Large institutional rebalancing triggers market fluctuations as Bitcoin approaches $88,000, a leading asset management firm has reduced its holdings by 22,900 BTC, with a single transaction exceeding $200 million. This move coincides precisely with the release window of an important Federal Reserve report, prompting speculation about Wall Street’s deeper intentions.
However, relying on a single signal can easily be misled by short-term emotions. It’s better to extend the timeline and examine a key pattern in the Bitcoin market:
Historically, Bitcoin has never experienced two consecutive years of decline
After each deep correction, a more vigorous rebound often follows:
• 2014 decline → 2015 surge
• 2018 decline → 2019 rebound
• 2022 decline → 2023 nearly +160%
The average historical gain level reaches 126%. Based on this cyclical logic, if the market closes lower at the end of 2025, then according to long-term data models, the target range for 2026 could be between $125,000 and $200,000.
From this perspective, the phased reduction by asset management institutions is a tactical profit-taking or position balancing, and does not contradict the long-term pattern that “there is always a strong rebound after a down year.” The real big move often quietly begins amid ongoing disputes among market participants and wavering retail sentiment.
What is most needed now is to maintain resolve block out short-term noise and respect cyclical laws. Those seemingly calm oscillations may be quietly nurturing the next breakout.
