A few days ago, Bitcoin had a little bounce after weeks of trading below the $91,000 mark. But now it’s like a toddler with a sugar rush-momentum is fading, and the crypto market is doing the cha-cha, slowly turning bearish. 🐻❄️
What’s Happening Behind The Bitcoin’s Rise
Bitcoin may have slightly pulled back from its most recent bounce, but the price is still holding strong above $95,000. Meanwhile, the latest jump has attracted attention, with the move being increasingly viewed as “well-justified” rather than “speculative.” Because nothing says “I’m a genius” like a 2% rise. 🧙♀️
Currently, on-chain data is showing a clear divergence in who’s driving the move. Santiment, the crypto equivalent of a psychic, revealed that Bitcoin’s surge to $97,800 on Wednesday seemed more than warranted due to the behavior of large and retail investors. Because obviously, they’re all just randomly buying BTC. 🐟
Institutions, long-term investors, and big wallets-aka “smart money”-have been quietly accumulating while retail traders are selling into strength like it’s 2018. 🍕 With the rotation of supply from weaker hands to more conviction-driven investors, the rally’s foundation is being strengthened. Because nothing says “I believe in this” like a 0.24% increase. 🤷♀️

When whales are buying more BTC, and retail investors are dumping, it reflects a very bullish market outlook. Since January 10, whales have been amassing BTC like it’s going out of style, scooping up 32,693 BTC. Because nothing says “I’m confident” like buying 32k BTC. 🐋
On the other hand, retail holders have offloaded 149 BTC-30% of their holdings. Because nothing says “I’m a seasoned investor” like losing 30% of your crypto. 🥦
Santiment highlighted that the key signal is that smart money is finally buying consistently, while micro money bows out. It’s an ideal setup for a bull run… or a very expensive gamble. 🎯 However, how long retail doubts the tiny rally will determine how long it lasts. And the “Very Bullish” green zone is still in place for the time being. 🌱
Ongoing FUD In The Market Set To Propel BTC’s Price
Even with the recent recovery, Bitcoin is seeing negative interactions from crypto enthusiasts and analysts on social media. This behavior implies the crowd is not entirely confident in the BTC rally. But don’t worry-it’s a good sign! Because nothing says “I’m scared” like a 10-day FUD streak. 🎭
Social data reveals commentary toward BTC has leaned bearish. With markets often moving in the opposite direction of retail sentiment, Santiment noted that the most FUD in 10 days is likely to propel BTC to $100k. Because nothing says “I’m a prophet” like predicting a price surge. 🧙♂️
