Anytime the price of Bitcoin skyrockets, there would be massive selling of Bitcoin and this practice(s) have always lead to the price of Bitcoin falling back afterwards. During the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, it was observed that the massive selling of Bitcoin when the price got to $48,000 made the price to fall to $38,000, it was after the corrections that the price began to soar higher again till now that it has set a new ATH of about $69,210 and immediately, massive selling and withdrawal of Bitcoin was also noticed.
Wouldn't this continues practice of withdrawing and selling off whenever the price skyrockets going to slow the volatility of Bitcoin to continue skyrocketing? Since the price automatically starts experiencing a dip after every massive withdrawal.
Don't expect the market to move straight up without any correction. If you are old in Bitcoin
BTC, you would have known that bitcoin
BTC always takes a nice reasonable correction before moving another leg up. This is true in both bull and bear markets. In the bear market when the price is moving down, it does not dip in a straight line, rather it will keep touching every resistance before moving further down. If you know the concept of higher highs and higher lows, then I am sure you will understand how to read the market.
Also, there are not only long term investors in the market but there are short to mid term traders too who will surely take profits at the current top and will buy back at the bottom. The market's pump and dump is normal however if there is any bad news, like any big exchange hack or something, then we may see a big price correction which may indicate a reversal in the market.
Yeah, then what? do you really hold Bitcoin until you die and never sell any single satoshi? you can show your address here to prove me wrong.
I keep accumulate Bitcoin, hold and haven't sell it even Bitcoin already reach $69K, but it doesn't mean I won't sell my coins when Bitcoin cross $100K, $200K etc. There will be a time I sell my coins in order to accumulate more coins during bear season or I need big cash on emergency needs.
For sure people will take profits along the way. Also, people are anticipating sell from certain key level and they place the short orders in advance. I think the OP needs to understand trading better in order to understand the movement of the bitcoin
BTC.
