Another explanation to a somewhat similar behavior is that they're just trying to influence the market. Many who are hyping the market during the bullish times are only trying to make it even more bullish, to extend the bull run as much as possible. But let's be careful about these personalities. They sometimes say one thing, do another. They're also exhorting everybody to buy the dip, buy the dip, buy the dip. But they're dumping and taking profit. They want people to be rush and emotional, but they're taking carefully measured steps themselves.
It's mainly the whales that do this. I can see a lot of them doing this already for this year. They talk about how 2026 is going to be a good year for bitcoin, some talk about how bitcoin is going to get a new ATH while others even talk about the price hitting 200,000 dollars. While this may be just their speculation, I think it can also be a way to make people buy bitcoin so the price can go up as high as possible then they will take profit before it crashes again.
Well, like you said, we have to be careful.
