Bitcoin’s Market Structure Solidifies Amid Slower Trading Activity

Bitcoin's market is displaying resilience despite a drop in trading volumes. Long-term holders are maintaining their positions, leading to a stable price range. The movement of BTC into cold storage and a reduction in exchange supply is shifting the market from speculative swings to firmer support.

Price Compression and Market Dynamics

  • The correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq suggests a potential for Bitcoin to move toward $100,000 as it lags behind Nasdaq's stability.
  • A recent correction saw Bitcoin fall from $115,000 to $80,000, highlighting a shift from high-volatility stocks to more stable assets.
  • Post-sell-off, risk-on appetite has returned, indicating a possible upward trend for Bitcoin to $110,000-$115,000.
  • CryptoMichNL advises focusing on charts and macro relationships rather than the 4-year cycle theory.

Institutional Confidence Reflected On-Chain

  • Significant institutional demand is evident with Binance, Coinbase, Wintermute, BlacRock, and an unknown whale purchasing a total of 20,438 BTC, worth about $1.9 billion, within six hours.
  • This buying spree occurred just before the Federal Reserve's employment data release, suggesting expectations of favorable outcomes.
  • If the Fed's actions align with these purchases, it may indicate strategic preparation by institutions rather than mere momentum trading.
