FLOKI Climbs 6% Despite Crypto Whale Major Sell-Off

Despite the 17.7 Billion token sell-off by the wallet yfimaxi.eth, FLOKI proved quite resilient, gaining 6% despite it. The unexpected price strength shows that growing demand was able to absorb the added supply

Whale Actions Spark Market Buzz as Analysts Share Bullish FLOKI Outlook

The wallet of yfimaxi.eth moved 17.7 Billion FLOKI tokens, valued at $2.56 Million, into Binance approximately nine hours ago. One thing is, the significant selloff  would create downward pressure on the token’s price as the supply on the exchange increased.

Even with such a large sale, FLOKI’s price failed to budge and in fact saw a 6% gain for the same day. That resilience suggests that the new market demand was robust enough to soak up the inflow and that there was growing confidence in the token among both retail and institutional investors.

The signal it sends to the market is also quite strong. When a large wallet like yfimaxi.eth, who invested a lot in the token after the recent price rise, starts to show exit of the position, it could imply that that individual investor doesn’t trust that position for long.

Meanwhile, a bullish setup for FLOKI was spotted by technical analysts’ radar as the cryptocurrency breaks its way out of a falling wedge. According to the analysis by Captain Faibik, this breakout could usher in further upward momentum.

If FLOKI does break out of the falling wedge pattern, then it is expected to be followed by a 34.81% gain according to typical market expectations, with the token currently targeting the price of $0.00056.

If the bullish momentum keeps on, FLOKI could aim for further upside as technical forecasts show the ability to reach $0.0003. For traders, this level lines up with previous resistance that may be an entry point for Floki following its recent breakout.
