The previous ATH of Bitcoin before its current ATH was around $65k in April 2021. And after that, the price of bitcoin suddenly dropped but due to the hype, many investors were encouraged, creating another ATH which is our current ATH $69k. Many thought that the price of Bitcoin will reached $100k, so many of the investors bought around $69k, but what happened?
There was a sudden dump in the price that plugged many investors. And many of them who bought around 69k price were still holding their Bitcoin today. Maybe they think that if Bitcoin reaches this price, it's time for them to sell. It is certain that there will be selling pressure when the price of Bitcoin reaches such a level.
The scenerio you are trying to explain is that those who bought at ATH of $69k in 2021 who are still hodling will be in a haste to rush out... But I don't think so.
If there will be selling pressure at that level of 69k, I don't think it will be because of rushing out of 2021 hodlers but it could be because of panic by weak hands who fear that such level will become a resistance and price could bounce back and start dropping again, so they might not want to wait but to dump at that level as faster as they can and run out, and such action might cause price to start dropping because of such spontaneous sell as everyone will be at alert.
Well going by last bull that got the $69k in 2021, the drop was sudden and just when you could know what was happening it was already around $54k.
So I think the bull run didn't last and for the 2021 hodlers, instead of being in a haste to run off, they might hodl longer to maximize their 2/3 years investment profit.
If you are those people or investors who had been able to buy when the price is on its peak then ending up on holding because you've seen negative into your portfolio then it would really be that requiring that
tough mental strength and that discipline on holding your position specially that you are really that needing to hold for long because we know that each cycle does last 4 year cycle but if you are that someone who do lack knowledge and experience on this market then you would really be have long time on making that cut loss but for those who are really that wary about the situation then for sure you would really be holding still
and strong and its not that all people would be doing the same thing. There would really be those people who would really just simply panic.
Selling pressure would really be there and if you arent that having that strong mental state then for sure you would really be ending up on selling but if not then you are still holding your position
and do even make that DCA on which it would really be just that a common approach. We know that the market cant really be just like this forever on which it would really be just that normal
or wise to think that recovery would really be always next in line.
