This steep decline suggests that fewer spot holders are looking to sell their Bitcoin, possibly anticipating a major price surge in the near term.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-463487 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?resize=980%2C550\" alt=\"cq1\" width=\"980\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=2552 2552w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/cq1.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, BTC crossed the $97,000 mark earlier today \u2014 its highest point since February 20.

Although BTC is currently trading slightly above $97,000, it remains to be seen whether this momentum will result in a confirmed breakout or merely a temporary bullish deviation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-463488 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?resize=980%2C644\" alt=\"ali\" width=\"980\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=2438 2438w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ali.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>A clear move above $97,500 would strengthen the case for a new all-time high (ATH) in the near term.
