Massive withdrawal of Bitcoin

[Btcdeybodi]

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.

You should know that it is not everybody that withdraws their bitcoin from exchanges, that are selling it. Some people are withdrawing to their noncustodial wallet to keep their bitcoin in their control, as the halving is close and the value of bitcoin is increasing , because it is expected that the halving will also skyrocket the price of bitcoin.

No matter how many bitcoin is sold per day, that will not stop bitcoin price from pumping, because it will only last for a short term. We saw after ETF was approved, and Mt. Gox sold a lot of bitcoin, but what happened later here we are in 65k, and the price reached 69k,before falling back to this price. We are in the bull market, and it will continue to be bullish, because bitcoin is designed that way. Bear and Bull

I mean, that's how markets in general work? An asset's price pumps(bitcoin or not), some people will be taking profit, and the price is likely to have a correction after. What will make an asset's price more stable is mostly more market participants.

[Despairo]

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.

Yes, this is the basic economics. The coins are limited in numbers. That is the price of the coin increases when more people buy the coins. Now once the price goes up, many people start selling the coins. Hence the price goes down and we see a correction in the price. This circle goes on like this and it’s pretty common I must say. Long term holders always wait for opportunities like this, and they make good profits from it.

There might be a possibilities that massive withdrawal might happen but I think its not going to happen anytime soon and I think the holding power of people will continue until the end of this year since there is a good event which has been awaited to happen by all bitcoin holders for years. And to many believe that even if we reach the ATH there's still a chance that we can see it to reach at $100,000. But if you are not confident and still afraid then do what you think can give you a peace of mind and execute your withdrawal.

Maybe you need to see something and experience it so that you can increase your patience to wait for something good to happen. Although all of it will just be a gamble but for sure all of waiting game especially for those long time holders patience will be worth it.

It's not automatic but it comes from people's greediness and their leveraged positions. Funding rates soar because of their leveraged positions and funding rates were reset with corrections.

Overzealous people with their high leverages were liquidated by exchanges. Now after the correction, the market is more healthy and I really believe it is ready to go sideway for a while before rising again.

You can not stop people to use leverages so they will be liquidated again and help the market to have healthy corrections again.

[blckhawk]

You should've been used to it by now, these people that are doing massive bitcoin withdrawals are mostly long-term hodlers than want to take profit right now or those that are speculating that a massive price dump is soon to happen so they try to get out now while they've got a generous amounts of profit and then wait for the price to go down so they can go back again. You should actually be thankful for them because if they're doing this right now, it's probably high time to prepare for something big to happen. Also these people don't really mind withdrawing huge amounts of bitcoin to take profit because most of these people are probably rich enough that they don't mind missing out on potentially bigger profits if they just hodl out a bit longer.

For someone who has less experience, this moves becomes a reason to worry, but for those who are not new to crypto space, they know that whales are buying and moving their bitcoin off the exchanges, which is the best thing they can do to avoid some instant exchange hacks and other problems, it's not always a selling point when massive withdrawal is ongoing on any crypto exchanges, most times they are good signs.
There is also a possibility that people are taking profits and that's no issue at all, some people bought btc at the very high in 2022 before the market collapse, and now that the price is once again at the price, they will surely take some profits, you should not worry yourself about this moves at all and this won't stop bitcoin from making a new all time high in the near future.

Many people who long the market have lost millions, I read online that a massive 1 billion dollars was lost when traders expected bitcoin to go past 68k days ago and it went down unexpectedly, do not let all these be a distraction for you.

Don't expect the market to move straight up without any correction. If you are old in BitcoinBTC, you would have known that bitcoinBTC 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 bitcoinBTC.

That makes the market to be a good market, as far as the fall is not greater than the rise. As for bitcoin, the rise is significantly greater than the market correction.

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.

Not that people were selling when United States of America SEC approved bitcoin ETF, it was because of some liquidation of BTC. But companies like BlackRock bought some, but the selling still resulted to price of bitcoin falling at the time.

I do not really understand what you mean as volatility, likely you mean adoption. Just know that the selling after massive price increase is good as far as the selling is not significant like the buying.

You already have the answer in your question. Why did so many people sell bitcoin when bitcoin reached $48k and then caused bitcoin to drop to $38k, but why was bitcoin able to reach $69k so people kept dumping to let bitcoin go down again? In just a short time bitcoin has increased from 48k$ to 69k$, doesn't that prove that bitcoin is rising? What else do you want from bitcoin? Want bitcoin to go from $69K to $1M without any drop or dumping?

