I wouldn't say that there will be a massive sell-off, some countries are still in the proposal stage, so nothing is concrete and they could be very well waiting for the US to lead the way before each nation will decide whether it's a go or no go.
Maybe it will have a effect on the price short term, but still we are in bull run year, so whatever happens to this Strategic Reserve plan, the price will still go on another run this year and we will see a new all time high. Or we should peak at maybe $150k. Everything still looks very positive to us.
If history repeats itself, we will enter bear season again this November and December and there will need to be a reason for the crash to begin. And what I mean is the hype around bitcoin reserves will get more intense in the coming months and will be the catalyst for a strong bull run. But then the US and other countries could declare that the idea of bitcoin reserves is not passed by the end of the year and we will enter a new bear season.
The 2018 bear season started with the collapse of many ICO/IDO... and the 2022 bear season started with the collapse of Luna, FTX, and for the 2026 bear season we also need a reason and I won't rule this out.
We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves though, yeah, for sure we will go on another bear market in 2026, and there could be reasons for it just like what the previous bear market was. There are things that we can't really foreseen and we can only reach once we get there. No one anticipated FTX collapse that time, it is one of the biggest exchange before it goes down.
So we are not sure what will be the reason for the 2026 bear season, it could be the whole Bitcoin Reserve falling us, or something big that will come. Presently though, it seems that this news is very positive for the market.
