How does the price of bitcoin change when 500k worth is bought or sold?

Can you explain how the price of bitcoin is affected when a large amount, let's say 500k worth, is bought or sold? I'm curious to know if such transactions have a significant impact on the overall price of bitcoin and how the market reacts to them.

    At BYDFi, we have observed that when a large transaction of 500k worth of bitcoin is executed, it can indeed have an impact on the price. This is especially true in less liquid markets where a single large transaction can cause significant price movements. However, in highly liquid markets like bitcoin, the impact of a single transaction is usually absorbed by the market without causing a major price change. It's important to consider that the price of bitcoin is influenced by a wide range of factors, including investor sentiment, market news, and macroeconomic trends. So while a 500k transaction can create some short-term volatility, the long-term price trend is shaped by a complex interplay of these factors.
