Did the market really absorb $9B whale sale?

I read the news. 9 billion in sales plus people panic selling PLUS people selling to live, and the market absorbed it with a minor fall in price? Is this right?

Im telling my non-bitcoin buddy how if some whale sold 9B in royal bank shares (im in canada) how far those shares would go down.

I mean wow did we luck out that btc didn't dump back down to 90k.
