Is there divergence in the current market correction?
From a technical point of view, the possibility of Bitcoin [BTC] A 1.7% correction on May 7 as another short-term reset looks likely.
BTC has made four higher lows since late March, while each pullback has still been followed by higher highs, with the most recent high hitting $82,000 on May 6.
In this context, the possibility of BTC resetting before attempting a new higher high above $85k makes sense. During previous corrections, Bitcoin ETFs also turned negative, and recent flows appear to be following a similar pattern.
BTC ETFs recorded outflows of $286 million, in line with the 1.7% correction.
In short, Bitcoin’s consolidation could set the stage for a breakout above $82,000 resistance.
According to AMBCrypto, this is where the divergence comes into play.
As the post above shows, Michael Saylor recently signaled “buy more BTC than you sell,” which analysts say may have contributed to BTC’s 1.7% correction as market participants adjusted their positions in response to the signal and shifting flows.
From a positioning perspective, analysts noted that this was Saylor’s first post that didn’t focus entirely on aggressive buying, but instead suggested a more balanced approach between accumulation and distribution.
It raises questions about whether this means the end of the Strategy [MSTR] “never sell” stance after Q1 report recorded $12.54 billion loss as Bitcoin fell more than 22%.
Against this backdrop, the question arises whether BTC’s correction is more than just a short-term reset.
Saylor’s signal comes at a critical time as Bitcoin falls below $80,000
The “timing” of Michael Saylor’s tweet couldn’t have come at a worse time.
From a technical perspective, the 1.7% decline pushed BTC below the crucial $80,000 level, which Bitcoin had only recently reclaimed after losing for the first time in mid-January.
In this context, Saylor’s potential sell signal appears to have acted as an additional catalyst that may have amplified the downward momentum.
According to AMBCrypto, timing is starting to matter. As the chart below shows, Bitcoin profit margins have increased to almost 20%, meaning traders are now at their highest unrealized profits since June 2025.
Against this backdrop in the chain, Saylor’s tweet may have contributed to the pressure for profit-taking.
Against these pressures, ETF outflows appear to outweigh previous corrections.
From a technical perspective, Michael Saylor’s tweet could therefore represent a potential difference in this cycle.
With analysts already bearish for May, unrealized gains rising and institutional momentum softening, BTC’s 1.7% decline could reflect more than just a short-term reset.
This obviously leaves a long exposure of $17 billion clustered About $67,000 is at risk if MSTR-related sentiment shifts translate into actual selling pressure.
Final summary
- Bitcoin fell below $80,000, with ETF outflows and high unrealized gains suggesting the correction could be more than just a short-term reset.
- Saylor’s timing could increase pressure on the market, raising the risk for the $17 billion of longs near $67,000 if the sale goes through.
