Vitalik has been selling a lot of ETH lately and that's concerning to me.
Although he has been spending it for the development of Ethereum ecosystem, it still is concerning because it adds to the selling pressure which ETH is already facing.
But it's good that he is transaparent about it and has been selling it in a planned and organized way.
Main concern i have with cryptos is with big whales, especially with Proof of Stake, so imho every time a whale sells, it's a good thing as it gives more people opportunity to buy cheaper, then if they hodled.

Also people were were afraid that eth is centralized around Vitalik, and Vitalik has stepped down from development, and less of a center he is in terms of a bag size, the better it's for the decentralization ideology.

From point of centralization, yes, even I believe that its rather good if the whales sell their coins in the open market.
Firstly, it adds in more liquidity and secondly, it gives the opportunity for others to buy more coins at cheaper prices.
Also, it distributes the coins from a single entity to a multiple entities which is good for decentralization.

Ironically, Vitalik sells ETH when the market is bearish. When everything is "reds and roses", he doesn't sell. At least, that's what I've seen. If he sells during the bear market, it will add more negative pressure to ETH's price.

Fortunately, Bitcoin is starting to rise again. At the time of this writing, ETH has surged all the way to $2.1k per coin. Still, it's far below its last-recorded ATH of nearly $5k. There's a long road ahead before long-term ETH investors are able to make a ROI. Hopefully, ETH makes history by reaching far beyond $5k. With constant network upgrades, I'm sure it will get there soon.

I don't understand why Vitalik is selling when the price is low and people are bearish. There is just not as much demand in the market right now. He could've sold it when the price was 3k or even 4k with less Ethereum for the same amount while keeping the selling pressure minimal because people are bullish.
Now it seems like a bad move to do. But whatever, At the end of the day it's his Ethereum.
Creating a Cryptocurrency does not make you a good Trader too.  And after all, I have seen MANY people thinking Ethereum will even surpass Bitcoin one day.  And I am guessing if there was one person who would have very high hopes about it, it would be the creator himself.
Even though trading is trading and creating a crypto is for the devs, both can still be related and I think as a crypto dev, we can't avoid to learn trading too as it may benefit in our project. One example is we can do some manipulations but i think this one seems unethical.

Anyways, we don't need to be a good trader but it only needs a common sense that when the market is down, it may also be a bad idea to sell. Vitalik is a smart guy, so maybe he is only cooking something away from our normal understanding? For now it looks like your guess is wrong there because even the ETH founder himself is dumping its creation but maybe it's only an act of humbleness and a respect to Bitcoin.

First of all, i don't get a sense that one of the characteristics of Vitalic would be competitive. Nothing even hints about that. Being smart has nothing to do with making maximum amount of money. Not all of us are here for that, especially Vitalik who has not only given lot of money to charities, but just listening to him talking, and you wouldn't get a sense that money would mean that much to him as he would want to be known as a "good trader" or some crap like that.
