After rallying over 170% from June 2023 lows, there are signs that
Maker (MKR) bulls are losing momentum, looking at price action and
decisions by various whales acting via an intermediary. At spot
rates, MKR is changing hands at near 2023 highs but is down 16%
from October highs. Maker (MKR) Is Selling Off: The Bull Run
Is Over? MKR is dumping at an unexpectedly faster pace, reversing
gains posted in early Q4 2023, a concern. According to The Data
Nerd, Falcon X sent 5,690 MKR worth $8.52 million to multiple
exchanges, mainly OKX and Binance, at an average price of
$1,497. Typically, whenever crypto whales begin sending
tokens to centralized ramps, as currently is the case, it can be
interpreted as bearish. That whales are moving their coins to
exchanges could indicate that they are planning to liquidate and
exit their position. Subsequently, this can dent sentiment, forcing
the token to dump. However, the timeliness of the
transfer also matters. In some instances, tokens can be moved to
exchanges and interpreted as bullish. This is because, depending on
the situation, whales could move them to provide liquidity for
other traders. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Team Member Clarifies

The platform provides institutional investors access to liquidity
and execution services. Notably, Falcon X has, in the past, been
used by other crypto exchanges and liquidity providers to offer
other services. Since it acts on behalf of institutions and whales,
it cannot be ascertained which of its clients is selling MKR.
As of October 27, The Data Nerd statistics show that the platform
holds 10,150 MKR worth $14.17 million at spot rates. Following the
transfer, the tracker also shows that MKR is down 4%. The “End
Game” Pumps MKR To New Highs, A Pull Back Incoming? Presently, MKR
remains under pressure. As mentioned earlier, the token, though in
an uptrend, rallying 170% in four months, is down 15% from
October’s peaks. At the same time, there is a double top, a
technical formation that may signal a local top. This pattern will
only be invalidated if there is a sharp expansion above $1,650.
Conversely, losses below $1,350 at the back of high participation
levels could catalyze the sell-off. In May 2023, MakerDAO, the
issuer of MKR–the governance token of the underlying borrowing and
lending protocol, announced the launch of the “End Game.” Herein,
the protocol plans to deploy on its independent blockchain,
introduce new features, and launch two tokens. Related

market and burning them without needing to close any collateralized
