Long-term Bitcoin holders have sold over 728,000 BTC in the past 30 days, according to data from CryptoQuant. This figure is equivalent to nearly 67.5 billion USD at current prices.

"This is the largest sell-off since April," the company stated in a post on X. This also marks a reversal from the strong buying trend in October, when the market saw a positive cash flow of nearly 250,000 BTC.

This strong sell-off comes amid a booming crypto market following the election of President Donald Trump, who expressed support for the blockchain industry during his campaign. Notably, BTC prices surged and set an all-time high, just a few USD shy of hitting the 100,000 USD mark.

Bitcoin's dominance, a measure of its market share in the total crypto market capitalization, is currently around 51%, down from a recent peak of over 60%, according to data from TradingView.

Lessons from 2021 about Bitcoin's volatility

In a post on X, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju emphasized the nature of the bull market that Bitcoin is experiencing. The article serves as a reminder to Bitcoin investors about how the market has historically behaved at similar times and what could happen.

Ki referred to Bitcoin's historic price surge in 2021, when BTC rose from 17,000 USD to 64,000 USD. He emphasized that during that rally, there were several strong corrections, causing prices to drop by up to 30%.

He also noted that this is a natural part of Bitcoin's price movement, even in an uptrend.

Risk management in a bull market

The CEO of CryptoQuant clarified that his article is not intended to predict an impending price correction but rather a general observation of Bitcoin's market volatility. Notably, minor corrections still frequently occur, even when prices are rising.

However, Ki urges investors to manage risks sensibly. He suggested that investors should not panic sell during temporary dips, which are often mistaken for signs of a bull market's end.

Young Ju referred to this as a 'local bottom,' which could provide opportunities for long-term investors.

Bitcoin is still in an uptrend

Although Young Ju asserts that Bitcoin is still in a bullish phase, at the time of writing, BTC had lost 1.6% of its value in the past 24 hours, currently trading at 92,600 USD.

Previously, the currency had dropped to 91,500 USD. Despite the volatility, trading volume surged 54.20% to 88.72 billion USD, indicating some investors still believe in Bitcoin's potential.

However, these fluctuations have caused panic among other investors, leading to a wave of sell-offs to mitigate losses if prices continue to decline.
