Among these price results Crypto Dan, the cryptochant analyst shared his own analysis data in the chain and market behavior that can shape Bitcoin trajectory in the coming weeks and months.

Bitcoin stubborn market, but caution

According to a given amount of bitcoins maintained for less than six months, it still shows a significant boost in every market cycle. This trend suggests that with the extension of Bitcoin’s appeal, up-to-date capital influences – especially from the expected introduction of ETF on bitcoins – can boost demand even more.

Dan predicts that both institutional and retail investors will boost their commitment, because these ETF will gain adhesion to the first half of 2025.

In addition, while the current indicators remain stubborn, Crypto Dan warns that the growing interest in bitcoins and altcoins, in combination with the influx of up-to-date investors, can signal that the current cycle can approach its peak.

If Bitcoin pushes his high time with a significant rush, and Altcoins follows in their footsteps, it can cause a wave of influx that can mean the final stages of the cycle. Dan advises investors to consider a risk management strategy.

Divergent revenues from retail and whales

This warning is strengthened by observing another cryptochant analyst, Darkfost, which review of the most critical events Displayed in the preservation of retail investors and whales.

According to recent Binance data, retail investors have significantly increased their BTC deposits over the past month, and revenues achieved about 6000 BTC. In contrast, the whale activity on binance has decreased, and their BTC inflow dropped to about 1000 BTC – a decrease four times.

Darkfost notes that retail investors often apply exchanges to liquidate their resources, while reduced whale revenues suggest that they keep their bitcoins.

This contrasting behavior offers insight into wider market moods: retail participants seem to be ecstatic to apply compact -term profits, while larger, more recognized investors maintain a more cautious attitude.

Historically, in accordance with the behavior of whales, and not retail trends, it was a more reliable signal for long -term market movements. Darkfost emphasized this notice:

This is a perfect example of contrasting behavior between whales and retail traders and is often considered a better choice, not retail investors, not retail investors
