People see stats like this and instantly expect a guaranteed Thursday dump.
But the interesting part isn’t the day itself.
It’s why Thursdays have recently become weak for BTC.
A lot of it feels tied to positioning resets after midweek optimism. Traders chase momentum early in the week, leverage builds up, then Thursday becomes the cleanup phase where crowded longs finally get pressured before weekend liquidity thins out.
You can actually see this behavior repeating lately:
early strength → overconfidence → late-week unwind.
The dangerous thing is when traders start front-running the pattern too aggressively. Once everyone expects Thursday weakness, the market either accelerates the selloff harder… or does the opposite and squeezes late shorts violently.
So for me this isn’t really about “Thursday curse.”
It’s about whether BTC still looks structurally strong enough to absorb profit-taking after every rally attempt.
Right now the market still feels hypersensitive to liquidity shifts, which means even small selling pressure can snowball fast once leverage gets crowded.
