Matrixport Research: BTC price breaks new high, market's long-term allocation intention is evident

BTC price has surpassed the $110,000 mark. Despite geopolitical tensions and tariff-related news creating uncertainty in the overall market environment, reasonable operations can still seize the opportunities brought by this round of rising trends.

The participation of retail investors in this round of market is low, and the dynamics of large holders have become key indicators of price fluctuations

Although BTC price has reached a historic high, traditional retail participation indicators remain surprisingly sluggish, causing many traders to miss out on this rise. This round of market movement largely lacks the driving force of retail funds. Unlike the enthusiastic atmosphere and emotional exuberance seen in previous bull markets, this rise clearly lacks retail momentum. Funding rates remain low, retail trading activity is extremely low, and the performance of other mainstream crypto assets is also generally lagging.

Unlike previous bull market cycles, the current proportion of retail investors in the BTC holding structure is no longer increasing. This contradicts a widely held view that BTC is still in the early stages of absorbing billions of new users. On-chain data shows that a large amount of circulating BTC is continuously being absorbed by a few whale-level wallets.

As this trend accelerates, clarifying how enterprise-level demand drives price behavior and its continuation cycle has become key to market judgment. Continuously monitoring on-chain data and wallet activity will help gain insights into the evolution direction of holding power structure and identify key price ranges where large holders may enter or reduce their positions.

BTC ownership transfer is underway, and market long-term allocation intentions are clear

In this round of market movement, retail investors are basically absent, which well explains why funding rates and trading volumes remain sluggish. We are witnessing a quiet and orderly transfer of BTC ownership—from early users, investors, miners, and exchanges, gradually flowing to a new generation of institutional investors represented by MicroStrategy. This structural shift further indicates that the demand for call options remains weak, and implied volatility also stays low.

The current round of rising is mainly driven by continuous accumulation in the spot market, rather than speculative derivative trading, reflecting the market's long-term allocation intentions rather than short-term speculative emotions.

In sudden market corrections, some traders often suffer significant losses due to misjudgments. The key to losses is not necessarily closing positions during sharp declines—this approach can be reasonable in certain situations. The real issue is that they fail to identify potential correction risks in advance, and even when relevant warning signals have emerged, they still choose to ignore analytical conclusions.
