Strategy (MSTR) shocked the market by selling Bitcoin (BTC) again in just over a month. This time, immediately after disposing of 3,588 BTC, valued at $216 million, Bitcoin fell below $61,500, and a technical sell signal was simultaneously triggered.

According to crypto media outlet Cryptopotato on July 6 (local time), Strategy sold 3,588 BTC for $216 million. Co-founder and former CEO Michael Saylor disclosed the Bitcoin disposal, and the company explained that the sale was to secure funds for digital credit securities dividends. This action aligns with the previously announced plan to establish a Digital Credit Capital Framework.

Strategy's Bitcoin sale also occurred just over a month ago. At that time, the company sold 32 BTC for the first time in four years, which was a negligible amount compared to its total holdings of over 840,000 BTC. However, Bitcoin, which was trading at $74,000 at the time of the sale announcement, plummeted below $60,000 in less than a week. Although there were other market variables, Strategy's sale was considered one of the main factors influencing price movements and investor sentiment.

This time, the volume of the sale was significantly larger, making it incomparable to the previous 32 BTC. Bitcoin had already fallen from $64,000 to $63,000, and after the news of Strategy's sale, it dropped further below $61,500, showing support in that range afterward. The repeated sales by the world's largest Bitcoin-holding company have drawn significant market attention.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that at the time of Strategy's sale announcement, the TD Sequential indicator issued a Bitcoin sell signal. This indicator is used to determine when an asset's price upward or downward trend is exhausted. Martinez stated, “Michael Saylor's Strategy sold Bitcoin at the same time the TD Sequential indicator showed a sell signal for Bitcoin,” adding, “This is not a combination bullish investors want to see.”

Martinez analyzed that the combination of Strategy's large-scale sale and the technical sell signal could open up the possibility of a deeper correction. The market also noted the previous instance where Bitcoin plummeted from $74,000 to below $60,000 after the sale of 32 BTC as a comparative example.
