The post Bitcoin Price Crash: Are Long-Term Holders Secretly Preparing for a Major Breakout? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin has recently experienced a significant drop, with its current trading price at $66,568. This decline is partly due to many investors selling their Bitcoin to capitalize on rising values, resulting in a noticeable dip. However, skepticism in the market is growing, and many investors doubt Bitcoin’s potential for a bull run, with some even lowering their expectations.
Long Term Holders Selling BTC
According to Kyledoops, Bitcoin bull markets typically increase sell-side pressure as long-term holders cash in on higher prices. In March and April, many investors sold their Bitcoin to take advantage of rising values, leading to a noticeable dip in the supply of Bitcoin last active for over one and two years.

Recently, however, this trend has slowed, suggesting that more investors are now choosing to hold onto their Bitcoin rather than sell. This change suggests that Bitcoin holders are now more inclined to keep their assets rather than sell, possibly in anticipation of further price increases or to avoid potential losses from market volatility.
Overall, it appears that while some investors took advantage of rising prices to sell their holdings, others are now choosing to hold onto their Bitcoin, expecting future gains.
Analyst Predicts Major Breakout
Despite the current bearish sentiment, crypto analyst Jelle believes that the tide could be about to turn. According to Jelle, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been aggressively accumulating Bitcoin, reflecting strong institutional interest. This increased accumulation, coupled with chart patterns that are showing signs of readiness to break out, points to a potential surge in Bitcoin’s price.

Jelle’s analysis reveals that Bitcoin is moving within a pattern known as a descending broadening wedge channel. This pattern often signals that a big price move is on the horizon.
If Bitcoin breaks out of this pattern, it could lead to a dramatic rise in its price, potentially reaching new all-time highs.
