Bitcoin has returned to the psychological barrier of $90,000

On the surface, it looks like the bulls are rallying strongly, but when we open the underlying on-chain data, the operation logic of top smart money (Smart Money) is unusually calm:

1️⃣ Whale 0x7aBE... (Wintermute-related address): At the moment it touched 90k, this address did not choose to take profits but transferred 35 million USDC to a derivatives protocol. This is not purely bullish speculation but an establishment of Delta-neutral hedging. Large investors are using the liquidity at 90k to lock in profits and guard against possible fake breakouts.

2️⃣ An ancient whale (0x1c... starting with ): After sleeping for 2 years, it just transferred 500 ETH into a cold wallet, not an exchange.

Objective inference: The current 90k more resembles a “liquidity grab.” The big players are clearing short positions above 89.5k, but spot trading volume has not experienced an explosive increase. This means: before stabilizing above 90.5k, it’s still a game of accumulation and distribution. Don’t rush in when others are excited; stay alert when whales are hedging.
