BTC reclaims $93K but on-chain demand stays flat—volume at holiday lows. Sentiment mixed as buyers wait on sidelines. Post-holiday surge could fuel the $100K push.

In March, a large buying volume emerged with the fall of Bitcoin and high levels of market uncertainty, marking the largest weekly accumulation in whale wallets. However, in the last week, whales accumulated more than 45,000 BTCs, marking the second-largest weekly accumulation process in these wallets. Large players are once again taking advantage of the capitulation of small investors to absorb coins. What do you think happens next?  

After a strong rise in Bitcoin prices, profit-taking levels surpassed more than $3.7 billion yesterday, registering the 5th-largest volume this year. While this high level of profit-taking may impact spot selling pressure, it does not yet reveal a significant predominance of short-term investors. We may see this volume increase in the coming weeks.  

As I recently analyzed on x (@caueconomy), the trend of reducing exposure by major Bitcoin network players continues to intensify, reaching the largest coin distribution this year. In the last thirty days, whale reserves have fallen by more than 100,000 BTC, signaling intense risk aversion among large investors. This selling pressure has been penalizing the price structure in the short term, ultimately pushing prices below US$108,000. At this time, we are still seeing these reductions in the portfolios of major players, which may continue to pressure Bitcoin in the coming weeks.  

In the last seven days, wallets of major Bitcoin network players have accumulated more than 16,000 BTC, indicating a pattern of absorption in the price drop known as "buy the dip." This pattern reveals something similar to what we saw in the first correction in early August, with major players accumulating Bitcoin as Bitcoin's price fell and smaller investors capitulated at a loss. If this pattern repeats, we should soon see a local bottom and a short-term reversal, but the medium-term structure will depend on improvements in on-chain fundamentals.  

High profit-taking by large players. OTC desks have also been attacking these platforms' order books. Note that the rising volume puts pressure on the price of BTC, which falls as these coins are offered for sale on the spot market. Despite this high volume, the price of Bitcoin has not yet fallen below US$110,000, indicating that net buying interest remains high in the medium term.  

Despite the price of bitcoin being close to all-time highs, trading volume on exchanges remains at multi-year lows, signaling that appetite for trading remains low. Part of this low volume is due to the increased share of spot ETFs in total bitcoin trading volume, but a significant portion is still due to low interest in altcoins. This low volume does not coincide with periods of euphoria or high demand for cryptocurrencies and bitcoin, signaling that the current structure of bitcoin is being driven more by conscious allocators and not inexperienced speculators. It will be necessary to monitor these spikes in activity, because when we see a return of this demand, we will probably be close to a new local top.
