So, brace yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoins Market teetering on the edge of greed and fear<\/h2>\n<p><span>Despite the two major clashes with the Fed, Bitcoin\u2019s reputation as a safe haven is proving its worth. A year ago, this shock could have triggered a much harsher reaction. But here we are \u2013 Bitcoin fell from its yearly high of $102k just a week ago. And yet, it\u2019s still holding steady, down only 7%. That\u2019s resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now, with Trump\u2019s inauguration looming, there\u2019s talk of a repeat of the Q4 rally that saw Bitcoin surge to $108k. For many, holding on to Bitcoin seems like a smart play right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, there\u2019s a catch. The scale of losses during this dip was hard to ignore. Around 1.9 million BTC, bought at $106k, are at risk of being sold once Bitcoin hits that price, potentially triggering a massive $201 billion sell-off.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_458970\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-458970\" alt=\"bitcoins Bitcoin [BTC] in\/out of money\" width=\"1721\" height=\"381\"   data-old-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201721%20381'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907.png 1721w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907-300x66.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907-1024x227.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907-768x170.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907-1536x340.png 1536w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907-1200x266.png 1200w\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-13-135907.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-458970\">Source: IntoTheBlock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>With the aftermath of two major crashes still lingering, the decision to HODL feels uncertain for many.
