A lot of people wonder how it’s possible that huge sells make #bitcoin charts bleed red instantly, while massive buys (like Saylor scooping billions) don’t send it pumping. Here’s why 👇
1️⃣ Execution Style Matters
Market Sell: If someone market-dumps $1B on exchanges, it eats through the buy-side order book → instant red candles.
OTC / Limit Buy: Institutions usually buy through OTC desks or place gradual limit orders. That BTC never hits the exchange books, so the price barely flinches.
2️⃣ Market Depth & Liquidity
Order books aren’t balanced. The buy side is thinner than the sell side most of the time.
A sudden sell slams the thin liquidity → price drops hard.
A big buy is absorbed more smoothly, especially if spread out over time.
3️⃣ Sentiment Effect
A whale dump = panic. Traders see red candles and sell even more → magnifying the drop.
A whale buy isn’t visible on charts unless it’s aggressive. No “green panic” effect.
4️⃣ Off-Exchange Buys
When guys like #Saylor buy billions, it’s usually direct from miners or OTC brokers. That means:
Supply leaves circulation.
No immediate pressure on spot charts.
✅ Bottom line:
It’s not manipulation it’s just how execution works. Sells are loud, buys are quiet. That’s why $1B dumped can nuke the market, but $3B accumulated OTC barely moves the needle.
