What does 'Bitcoin market thinning' mean?

It means net demand contracting — more BTC sold than bought monthly, despite big buyers, as whales and others distribute supply.

Is Bitcoin demand really down -63,000 BTC per month?

Yes, per CryptoQuant: institutions absorb ~94k, but broader market sells 157k, netting -63k in late March.

Will Bitcoin crash below realized price?

Gap's closing fast (21% premium now vs 120% peak), but no capitulation yet — depends on ETF absorption vs ongoing whale sales.
