Per a crypto.news report on Aug. 21, Worldcoin’s 40% plunge below the $1.4 mark put over 92% of its holders at a loss

Data from ITB shows that the number of WLD holders suffering losses has declined to 68% at the reporting time

One of the bullish drivers for the WLD price was the recent announcement from the company. Worldcoin revealed that it launched World ID in three more countries — Guatemala, Malaysia, and Poland.

It’s important to note that price hikes on the back of big announcements have shown to be short-lived. If the whale selloff continues, a price correction would be expected for the WLD price.
