📈 Bitcoin Back at $61,000
Bitcoin price returned to $61,000 on June 26, as news emerged of an incoming BTC sale by the U.S. government.
⚠️ State Selling Risk

💡 Market Reaction
Trader Skew noted that the market reaction was subdued, with some shorts opening and longs closing out. The U.S. government wallet still held over 213,500 BTC ($13 billion).
🔍 Whales Front-running
William Clemente of Reflexivity suggested that recent selling by Bitcoin whales may have anticipated these government moves, explaining crypto's relative weakness to stocks.
