Bitcoin Liquidity Manipulation Claims Surface as BTC Price Stalls

Claims of Bitcoin price manipulation emerge on social media as traders cite liquidity moves, exchange flows, and stalled BTC momentum.

A crypto analyst has shared bold allegations about Bitcoin price manipulation.

The controversy erupted when NoLimitGains posted detailed claims on social media. The analyst alleged that recent Bitcoin price action was not organic. Instead, he claimed it represented a coordinated liquidity operation.

Major Exchanges Allegedly Involved in BTC Price Moves

According to the post, Binance, Coinbase, and Wintermute orchestrated a deliberate pump-and-dump scheme.

NoLimitGains stated that Bitcoin sat in a zone with heavy short interest beforehand. Funding rates had flipped negative. Open interest was elevated. Stop losses were stacked above resistance levels.

The analyst described how large players pushed prices aggressively higher into thin liquidity. However, the goal was not upside continuation. The alleged objective was liquidation of short positions.

“As price ripped, shorts were forced to cover,” the post explained.

That covering became fuel for further upward momentum. Every liquidation added more buy pressure. To observers, it looked like a genuine breakout.

Retail Traders Allegedly Caught in Coordinated Operation

NoLimitGains claimed that while retail traders chased green candles, the same entities providing the initial push were unloading positions.

Large transfers reportedly hit exchanges immediately after the spike. Once short liquidations completed, no real buying interest remained underneath. Price snapped back down just as quickly.

The analyst called this coordinated behavior enabled by entities controlling both liquidity and execution. He labeled such actions illegal but noted that enforcement remains absent.

Meanwhile, another analyst, Daan Crypto Trades, shared a different perspective. His Bitcoin yearly liquidation heatmap showed no interesting levels. The chart indicated that price has gone nowhere this year. Any large clusters were taken out over the past six months.

Daan stated it will take time for larger clusters to build again. This happens as price continues ranging or makes a large high-volume move.

Bitcoin currently trades at $87,536.58, according to CoinGecko data. The price declined 0.25% in the last 24 hours. Over seven days, Bitcoin dropped 2.47%. Trading volume reached $50.5 billion over the same period.

The allegations have not been verified by exchange representatives or regulatory authorities.

Fed’s 25bps cut sparks Bitcoin repricing: October breakout ahead?

Fed’s 25bps cut sparks Bitcoin repricing: October breakout ahead?

The post Fed’s 25bps cut sparks Bitcoin repricing: October breakout ahead? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Journalist Posted: September 18, 2025 Key Takeaways How is BTC reacting to the Fed’s rate cut? Bitcoin is grinding +0.72%, range-bound, with flows measured and a potential long squeeze in play. What’s setting up Bitcoin for year-end? Dovish Fed signals, seasonal tailwinds, and aligned macro flows keep BTC primed for a potential ATH. No parabolic moves, just Bitcoin [BTC] grinding +0.72% intraday as the FOMC delivers its first 25 bps cut of 2025. The tape is cautious, with range-bound action signaling traders are sitting tight. What’s the takeaway? Market participants are still sizing up Q4, with Fed Chair Powell’s mixed signals on future rate cuts keeping flows measured, as Matt Mena, Crypto Research Strategist at 21Shares, told AMBCrypto. “The cut itself was widely priced in – what mattered more was the Fed’s updated dot plot. Futures markets had been discounting only a 50% chance of 4–5 cuts through the end of next year.” He added, “While today’s 25bps cut provided the spark, it is the path implied by the dots – more than the cut itself – that may set the stage for Bitcoin to challenge new highs into year-end.” Fed’s dot plot shapes BTC’s long-term positioning Bitcoin traders are leaning on the Fed’s dot plot to size up positioning.  According to the latest projections, the Fed is signaling two more 25bps cuts by year-end, pushing the target range down to 3.50%–3.75% from 4.00%–4.25%. In short, Bitcoin’s long-term positioning remains dovish. Powell’s inflation caution capped the short-term squeeze, keeping the tape range-bound. Yet the dot plot shows most Fed officials leaning toward two more cuts, keeping BTC positioned to grind toward new highs by year-end. “The dots leaned more dovish, signaling the Fed is open to accelerating the pace of easing if conditions demand it. That repricing risk is now…
