Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (2 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Bitcoin has been absorbing significant sell pressure, including large block sales from major holders, without meaningful price deterioration, which analysts interpret as a sign that the market has digested available supply. The stability in price despite known selling events points to a holder base that is largely unwilling to exit at current levels.

WHY IT MATTERS

Seller exhaustion is a structural condition that tends to precede directional moves, because when motivated sellers have largely exited, even modest increases in demand can produce outsized price responses due to the reduced supply of willing sellers.
