During the recent Bitcoin price dip, wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC displayed notable confidence, consistently increasing their holdings as the market declined.

In contrast, wallets with less than 1 BTC exhibited a lack of conviction, experiencing the most significant reduction in holdings during yesterday’s downturn.

Institutional investment in Bitcoin is at unprecedented levels, yet market sentiment remains entrenched in extreme fear.

Over the past 48 hours, Bitcoin whales have purchased more than 30,000 BTC, valued at around $1.62 billion. This activity is evident from a surge in exchange outflows and a reduction in BTC held on exchanges.

In the short term, Bitcoin is forming a rising wedge pattern, which historically signals potential downtrends. While Bitcoin may reach the upper boundary of the wedge, around $56,000 to $57,000, traders should be cautious of a possible breakdown that could see prices retreat to approximately $51,000.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs Data Records Total Net Outflow Of $168 Million 

On August 5, Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced a total net outflow of $168 million. Grayscale’s GBTC saw an outflow of $69.115 million, while the Grayscale mini ETF BTC experienced an inflow of $21.814 million. Fidelity’s FBTC had an outflow of $58.04 million, and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB also saw an outflow of $69 million.

This combination of increased institutional interest and market volatility reflects the current complexity of Bitcoin’s market dynamics, as significant investments are contrasted by broader investor anxiety.
