Bitcoin's recent breakthrough above $75,000 has triggered a wave of large-scale profit-taking, with short-term holders selling approximately $3.5 billion worth of 48,000 BTC to exchanges within a single day (marking a new high for the year). Analysts point out that this behavior indicates investors are more inclined toward short-term speculation rather than long-term holding. Despite the selling pressure, Bitcoin's price has maintained a healthy consolidation following strong monthly gains. Trader Michaël van de Poppe believes this consolidation represents a structural adjustment and expects Bitcoin to continue testing higher resistance levels near $76,000 to $80,000.
