Bitcoin Price Pressure: Insights into Recent Selling and Market Dynamics
Recent movements in the Bitcoin (BTC) market suggest that selling pressure from long-standing holders, known as "veteran whales," has contributed to the decline below $64,000.
These early Bitcoin adopters, who hold significant amounts accumulated over 7-10 years, have begun to sell, contrary to expectations of long-term holding. Data from Satonomics indicates that even accounts aged 2-3 years are showing signs of selling activity, adding to the market’s downward pressure.
The ongoing selling trend has puzzled Bitcoin maximalists, who typically advocate for holding amid potential long-term gains. Speculation includes the possibility of OTC liquidations, further complicating market sentiment.

Despite the recent sell-off, industry watchers anticipate potential buying interest once current selling pressures subside, buoyed by microStrategy’s continued BTC acquisitions and signs of accumulation on exchanges like Bitfinex.
Moreover, the market has also reacted to broader economic factors, with BTC’s performance mirroring declines in the S&P 500 and tech stocks like NVDA. However, insights into ongoing transactions, such as significant Tether (USDT) injections into Bitfinex, hint at potential liquidity boosts influencing BTC’s price trajectory independently.
Overall, while short-term market fluctuations persist, ongoing institutional investments and strategic buying behaviors indicate resilience in BTC’s valuation, despite recent market corrections.
