11 crypto tweets that actually made people money

Here are real, time-stamped crypto tweets where on-chain or flow analysts flagged a move before it happened (or while it was unfolding) and traders could act. Let’s dissect why the signal worked.

1) Charles Edwards: Hash Ribbons Buy (Jan 2023)

Hash Ribbons flips bullish after miner capitulation ends; historically, this precedes strong BTC uptrends by signaling miners are done forced-selling. BTC rallied for months after this 2023 signal.

Hash Ribbon buy confirmed. The signal date was the second lowest price in the last 48 days. Our December newsletter: "a price low typically forms during the capitulation and before we see hash rate recover. Sometimes the first candle of the miner capitulation is the price low." https://t.co/cjj9wXQNtM

2) Ki Young Ju: Coinbase Premium turns bullish (Feb 16, 2021)

A positive “Coinbase premium” shows aggressive U.S. spot demand (institutions/whales) paying above other venues. Right after BTC broke $50k, Ki said “we can go higher now”—and we did.

This $50k battle is about Coinbase whales(USD) vs. Stablecoin whales(USDT).

Negative Coinbase premium, but plentiful stablecoins in exchanges. Negative premium should be cooled down to get another leg up.

3) Hildobby: US Spot BTC ETF net inflows surge (Mar 1, 2024)

Persistent ETF net inflows create structural spot demand that soaks sell pressure. Tracking this flow kept traders long into the ATH run.

4) Willy Woo: SOPR & “investors unwilling to sell” (Dec 15, 2023)

SOPR hovering >1 with rising profit-taking capacity but limited distribution = supply tightness. Woo flagged a “buy-the-dip, not trend reversal” regime weeks before further upside.

#Bitcoin investors are waiting for higher prices, presently unwilling to sell.

SOPR tracks the profit of coins when they sell to new investors. It climbed while price dropped, for this to happen only investors at signficant profit are selling, more recent investors are waiting. pic.twitter.com/Z18W3V36sV

5) Dylan LeClair: GBTC discount narrows (ETF odds up) (Oct 17, 2023)

The GBTC discount shrinking toward NAV implied rising odds of spot ETF approval. Positioning with that structural repricing set traders up for the 2024 ETF-driven bull leg.

$GBTC discount now at -13.11%, the closest it has traded to net asset value since December 2021. pic.twitter.com/RVekc3xF5J

6) Arkham: German Government BTC dump alerts (July 2024)

Real-time wallet tags showed Berlin sending seized BTC to exchanges/market makers. Traders front-ran sell pressure (or bought the final capitulation when Arkham later noted they were “out of Bitcoin”).

UPDATE: German Government selling up to 2375 BTC ($137.87M)

In the past hour, the German Government has sent 2375 BTC ($137.87M) to Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, 139Po (likely institutional deposit/OTC service) and address bc1qu.

Since yesterday’s movements, the German Government… pic.twitter.com/2T57FPbAer

7) Whale Alert: Mt. Gox huge transfers (May 28, 2024)

The first monster, Mt. Gox, moved telegraphed imminent overhang; price dipped as fear hit. Watching these alerts lets you reduce risk, short the flush, or buy back when distribution slows.

8) Lookonchain: Whale deposits BTC before a drop (Apr 22, 2025)

Big, aged coins moving to Binance is classically bearish short-term—supply hitting the book. This alert landed hours before a multi-percent pullback.

A trader deposited 395 $BTC($26.3M) to #Binance for sale before #Bitcoin prices dropped 4 hours ago.

This trader bought 536 $BTC($35.15M) at $63,729 from Apr 5 to Apr 18, then sold it at $66,530 in the last 2 days, making ~$1.5M.

9) Santiment: Altcoin MVRV deep in pain zone (Aug 2, 2024)

Negative MVRV = holders under water; historically, mean-revert bounces follow across a basket. This watchlist call captured a broad alt relief rally afterward.

10) James Van Straten: ETF flow-to-BTC accumulation math (Jun 7, 2024)

He quantified net BTC absorbed by ETFs over rolling windows; when flows re-accelerated after a slump, it front-ran upside as supply tightened again.

Yup the market is way bigger than the ETFs.

Even after seeing $1.4B of inflows over the past 2 days.

Over the past 30 days we’ve seen on a net basis 71k #Bitcoin accumulated with 13k BTC on a monthly issuance.

5.5x monthly issuance

But many cohorts are in distribution as… https://t.co/CFAeZ6AxCn pic.twitter.com/g3SX0M0RwO

11) Lookonchain: US Gov → Coinbase Prime transfer (Jun 26–27, 2024)

Government wallets moving BTC to sell venues = headline risk & short-term pressure. Traders hedged or de-risked into the move, then faded the fear once selling abated.

Note that the US government wallets deposited 3,940 $BTC($241.22M) into #Coinbase Prime 5 minutes ago.

The US government currently holds 213,546 $BTC($13.07B). pic.twitter.com/CAc87E2xFa
