Bitcoin News Today: "Large Investor Moves Indicate Crypto Market's 'Intense Fear' Could Precede a Rebound"

- Crypto whales and institutional traders are accumulating $19.94M in BTC and $18.71M in ETH via leveraged longs despite market declines. - Crypto Fear & Greed Index hit record low of 21, reflecting extreme panic among retail and institutional investors since October 30. - Bitcoin faces critical $108,000 support level, with technical analysis showing potential for $104k decline or $114k rebound by mid-November. - Market dynamics show institutional optimism contrasting retail fear, with whale activity seen

Even as the broader market experiences a downturn, major crypto holders are actively increasing their positions in

and , reflecting optimism for a market rebound. Blockchain data from Hyperliquid, reviewed by Lookonchain, shows that several prominent investors have opened leveraged long trades worth tens of millions of dollars. For example, trader 0x9553 took a 40x leveraged long on 179.59 (about $19.94 million), while wallet 0x6988 added $1.95 million in to initiate a 25x long on 4,743 ETH (approximately $18.71 million), as detailed in a . These actions suggest that these traders view the recent FOMC-induced selloff as a short-term event rather than a fundamental shift to bearish conditions.

Despite this, overall market sentiment remains deeply negative. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index—which aggregates volatility, trade volume, social media buzz, and other indicators—dropped to 21 on November 4, marking its lowest point since inception, according to

. This comes after a steep fall from 42 on November 3 and 51 on October 30, highlighting increasing anxiety among both retail and institutional participants, as shown in and . Alternative Data notes that the index is calculated with 25% weight on volatility and trading volume, 15% on social media and surveys, and 10% on Bitcoin dominance and Google Trends, according to a . The current low score points to shrinking liquidity and increased risk of capitulation, leading traders to tighten their risk controls.

Bitcoin News Today:

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin is at a pivotal support level near $108,000. Analysis from Coinpedia indicates that if the price falls below the $107,200–$106,600 range, it could accelerate losses toward $104,000. Conversely, a move above $110,500 could set up a test of the $114,000 resistance by mid-November. The ongoing accumulation by whales and leveraged long trades may help stabilize the market, but the outcome will depend on macroeconomic developments and potential FOMC policy adjustments.

The divergence between the optimism of large investors and the prevailing fear among the broader market illustrates a familiar market pattern. As retail traders pull back, institutional players are preparing for a potential upswing, banking on the cyclical behavior of crypto assets. "Periods of intense fear often create buying opportunities for those with a long-term outlook," one analyst commented, though they cautioned that the index's current "Extreme Fear" reading warrants vigilance, as highlighted in the BitcoinWorld analysis.
