However, not in this cycle, so yes, the whales are buying and we might not know the reasons. Perhaps we have seen the capitulation already as there was a lot of post about it specially X and it followed how this buying not just the whales but perhaps average joe investor as well.
As somebody who sees Bitcoin getting pumped and dumped by double-digit percentage IN JUST A SINGLE DAY, this isn't surprising anymore for me. I'll be surprised if this happens for no reason whatsoever, but this time, the FED stepped up to do some buybacks.
You know what surprises me more? The fact that there are threads here that are being created stating that "We are in a bull run" or "Is this the pump that we are waiting for the bull run to happen".

Like they completely forgot that we are still in a bear market and these folks are acting like they're complete newbies. I might get ragebaited by those thread, but that's fine.

Anyway, I guess this is the time that I will say that we've already seen the bottom with Bitcoin reaching as low as $58,000. This pump might be the final reason for me why Bitcoin will not touch $50,000 anymore at least in this bear market cycle.
I also don't know the exact reasons, but one obvious one is because the whales are taking this as an opportunity for them to accumulate at a much lower price because they believe that in a few years time, the price will go up and POSSIBLY double their money.
