Highlights
- Several traders are looking to rake in profits from the recent market surge.
- A trader dumped his entire PEPE, FLOKI, and WLD holdings.
- This comes after the Federal Reserve cut policy rates for the first time in four years.
A crypto whale has sold his entire Pepe coin, FLOKI, and Worldcoin holdings amid the recent price surge in the market. The digital asset market notched increased sentiments following interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. However, some users point to profit taking which can reduce the projected uphill movement.
PEPE Whale Dumps Assets
A digital asset whale has sold his holdings in three assets raking in profit. On-chain data shows the trader has sold $3.2 million in PEPE, FLOKI, and WLD making a $200,000 profit. The whale raked in $110,000 from Pepe coin holdings while netting $45,000 and $44,000 from FLOKI and WLD respectively.
According to crypto analysts, the trader suffered losses at some point to due price swings after Bitcoin traded below $55K. The drop in Bitcoin price sparked a decline in altcoins and meme coins as the wider market faced a slight correction. Following the Federal Reserve’s decision to slash policy rates by 50 BPS on Sept 18, prices of crypto assets surged leading to traders looking to make a profit.
Generally, whale movements send a bearish signal to the market due to their total number of holdings with smaller traders moving in the same direction. Recently, the market has seen similar movements from traders to reposition assets amid price swings. This week, an Ethereum whale dumped $38 million worth of ETH sparking negative pressure.
What’s Next For The Assets?
The crypto market is soaring off the Fed’s decision to cut interest rates. Several traditional investors projected growth in the market after the September rate cuts as funds flow to risky assets. At press time, the total market cap is up 6% with the market cap hitting $2.1 trillion. In the last 24 hours, PEPE surged 13%, alongside other meme coins.
FLOKI price is up 10% in the same time frame while Worldcoin moved up 8%. Most commentators point to increased gains in the price of crypto assets as macro factors flip positive.
