Wintermute Exits Bitcoin Position Before $90,000 Breakdown: Buys The Dip

Wintermute, a trading firm, has sold all of its Bitcoin holdings as the cryptocurrency dropped below $90,000. This follows a pattern of strategic selling by Wintermute, raising questions about market sentiment and potential insider information. The firm has been consistently exiting Bitcoin positions before significant price drops, and their recent liquidation coincided with Bitcoin breaking below the critical $90,000 support level. The timing becomes more suspicious when examining a large BTC transfer to Wintermute before their selling activity. Wintermute's current portfolio structure, with a high percentage of stablecoin holdings, suggests they may be positioning themselves to acquire assets at lower price levels. Wintermute's role as a liquidity provider creates a gray area for their activities, as they balance exchange books and provide liquidity, but the timing and scale of their trading moves suggest potential privileged information flows. Their activities raise serious questions about market manipulation, extending beyond Bitcoin to other assets in their portfolio.
