Bitcoin Faces Mixed Signals: Institutional Investors Accumulate Amid Retail Weakness

Bitcoin has experienced notable price volatility since the start of the year, with its performance showing mixed signals. Institutional investors, however, appear to have maintained their confidence in the asset despite recent market corrections. According to a recent analysis shared by CryptoQuant contributor caueconomy on the QuickTake platform, institutional players have been strategically accumulating Bitcoin, suggesting long-term confidence in the asset’s value trajectory. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Forming A Symmetrical Triangle – Breakout Or Breakdown? Bitcoin Institutional Accumulation Signals Market Confidence caueconomy revealed that on December 21, investors sold approximately 79,000 BTC within a week, triggering a significant market correction of around 15%. This sell-off marked a local top and was followed by a phase of price consolidation. However, instead of exiting the market, large investors utilized the price dip to open Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) positions, gradually accumulating Bitcoin just below the $95,000 mark. Over the past 30 days, institutional players have added more than 34,000 BTC to their portfolios, creating a layer of buying pressure that supports Bitcoin’s current recovery phase. Interestingly, the analyst pointed out that this trend has been consistent since June 2023, even during periods of rebalancing in institutional portfolios. While retail investor demand has hit a five-year low, institutional interest remains notably strong, indicating a divergence in market behavior between retail and institutional participants. This sustained accumulation suggests that large investors anticipate long-term value Increased Selling Pressure On Binance Sparks Market Concern While institutional accumulation has provided some support for Bitcoin’s price, another CryptoQuant contributor, Darkfost, highlighted growing selling pressure on Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. In a separate analysis, Darkfost noted a sharp increase in hourly Net Taker Volume, which turned significantly negative, peaking at -$325 million — the highest figure recorded in 2025. This surge in selling pressure coincided with the release of unfavorable economic data from the ISM PMI and JOLTs Job Openings reports, which affected broader market sentiment across risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

Darksfost suggested, noting: Monitoring this indicator, along with others, will be essential to determine whether fear is starting to dominate the markets over the long term or if it is merely temporary. Despite this intensified selling activity, Bitcoin has managed to maintain support above the $95,000 level. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $95,586, reflecting a 5.2% decline over the past 24 hours. The price remains significantly below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $108,000, recorded last month, marking an 11.8% drop from its peak. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView
