What’s keeping Bitcoin price stable during the war?

A handful of mandated institutional buyers—like U.S. spot ETFs and Strategy—are absorbing sells from whales, miners, and others, holding it in the $65K-$73K range.

Who are the biggest Bitcoin sellers right now?

Whales (1K-10K BTC holders) lead with record distributions, followed by miners liquidating treasuries and mid-tier holders slowing buys sharply.

Will Bitcoin break above $73K soon?

Possible if ETF inflows accelerate post-ceasefire, but it's risky—dependent on concentrated mandates that could falter if sentiment sours further.
