Why cryptomarket dump heavily before halving ?
Updated
In the world of cryptocurrency, a common occurrence preceding halving events is the significant sell-off observed in the market. This trend raises questions about its origins and implications for market participants.
Firstly, miners, responsible for maintaining the blockchain and validating transactions, often opt to secure profits to cover operational expenses. With the reduction in block rewards post-halving, miners anticipate potential price volatility and choose to capitalize on current market conditions.
Institutions, having strategically accumulated assets at lower prices during accumulation phases, view all-time highs as opportune moments to offload shares and realize profits. This profit-taking behavior is part of their trading strategies, enabling them to reinvest liquidity into new ventures and long-term investments, while also positioning themselves for potential altseason rallies.
On the retail side, traders engaged in high-risk leveraged positions near all-time highs may face liquidation, contributing to sell pressure. Additionally, some traders opt to capitalize on profits, while others succumb to panic selling induced by market fear, further driving prices down.
However, it's important to note that these sell-offs also present opportunities for market participants. Crypto exchanges absorb sold coins, smart investors utilize the opportunity to cost-average their positions, and steadfast long-term investors, often referred to as "diamond hands" view the downturn as a chance to accumulate assets for the long haul.

Hello community,The current market decline is unrelated to current geopolitical tensions.
Analysis of the market chart reveals that this downturn is a standard and beneficial occurrence for market dynamics. It serves as a healthy correction, enabling new investors to enter the market at lower prices and allowing existing investors to realize profits.
It's crucial not to interpret every market fluctuation as a deliberate conspiracy. Instead, it's important to recognize these movements as intrinsic to market cycles and opportunities for prudent investment decisions.
Happy investing !

From the first time I posted this chart, many things changed in the market: - miners took their profits and are ready to afford the cost of maintenance of the blockchain
- new investors entered the market after the correction and it’s notable from the candles squeeze.
- retail traders who thought the market will dump more existed the market . They soon will re-enter the market after breaking the last highs.
Happy learning !

Taking profits after reaching an all-time high is a normal process, especially for investors who purchased at 16k, seeing gains of approximately +350%.This figure holds significant weight, particularly for those with substantial portfolios.Whales can't execute profit-taking through a standard "market order"; instead, it necessitates a more nuanced approach within a specific range.
So do not panic, Institutions and miners are not against you !
If you're curious o know : "Why do whales prefer to take profits within a range ? " let me know in the comments.
Happy learning !
