTC price trends and volatility. (Source: @EmberCN, Twitter, June 22, 2025)

According to @EmberCN on Twitter, @qwatio, known as 'the insider,' entered a public trading duel with @JamesWynnReal on May 21, with @qwatio shorting BTC and James going long. Despite BTC's sustained price rally leading to multiple liquidations and forced reductions in @qwatio's position, he managed to recover all losses and secure profits within a month. This event highlights the volatility and risk management challenges in leveraged BTC trading, and offers real-world insight into resilience and adaptive strategies for crypto traders.

According to @EmberCN, a high-profile ETH whale has maintained a 100% win rate in recent trades, transforming a $3.2M portfolio into $30.05M within one month through four strategic ETH trades. The whale's current 40,000 ETH short position has generated an unrealized profit of $21.56M as of June 22, 2025. Previous trades included two successful long positions, each closed with substantial gains. This significant activity signals a potential shift in market sentiment for ETH (Ethereum), prompting traders to monitor large wallet movements as indicators for short-term price action and volatility.

According to @EmberCN, a major ETH whale or institution just deployed their remaining $30.058 million USDC to buy 13,498 ETH. Over the past 11 days since June 11, this entity has converted a total of $336 million USDC into 132,000 ETH at an average cost of $2,540 per ETH. Currently, they are sitting on an unrealized loss of $39.76 million. This large-scale accumulation and current drawdown may impact short-term ETH market sentiment and provide trading signals for high-volume traders (Source: @EmberCN on Twitter, June 21, 2025).

According to @EmberCN, trader @AguilaTrades experienced a $13.68 million unrealized loss in his third consecutive BTC long position, bringing his total losses to $29.1 million after three failed $400 million-sized Bitcoin trades. His previous attempts included a $12.48 million loss after BTC dropped over $4000 post-entry. This pattern of large-scale, high-leverage loss events highlights continued volatility and potential risk for traders using similar strategies, suggesting caution for those considering large BTC (Bitcoin) positions in the current market environment (source: @EmberCN on Twitter, June 21, 2025).

According to EmberCN on Twitter, a wallet linked to the TRUMP token team transferred 3,527,000 TRUMP tokens, valued at $32.8 million, to Binance 20 minutes ago (source: EmberCN Twitter, June 21, 2025). Such large-scale transfers to exchanges often signal possible selling activity, which can increase supply and put downward pressure on the TRUMP price in the short term. Traders should closely monitor Binance order books and potential changes in TRUMP trading volumes as this movement could lead to heightened volatility and present short-term trading opportunities.

According to @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter, Paradigm has completed the sale of its entire 70 million LDO holdings, achieving a total profit of $28.13 million over a four-year period. The final tranche of 10 million LDO, valued at $7.42 million, was transferred to centralized exchanges (CEXs) 10 hours ago, with further inflows expected in the coming days. Paradigm initially acquired the LDO tokens from the Lido treasury via OTC at $0.76 each, and previously sold 50 million LDO at an average price of $1.31 in November last year. Traders should monitor LDO price volatility and potential sell pressure as tokens continue to enter major CEXs. (Source: @ai_9684xtpa on Twitter)

Traders can accumulate CESS points by completing specific tasks, with these points directly corresponding to the upcoming CESS token airdrop. This event is expected to end in July, after which the CESS token will be launched. For airdrop hunters and crypto traders, this presents a final opportunity to earn CESS tokens pre-TGE, which could impact short-term trading volumes and price action post-listing.

According to @EmberCN, Trend Research, a secondary investment firm under Jackyi (@Jackyi_ld), purchased 9,001 ETH valued at $22.72 million following last night's price drop. The firm reportedly borrowed 42.1 million USDT from Aave, transferred it to Binance, and acquired the ETH, which was subsequently withdrawn from the exchange. Trend Research now holds approximately 182,000 ETH at an average cost of $2,250 per coin, currently sitting on an unrealized gain of about $32.6 million. This aggressive accumulation strategy highlights heightened institutional interest and could drive bullish sentiment for ETH in the short term. (Source: @EmberCN, Twitter, June 21, 2025)

This brings their total Ethereum holdings to approximately 188,000 ETH ($456.9 million), acquired at an average cost of $2,617 per ETH. Currently, the position is at an unrealized loss of around $37.5 million. This significant accumulation by an institutional player can influence short-term ETH market sentiment and liquidity, while the floating loss may affect future trading strategies or trigger further institutional hedging.

According to @EmberCN, a whale or institution with a track record of $30.45 million profit from prior ETH swing trades has accumulated 30,000 ETH (worth $72.32 million) in the last 8 hours following a price dip. The entity moved $58.91 million USDC to Wintermute and $24 million USDC to Coinbase, then withdrew 24,000 ETH from Wintermute and 6,000 ETH from Coinbase. This marks the third major accumulation since June 11, suggesting strong confidence in ETH price recovery. Traders should note the significant on-chain movement and renewed whale activity, which historically precedes short-term bullish momentum for Ethereum (ETH) and could impact broader crypto market sentiment.

According to @EmberCN, traders who took a contrarian position against AguilaTrades' $400 million crypto holdings yesterday saw significant gains as market volatility increased. The large-scale move by AguilaTrades triggered rapid price swings in major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), creating short-term trading opportunities for those monitoring whale activity. Active traders responded to the sudden shift by employing reverse trading strategies, capitalizing on liquidity events and stop-loss triggers (source: @EmberCN on Twitter, June 21, 2025).

According to @EmberCN on Twitter, crypto trader @AguilaTrades increased his BTC long position to over $400 million when Bitcoin was trading around $106,000. Following this move, BTC price experienced a sharp decline, dropping to a low of $102,340. This marks the third time AguilaTrades has triggered a significant BTC price downturn with a large position, underlining the strong market impact of high-leverage trades. Traders should closely monitor large whale activities and leverage flows as they continue to affect Bitcoin's short-term price action and liquidity. Source: @EmberCN Twitter, June 21, 2025.

According to @Trend_Research_, the firm currently holds approximately 177,000 ETH valued at $453 million, with an average cost basis of $2,240 per ETH. Part of this position was acquired using leverage, as they borrowed $230 million USDT from Aave by collateralizing ETH and used the funds to purchase additional ETH, resulting in roughly 2x leverage. The position is currently showing an unrealized profit of about $55 million. This sizable leveraged position and realized profit margin may influence short-term ETH (ETH) price volatility, especially if liquidation or profit-taking occurs. Source: @Trend_Research_ on Twitter.
