An analysis <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/6a1da029acd5dd4820d91653-Fear-Is-Dominating-the-Market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shared<\/a> by data analytics firm Cryptoquant on June 1 said the transaction does not point to a <span>bearish<\/span> breakdown because on-chain data shows limited exchange inflows and no signs of widespread distribution. As <span>BTC<\/span> hovers near critical support levels, investors appear more cautious, raising the risk that profit-taking could continue if confidence fades further.<\/p>\n<p>Cryptoquant shared the analysis alongside data showing that key profitability indicators are weakening even as broad selling pressure remains muted. The analyst pointed to a Fund Flow Ratio near 0.01, suggesting <span>bitcoin<\/span> holders are not moving large amounts of <span>BTC<\/span> to exchanges. At the same time, Net Unrealized Profit\/Loss (NUPL) remained positive at 0.27, indicating investors still hold unrealized gains. However, the metric has trended lower in recent weeks, signaling that profitability is shrinking and <span>bullish<\/span> momentum is becoming harder to sustain. The analyst noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis suggests that large amounts of <span>bitcoin<\/span> are not flowing to exchanges, meaning the sale has not triggered widespread selling pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Strategy disclosed on June 1 that it sold 32 <span>BTC<\/span> for $2.5 million, with proceeds expected to fund preferred stock distributions. The filing sharpened scrutiny of Michael Saylor\u2019s bitcoin-backed capital model because it marked Strategy\u2019s first <span>BTC<\/span> sale since 2022. Saylor later <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/saylor-breaks-silence-after-strategys-bitcoin-sale\/\">promoted<\/a> STRC, the company\u2019s preferred stock, without directly addressing the sale, shifting attention toward dividend coverage and future funding needs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_819228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-819228\" style=\"width:1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-819228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Analysis shared by Cryptoquant, titled \u201cFear Is Dominating the Market.\u201d Source: Cryptoquant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2> <span>Bitcoin<\/span> Profit Metrics Show Fading Momentum Without Panic Selling<\/h2>\n<p>The Cryptoquant chart showed a more specific concern: <span>BTC<\/span>\u2019s price recovery has begun to lose support from profitability metrics. Although <span>bitcoin<\/span> climbed toward the $80,000-$85,000 range in recent months, both NUPL and Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) have moved lower from recent highs. MVRV compares <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s market value with its realized value, helping assess whether the asset looks overheated or undervalued.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis placed MVRV near 1.36, a level still below readings usually linked to major cycle tops. That suggests the market has not reached an overheated peak. However, the simultaneous decline in MVRV and NUPL shows momentum is weakening. If <span>BTC<\/span> loses the $70,000-$72,000 support zone, investor profitability could deteriorate faster and increase the risk of additional selling pressure. The analysis stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cStrategy\u2019s 32 <span>BTC<\/span> sale is not a <span>bearish<\/span> signal on its own, but it may contribute to a broader profit taking environment. For now, fear continues to outweigh optimism in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The concern now centers on whether Strategy\u2019s growing focus on STRC could create future funding pressure tied to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> holdings. Saylor has long framed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> as the company\u2019s core treasury asset, but the sale showed investors that distributions may require <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-liquidity\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liquidity<\/a>. For investors, the key question is whether future preferred stock obligations could require more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-liquidity\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liquidity<\/a> if market conditions weaken.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/analyst-says-strategys-btc-sale-is-not-bearish-despite-rising-bitcoin-fear\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways The analysis says Strategy\u2019s bitcoin sale is not a bearish signal, despite growing market concern over the move.
