Industry insiders point out that large traders have accumulated a significant amount of Bitcoin, estimated to account for 23% of the total Bitcoin circulation. The implications behind this sell-off could be quite significant, representing a bearish outlook on Bitcoin prices from seasoned players. However, the CEO of CryptoQuant stated that Bitcoin demand seems to be stable, which is insufficient to classify the market as a bearish market.

Analysts at Tagus Capital indicated that the initial disappointment with the U.S. government's strategic Bitcoin reserves affected trading sentiment. Concerns about Bitcoin as a strategic reserve may have been exaggerated, and the U.S. government may purchase Bitcoin in a manner that does not exceed the budget, while other countries will also accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
