Strategy chair Michael Saylor signaled that his firm may add to its Bitcoin holdings just as the market slid again on Sunday, a move that kept traders on edge and fed fresh debate over what is driving the declines.<\/p>\n

Back To More Orange Dots<\/h2>\n

According to a post on X, Saylor shared a chart with the phrase \u201cBack to More Orange Dots,\u201d<\/a> a shorthand that investors interpret as fresh buying.<\/p>\n

Based on reports tracked by SaylorTracker, Strategy<\/a> bought 10,624 BTC on Dec. 12 \u2014 its biggest single purchase since late July.<\/p>\n

The firm now holds about 660,624 BTC, which at current prices is worth roughly $58.5 billion, and its average cost per coin stands at $74,696.<\/p>\n

Sunday Wick, Low Liquidity<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin<\/a> briefly dipped to a two-week low near $87,750 in late trading on Sunday, before climbing back above $89,000 by the time of writing.<\/p>\n

Traders pointed to a familiar pattern: quick wick-downs on weekends when liquidity is thin. Ether showed relative strength while major altcoins lagged, and market participants were seen positioning ahead of a packed calendar of US data<\/a> and central bank decisions this week.<\/p>\n\n

Analysts Eye Bank Of Japan<\/p>\n

According to analyst commentary, some market participants blame the selling on expectations around the Bank Of Japan.<\/a><\/p>\n

People are seriously underestimating what the bank is about to do to crypto, said one analyst using the handle NoLimit.<\/p>\n

Justin d\u2019Anethan, head of research at Arctic Digital, said the slide toward $88,000 \u201cfeels like a defeat,\u201d and linked the move to fear of a carry trade unwind tied to Japanese rate expectations.<\/p>\n

Markets May Have Priced It In<\/p>\n

Sykodelic, another market watcher, argued that Japan\u2019s actions are largely priced in. \u201cMarkets are forward-thinking, forward-moving. They move in anticipation of events, not when those events happen,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

Based on that view, the recent drop is less about a fresh shock and more about ordinary back-and-forth: macro funds trimming exposure, short-term traders taking profit, and buyers stepping in at lower levels.<\/p>\n

That push-and-pull helps explain why Bitcoin keeps snapping lower on thin pockets of liquidity but does not break decisively below key support.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the tension between long-term holders \u2014 represented by companies like Strategy \u2014 and short-term macro flows is shaping price action.<\/p>\n

There is no sign yet of widespread liquidations or a funding crisis, which suggests the declines are measured rather than chaotic.<\/p>\n
