OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 40 points despite being ill and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-105 on Wednesday night in an NBA Cup Game. Gilgeous-Alexander, who was listed as questionable on the injury report, made 12 of 19 field goals and 15 of 17 free throws. Oklahoma City won its 10th straight and became just the fifth team in NBA history to start a season 18-1. The Thunder improved to 4-0 in West Group A and are well-positioned to reach the knockout round. Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 20 points in 91 consecutive games, the third-longest streak in NBA history behind two streaks by Wilt Chamberlain. Gilgeous-Alexander can match Chamberlain’s second-place run of 92 straight on Friday against Phoenix. Anthony Edwards had 31 points and eight rebounds and kept the Timberwolves in the game by making several difficult shots, but couldn’t stop Minnesota from losing its third straight. Minnesota made just 22 of 37 free throws. It was a rematch of the Western Conference finals series last season that the Thunder won 4-1. Last time the Timberwolves visited the Paycom Center, they got beat 124-94 in Game 5 as the Thunder clinched the West. Oklahoma City’s Kenrich Williams, who had not played this season because of a left knee injury, got his first action in the first quarter. The Thunder led 24-17 at the end of the opening quarter. It was Minnesota’s second-lowest point total in any quarter this season. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 19 points in the first half to help the Thunder take a 49-39 lead. Minnesota rallied in the third quarter and tied it at 54 and again at 56, but the Thunder took a 78-71 lead into the fourth. Minnesota was within one in the final minute after Edwards made a contested 3-pointer, but Chet Holmgren’s corner three put the Thunder up four with 38 seconds remaining. Oklahoma City outscored Minnesota 8-1 in the last 60 seconds. Up next Timberwolves: Host Boston on Saturday. Thunder: Host Phoenix on Friday night. ___ AP NBA:.

Bitcoin pays the price as OG whales take profits: More losses ahead?

**Key Takeaways**

**What is the main factor driving the recent sharp price decline in Bitcoin?**
Bitcoin OGs and Megawhales have been aggressively selling, offloading over 17,000 BTC and increasing the supply available for selling.

**What is Bitcoin’s short-term resistance and critical support level?**
BTC must breach the $111,513 resistance for a rebound or risk dropping below the $106,124 support level to $103,571.

Since hitting $116K a week ago, Bitcoin (BTC) has faced massive downside pressure, dropping to a low of $106K. At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $107,758, down 2.79% on the daily charts.

Amid this bearish market sentiment, long-term large holders have accelerated the downtrend by increasing the supply available for immediate selling.

### Bitcoin OGs Are Dumping

As Bitcoin struggles, three OGs have sold a combined 17,265 BTC, considerably reducing their holdings. According to Lookonchain:

– Bitcoin OG (1011short) deposited 13,000 BTC, worth $1.48 billion, onto exchanges including Kraken, Binance, Coinbase, and Hyperliquid.
– Whale Owen Gunden sold 3,265 BTC worth $364.5 million on Kraken.
– Insider whale 19D5 (Hyperunit seller) sold 1,000 BTC through Kraken and has moved a total of 2,455 BTC into Kraken and Hyperunit, reducing his holdings to 35,800 BTC.

### Megawhales Selling Intensifies

These three whales are not isolated cases. Megawhales have been aggressively selling as well. According to Checkonchain:

– On November 2nd, Megawhale balance change surged to 32.6K BTC before dropping to 23.4K BTC on November 3rd.
– In total, Megawhales deposited 56,000 BTC into exchanges, exceeding their withdrawals, which indicates intense selling pressure.

Typically, aggressive selling by Megawhales reflects a lack of market conviction as they anticipate further downside. Increased exchange deposits from this group raise the supply available for immediate selling, accelerating the risk of further price declines.

### What’s Next for BTC?

According to AMBCrypto, Bitcoin’s sharp decline amid aggressive whale selling positions it for potentially more losses. Historically, increased selling by whales has led to lower prices.

If Megawhales and OGs continue dumping, BTC could breach the critical support at $106,124 and drop further toward $103,571. Conversely, if retail investors—especially smaller holders (shrimp)—increase their accumulation pace, they could provide some support.

Such retail-driven support could position BTC for a rebound toward the $111,513 resistance level. However, this rebound largely depends on positive macroeconomic data hitting the market.

—

**Summary:**
Bitcoin’s recent sharp price decline is largely driven by heavy selling from OGs and Megawhales, who have offloaded over 17,000 BTC, increasing selling pressure. The key levels to watch are $111,513 on the upside and $106,124 on the downside. Continued whale selling risks pushing BTC below support, while increased retail buying could help stabilize and rebound prices if supported by favorable macroeconomic conditions.

### Summary

Willdan Group, Inc. (WLDN) is rated a **Buy** with a $120 price target, implying a 25% upside driven by strong demand related to energy and AI sectors. In Fiscal Quarter 2 of 2025, WLDN delivered a double-beat performance with revenue up 23% and earnings per share (EPS) nearly tripling, reflecting robust growth on both the top and bottom lines.

Despite trading at a premium forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, WLDN appears undervalued on a price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) basis. Future growth prospects in data centers and electrification initiatives support further upside potential. The company is well-positioned to benefit from rising U.S. electricity demand and a booming AI data center market, justifying a bullish outlook.
