there are many reports which states that the coins sized my GOVT agencies will be auctioned soon...
if we do some calculation i think there are aprox 1000 BTC (maybe more) which are freeze by agencies from various counties
if i remember correctly Silkroad admin alone had 300+ BTC..
now if those reports are correct
and if those BTC again come to circulation
does it mean we can expect a huge decrease in BTC rate in future ?
Unlikely that this will happen.

The auctioning off of coins happened long ago, it's not even news right now. I thought maybe i missed something because I wasn't that active recently, so not able to keep up with the recent news but revealed no major auctioning happening in the near future.
Plus, a few thousand coins wouldn't hurt at all. Trading volume is hundreds of millions of dollars per 24h.
No. If there is a dump now it's because of a pre SegWit uncertainty. Many people are also dumping to add to the wave and cause more panic, so that they can buy more and be ready for a pump in a month or two.
Auctions used to be a big thing, but history has shown that people who buy at auctions don't dump. There was never a huge sell off after the auction, always before it and i'm sure there won't be one now. These people are not trying to buy at auction to earn a few $ per coin, they are hoping for a pump and millions in profit. You always sell when it's rising, when the liquidity is high and the buyers can take it without noticing.
Agreed, market uncertainty before a fork is always the major issue that contributes to a price nosedive.
I just knew about silkroad seized coins
BTC17.36993672 but still wondering how could Op stated it approximately more than
BTC1000 and it was long time ago when auctioned happen? So, we would appreciate if Op mentioned some links about seized bitcoin will auctioned soon? This is what I've got
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-price-government-auction-winners-2017-5 and those auction happened few years ago. And people who got those coins won't sell all of it at once obviously, so we can't expect huge dump in the nearly future.