It’s pretty nomal that many will sell their holdings of the price skyrocketing because it’s the perfect timing to take profit. I’m not sure how you do your trade but you should do the same if you purchased on the bottom and already profited a lot. Price will not continuously to rise since there’s always a trader that purchase on the bottom of the current price.

Those new investors that will enter on the current price will do the same if the price grow in the future above the current price. This is the normal cycle of trading. You should worry more if there’s no one selling even on price rally for a long time because it will form a bubble that will later on destroy the price once popped due to everyone take profit at the same time.

Do what you suggest if you just recently purchased and want to hold long term but this is not applicable to everyone especially those who are already in profit a lot.

[lovesmayfamilis]

It's always difficult to predict Bitcoin's next move. OP, you want guarantees, but there are none. If the price rises, there will always be those who are satisfied with it; on the contrary, those who have been waiting for a purchase for a long time can expect some correction. Each person has their own goals for the price to be achieved, but most likely, with a large increase in price, we will often see those who decide to withdraw rather than waiting for the next big value.

[kryptqnick]

I don't think that's how it works. Bitcoin grows, the price increases. Then, at some point, selling defeats that growth, and the price starts going down. Of course, a lot of people want to cash out their profits, and then some people just join the selling wave out of panic. The ETF example, however, doesn't have much to do with it. The SEC approved ETFs in the middle of January. The price was around $45k-$46k in the first half of January, and then gradually dropped to $40k closer to the end of January before starting to climb back up. The price didn't skyrocket, and some selling happened, but Bitcoin recovered soon.
The price is currently almost $67k, so we can't reasonably be talking about a massive withdrawal or a massive selling at this point, in my opinion. There's no automatic withdrawal, there are just some corrections along the way.

[hugeblack]

The fair value is the amount that some investors believe is good and start selling Bitcoin. Some may think that the price of $68,000 is a fair price for Bitcoin, so they start selling. The majority do not think so, so we do not see a deep correction, but if the price reaches the levels of $160,000, for example. The majority of those in the market will know that Bitcoin is overpriced and start selling, a few will think that it is a low price and hold, leading to a deep correction.
In any case, there is a group that plans to hold Bitcoin for long periods, and this category will most likely not sell anything in the near future (at least 10 years).

It's normal to have these withdrawals to come whether we're in a bull run or not. It's for everyone to decide whether they want to sell or not and that can't be stopped when people wanting to sell what they are up to by that time. Just expect that at any price range of Bitcoin, there's always people that will massively sell their bitcoins and expect even the dormant accounts that has hundreds to thousands of bitcoins that have been held for a long time might also get into withdrawals and will eventually get sold. What you're worrying about is with these withdrawals and sell offs in the market when it's normal on any market to have these actions. You, as an individual of this market will also have to sell whenever it is necessary for you to do so and yet, other people aren't worried about you and us trying to sell when we need to do it.

[bitzizzix]

Ahh.. that has become a common thing and always happens in any form of investment. And when they invest, the price goes up, and there will always be people who sell to take a profit or sell their entire holdings because they made a big profit. And this also happens with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, because everyone wants big profits when what they invest in is profitable because the price rises.
The OP should understand this because this doesn't only happen with Bitcoin, so it's very common. because everyone has different plans and strategies, and there are also those who don't sell because they believe the price will be much higher. And without paying attention to the decline that occurs due to sales, and just believe that in the future the price will rise again or in the long term at a much higher price. And they will even use this moment to accumulate more Bitcoins and store them for the long term.

There are many people in the market and they have different entries so they have different favor exit prices as well.

With people who bought Bitcoin about $16,000, it makes a lot of sense for them to take profit around $66,000. With people who only joined around $50,000, they likely expect bigger profit and will not sell now.

With leverage and futures enthusiasts, they are gambling with leverages and bet that they will win against the market. Unfortunately they will mostly fail against the market.

The Bitcoin Net Unrealized Profit Loss shows Bitcoin can have drag down from current area. There are sometimes it continues to rise more from this area of NUPL. So with this, it's unpredictable for next movement of Bitcoin.

Remember that not all are able to hold long-term, some are selling off their coins when the price hits their target. This practice is not quite new in the market but I have no argument with such a thing because we know that in order to earn a profit, then we also have to sell them. As long as we are selling high than the buying price, that is a good idea. In fact, we are not meant to hold forever and I don't think there is.

Buy, Hold, and Sell - that is how it works. People are buying during the bear season in preparation for the bull season to make money. Therefore, we can expect them to sell their Bitcoin at this time.
