BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) sold 2,221 BTC worth about $170.59 million on May 18, ending a six-week streak of Bitcoin accumulation that totaled nearly $3 billion. This sell-off coincided with Bitcoin's price falling from a key resistance level around $82,200 to about $77,410, reflecting bearish sentiment. The decline followed a Senate vote advancing crypto regulation, which may have influenced investor behavior. Analysts suggest Bitcoin could drop further to below $72,000 but might rebound if BlackRock resumes buying.
