Several holders are wondering if they should liquidate their Bitcoin positions. The idea of holding is interesting; however, it is complicated for those who took positions with leverage. Margin calls demand short liquidations. Several investors would not dare to put in additional capital as they see the market is unsure and the tight price range continues leaving an uninteresting volatility.
Bitcoin comes with fair warning. Whales are not anymore doing anything to pump the price. Whales are trying to stabilize the price of BTC so that they can attract institutional investors.
Subsequent, to the collapse of Bitcoin in June 2022, BTC price volatility has been low for over the past 6 months. There is no bounce, continuation, or anything. The price range has been super tight. BTC retailors and investors decided to hold. Despite the trade volumes going up, the price has been sustaining in a tight range.
Investors in the game are aware of the artificial prop up of prices and they have well made more profits investing in BTC and have lived through different bullish and bearish trends; however, this time, the BTC ice age is maddening.

The reality is when Humans are involved, no matter how good the intentions, things will go sideways because greed, corruption, thirst for power and importance are at play. Bitcoin is right, the wrong thing is the people using it to scam others – Luna and FTT is the example. Those who want cheap Bitcoin are trying to buy it now.
