Professional investors are stopping the sell-off – and this is critically important.
The #البيتكوين coin has been under pressure for months, declining about 32% from its all-time high, and stabilizing within a narrow range between $85,000 and $90,000. On the surface, it still looks weak. But in reality, a significant change has occurred.
Long-term #Bitcoin holders have quietly stopped distributing. After intense selling since July, they changed their behavior and added nearly 10,700 Bitcoin in a single day. This doesn’t guarantee a price increase, but it indicates that those who usually sell at the highs are no longer rushing to sell at these levels.
At the same time, there is ongoing outflow of Bitcoin from trading platforms. December saw net outflows, with billions of dollars of #BTC being withdrawn from centralized exchanges. This isn’t traders preparing to sell; it’s investors moving their assets to cold wallets and long-term investment holdings.
Institutions are also gradually returning to the market. Bitcoin ETF funds experienced steady outflows until late December, then suddenly reversed with $335 million in inflows, one of the largest since October. This isn’t excessive optimism, but a shift in sentiment. Selling pressure is easing.
Looking at the bigger picture, corporate treasuries are still absorbing supply. Strategic companies alone bought over $22 billion worth of #BTCUSDT in 2025, and digital asset treasury companies now collectively control more than 1.1 million Bitcoin. These buyers did not hesitate during the downturn.
None of this means the price will rise immediately tomorrow. Retail demand remains cautious, sentiment is still wary, and volatility has not settled. But this is what early stabilization looks like: fewer forced sellers, steady absorption, and smart investors quietly returning.
Markets don’t reach their lows when everyone feels satisfied; they do so when selling stops.
Currently, sellers are beginning to feel exhausted. 👀
