On May 6, Bitcoin reached a zenith of $82,000, a height not seen since the halcyon days of late January 2026. It was a moment of triumph, brief and illusory. The day prior, it had breached $81,000, only to be rebuffed the next day like a suitor at the wrong door. Now, Julio Monero, the sage of CryptoQuant, warns that investors may be sharpening their knives, ready to carve out their profits and leave the market to its volatility. On May 4, holders reaped a daily harvest of 14,600 BTC in profits, the richest haul since December 10, 2025. Net profits over 30 days swelled to over 20,000 BTC, a bounty that whispers of impending sales.
