According to @EmberCN, the 1inch team’s investment fund has begun on-chain profit-taking, selling 5,000 ETH at an average price of $4,215 for 21.07M USDC, and 6.45M 1INCH at an average $0.28 for 1.80M USDC.

According to @ki_young_ju, Bitcoin whales have recently realized profits, indicating a significant shift in market activity. However, Michael Saylor's ongoing commitment to holding BTC, without any intention to sell, has contributed to sustained bullish sentiment and minimized fears of a bear market. This divergence in trading strategies between large holders and long-term institutional investors may lead to short-term price volatility, but overall market confidence remains supported by Saylor's influential position (source: @ki_young_ju).

According to @ai_9684xtpa, a wallet address that held BNB for 9 months has transferred 4759 BNB, acquired at an average price of $630, to Binance, totaling $3.59 million.

However, compared to BNB's recent high of $861.1, the address missed out on an additional $508,000 in potential profits. This large transfer could signal increased selling pressure and may impact short-term BNB price trends, making it a key event for traders to watch. Source: @ai_9684xtpa

According to Cas Abbé, traders should take partial profits at significant liquidity zones such as previous highs or daily supply levels to maximize gains in the current crypto market.
