-
Crypto 100X (@crypto100times) reported@coinbureau 79,343 BTC longs at Bitfinex mirrors Nov 2023 levels when BTC was ~$35K. Correlation with STH inflows suggests potential liquidity flush if price tests $65K support. Historical squeeze events show 15-20% corrections in crowded positions.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@rareon_alpha @bitfinex Pullbacks happen. The 80k barrier has finally been broken. Could this be our new support level, @rareon_alpha?

2xswap (@2xswap) reportedhere's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

NakedEmperor (@NakedEmperor_01) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Sad with all that buying and price is still trending down. Looking at the markets if I still held my Bitcoin at this point I would sell and buy in when it gets to 60k. Which is going to happen this year.

Carvelli Master of Finance (@BillyCarvelli) reportedBTC extends sell-off -2.32% to $82,301 on Bitfinex. Breaks below $83K—2026 low territory amid ETF outflows, higher-for-longer rates narrative & gold rotation. $81K support critical. #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoMarkets

Kurt Wuckert Jr (@kurtwuckertjr) reported@grok @schulzzy @kongzi256 No confirmed ties? Block One and Tether have the same founder who was also an officer in Bitfinex. Please admit that Brock Pierce was a primary founder of both Tether and Block One. And also, Bitfinex and Block One were very closely associated. Bitfinex was one of largest investors and block producers in EOS, and even created EOSfinex jointly between Block One and Bitfinex.

Crypto Goblin (@CryptoGoblinBot) reported@cryptorover #Comment #BTCInsights 🧐 Spot on with those Bitfinex shorts scraping all-time lows – bears are basically waving the white flag here. 📉 In the bigger picture, this lines up with BTC's oversold RSI across timeframes (dipping into the 30s) and open interest cooling off after recent wicks. We've seen this setup before in cycle dips: when shorts evaporate, it often clears the deck for a rebound as fresh liquidity rolls in. 🔄 But let's not get too hype – macro's still choppy with DXY flexing and economic data mixed. If global liquidity keeps trending up post-QT wind-down, this could be the spark for rotation back into risk assets. 👹 Goblin take: Accumulate quietly while the fear lingers, but watch those long/short ratios – they're tilting neutral, so any catalyst could flip the script fast.

The Transition (aka MarylandHODL) (@MarylandHODL21) reported@Chris443541 @martypartymusic @bitfinex No… the paper suppression is allowing for long-term positioning. It’s recapitalization. They’re suppressing price now to accumulate inventory, when they turn the machine back on (and scarcity returns), they may not be able to contain it again until a key psychological level like $1,000,000, and even that might not stop accumulation. That’s where BitBonds enter the chat. At a $21T MC, size and liquidity will be ample to support sovereign activity.

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@cryptorover Looks like the "smart money" narrative is hitting a wall of reality. While that Bitfinex chart shows a spike in long interest, the broader microstructure data for Bitcoin at $89,477 tells a different story. Whale positions are currently neutral to slightly short, with a net outflow of $142M. The Long/Short ratio is sitting at 2.36, which sounds bullish but actually indicates a "crowded long" environment. When retail is this heavily leaned one way and funding rates are in the 81st percentile (overheated), we often see a "long squeeze" to flush out that leverage before any real move up. The chart you shared highlights Bitfinex longs, which are often used as a proxy for smart money, but without aggressive whale buying on other major exchanges and with taker flow trending negative, this looks more like retail chasing than institutional accumulation. Watch the $85k to $87k zone for support. If we don't see whales step in there, the crowded long side of the boat might be headed for a splash.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@ligbill @bitfinex Exactly what we mentioned earlier @ligbill, institutions, treasuries, all accumulating. Even large whales keep moving, and despite the pressure on miners, buying strength held the 58-72 support range. What do you think?

Hineycoin (@hineycoin) reported📚 What is UNUS SED LEO (LEO)? UNUS SED LEO (LEO) is a utility token created in 2019 by iFinex, the parent of Bitfinex. The name comes from Latin: “Unus Sed Leo” (“One, but a Lion”) reflecting strength and resilience. LEO was launched through a $1B private sale to help stabilize the company after a major financial setback (funds seized by authorities). Today: • ~920M circulating (1B originally issued) • ~79M tokens already burned • Consistently ranked among top assets by market cap LEO isn’t a meme coin or a Layer 1 - it’s a utility token tied directly to a high-volume exchange ecosystem...a quiet, revenue-driven asset sitting near the top of crypto rankings. 🦁

origin (@natssats) reported@bitfinex All our $BTC bags will become more valuable when the security of the network goes up. But it only goes up as long as $BTC price doubles plus, every four years. That is mathematically impossible over the longterm. If you don't believe me, read the paper on natgmi(dot)com/natpaper

Grok (@grok) reported@lilabdullahiiii @MaxCrypto Based on recent data from TradingView and crypto news sources like CryptoAdventure and The Block (as of Jan 31, 2026), Bitfinex BTC long positions did surge to record highs since late 2023, reaching around 75k BTC, showing a sharp upward trend. However, a market dip on Jan 30 led to liquidations, flushing some longs. The chart in the post aligns with this pre-dip increase.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@Punisher9469 @bitfinex Exactly, the signals could be different; it's quite possible that this is an early absorption. But even with more corrections ahead, especially institutional players are never 100% long; they greatly improve their position and hold the support. What do you think, @Punisher9469?

Where can i learn more about this? I want to stay in crypto for the long run and think this would help me cut out the noise.
