#数字资产市场动态 ⚡BlackRock sold off 22,900 BTC when Bitcoin surged to $88,000, with a single transaction exceeding $200 million. This fluctuation was precisely timed within the key data release window of the Federal Reserve, enough to tighten market nerves. Such high-level institutional moves are often interpreted as signals of profit-taking — but the story might be far more complex.

Rather than fixating on short-term volatility, it’s better to look at a longer time horizon. There’s an intriguing phenomenon in the Bitcoin market: it has never experienced two consecutive years of annual declines. After each major correction, subsequent rallies tend to be significantly more aggressive.

Data speaks: in 2014, it fell; in 2015, it rose; in 2018, it fell; in 2019, it rose; in 2022, it fell; and in 2023, it surged nearly 160%. The average annual gain over the years is 126%. Following this logic, if 2025 ends with a decline, the probabilistic target for 2026 is likely in the range of $125,000 to $200,000.

From a different perspective, BlackRock’s selling could simply be profit-taking or periodic rebalancing — which is not fundamentally at odds with the long-term historical pattern of “strong rebounds after sluggish years.” The real big move often silently begins at the moments when the market is most tangled and retail investors are most hesitant.

The biggest test now isn’t short-term judgment but the ability to ignore noise and respect cycles. The future performance of major cryptocurrencies like $BTC, $ETH, and $BNB may be hidden in the subtle details of current volatility. What is your attitude?

BTC-0.16%

ETH-0.92%

BNB0.61%

BlackRock cuts positions, just do it. Anyway, history has never lied to us; the pattern of rebounding after a decline is very reliable. Wait, can 2026 really reach 200,000? I need to hold onto my coins tightly. You're creating panic again, this routine is the same every year... To be honest, I'm never afraid of institutional sell-offs. The more they sell, the more opportunities there are to buy in. A 126% annual average increase is incredible. Why am I still losing money?

BlackRock cutting positions, just go ahead. Anyway, history has never shown two consecutive years of decline, so I'll just sit back and watch the show.

BlackRock cutting positions is just BlackRock cutting positions, anyway the history is right here. We've never seen a two-year decline. I'm just waiting to see if 2026 can hit 200,000. If you ask me, the most annoying thing now is people posting about BlackRock's movements every day, as if the entire market will shake with every move by the institution. Honestly, it's just your own mindset not being stable. That 126% average annual increase over the years is indeed impressive, but the problem is you have to live until that day, right? There are too many short-term noises. I've already set it to Do Not Disturb mode, just waiting for the next wave.

BlackRock cutting positions, in simple terms, is just institutions playing psychological games to trap retail investors; the more panicked retail investors get, the more they run. The idea of a historical cycle sounds pretty appealing, but relying on tricks to make money every time is probably extremely risky. Using this method to calculate the target price for 2026 is less reliable than just watching the Federal Reserve's moves— that's the real ticking time bomb. Holding BTC long-term is fine, but the question is, who can truly wait for the next cycle? So, after a downturn, a rebound is the norm; being trapped at a high is also realistic. Averaging down or cutting losses—that's the real skill. When BlackRock cuts this position, they might quietly buy back tomorrow—understanding institutional tactics. A 126% average increase sounds attractive, but they haven't predicted exactly how 2025 will unfold; it's all armchair quarterbacking after the fact. Retail investors should be thinking right now: respect the cycle, yes, but respecting their own capital even more.

BlackRock reducing positions is just the appetizer; the real show is still to come. Yeah, that logic sounds good, but history’s patterns… sometimes are just used to slap you in the face. 26 years to reach 200,000? I choose to believe it; anyway, HODLing now doesn’t really cost me anything.

BlackRock is not panicking about order cancellations; the historical cycle is right there. It has never experienced two consecutive years of decline. I believe in the 2026 target of reaching 125,000-200,000. When looking at a longer cycle, there aren't as many opportunities.

BlackRock cuts positions, just do it. Anyway, we retail investors can't change much. If it drops, it drops; if it rises, it rises. I don't understand why there's so much fuss over institutional moves. Wait, according to this logic, can it really reach 200,000 in 2026? Then I have to hold on now and not be scared off by short-term fluctuations. Historical data does have some value, but on the other hand, who can guarantee that this time isn't an exception? The blockchain world is full of uncertainties. It just feels like every time the market reaches a peak, someone comes out to tell stories about cycle patterns. Who knows how many people will get caught when the next bubble bursts.
