Bitcoin Pauses Rally as Profit-Taking Hits Yearly High

  • —BTC holds below $85,500 after a 6.7% rally and a $87,395 peak
  • —Santiment's NPL metric hit a one-year high as holders booked profits
  • —Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $998.95 million in inflows, the most since October 2025
  • —Strategy bought 950 BTC, bringing holdings to 846,000 coins
Why it matters: Record profit-taking could add near-term selling pressure, but strong ETF inflows and Strategy's purchases keep the bullish structure intact.
