Despite a noticeable slowdown in trading volumes, Bitcoin’s underlying market structure has continued to strengthen. Price action has stabilized within a narrow range as long-term investors remain firmly convinced. As more BTC flows into cold storage and supply tightens on exchanges, the market is transitioning from hype-driven swings to steady structural support.
How price compression builds energy for a bigger move
CIO and founder of MNFund and MNCapital, CryptoMichNL, emphasized that Bitcoin shares a strong correlation with the Nasdaq. While Nasdaq continues to show steady resilience, BTC has lagged behind. This mismatch creates mispricing and market divergence, which is why the path to $100,000 remains wide open and why the four-year cycle thesis does not hold up.

Recently, BTC went through a massive correction, dropping from $115,000 to $80,000 in just two weeks. During the same liquidation period, what LVisserLabs calls the rotation between Pure Vol versus Pure Profitability or Beta versus Quality, has fallen sharply. Beta here refers to high-volatility, high-beta stocks, which are essentially technology stocks that drive the markets. Meanwhile, Quality means more risky assets, including high-quality, profitable and stable companies.
Currently, BTC has stalled after the sell-off and beta assets have recovered substantially, implying that stocks have reversed their losses from the big decline and are now rising again, indicating that risk appetite is clearly back. With these types of structural differences, it is likely that BTC will rise to $110,000 and $115,000 in the coming weeks or months. levelsreversing the decline as the whole correction was a bit questionable.
CryptoMichNL advised that instead of relying on a time-based gauge of the 4-year cycle assumption, it is better to focus on the charts and macro relationships that directly impact BTC price.
Activity in the chain clearly shows the confidence of big money

A total of 20,438 BTC, worth approximately $1.9, were purchased in just six hours billion.

Ucan noted that the timing of this purchase is what stands out most. This influx hit the market hours before the Federal Reserve’s upcoming employment figures were released. Institutional clearly expects a supportive outcome. A positive print indicates easing of expectations and new liquidity on the horizon. Retail traders respond and the institutions anticipate it early on. If the Fed confirms what these flows entail, today’s purchases will not look like simple momentum, but preparation.
