Bitcoin is losing momentum trade as capital rotates into AI equities and new IPOs, per Schwab strategist Jim Ferraioli. This shift undercuts the cryptocurrency's price, and contradicts the narrative that Michael Saylor's Bitcoin sales are the main drag. The outflow from momentum-driven crypto to hot IPOs and AI suggests Bitcoin is being treated as a crowded trade rather than a safe asset.

What is driving Bitcoin lower if not Saylor's sales?
Momentum traders are shifting funds to AI equities and new IPOs, which are outperforming, pulling capital away from Bitcoin. Saylor's sales are secondary.
Can Bitcoin regain its momentum trade status?
Yes, if AI and IPO momentum fades or if Bitcoin's price action improves, momentum-focused traders could rotate back. Bitcoin often moves in cycles.
Should investors be concerned about Saylor's Bitcoin selling?
According to Schwab's Ferraioli, Saylor's sales are not the key factor; the broader rotation is more significant. However, large disposals can add to selling pressure.
