Analyst Explains What’s Going On During the Bitcoin Price Rise

While retail investors have bought the dip, mid-market and institutional investors have sold on every upswing over the same period. Ardi noted that people with the least capital absorb the supply of those with the most capital. He stated that this is not usually the way large bottoms are built in bear cyclesindicating that the bottom has not yet been reached.
Ardi further noted that institutional-sized traders do not need retail participation to form a floor for the Bitcoin price. He added that big lows are actually formed after retail finally gives up. However, that is not the case currently as retail beliefs remain high throughout larger investors reduce their exposure. The analyst said it is difficult to argue that there is true capitulation until the dynamics change.
The Bitcoin ETFs largely contributed to Bitcoin’s latest price crash, with these funds seeing record net outflows over the past month. These ETFs have also seen outflows in 15 of the past 16 trading days, a development that has put significant downward pressure on the BTC price.
