Crypto analyst Ardi has drawn attention to an interesting dynamic amid the Bitcoin price bounce from a recent low of around $59,000. Based on his analysis, the BTC bottomhas likely not formed, with the leading crypto set to fall to new lows. Analyst Explains What Is Going on Amid Bitcoin Price Bounce
In an X post, Ardi said that one of the more interesting developments during this distribution range has been the disconnect between retail and larger market participants. He noted that retail has spent months buying every dip as the Bitcoin price declines, thinking that those declines were likely the bottom being handed on a “silver platter.” Related Reading Bitcoin Trader Says Something Extremely Bad Is Coming Today, Here’s What 1 day ago
While retail investors have been buying the dip, mid-sized and institutional participants have spent the same period selling into every bounce. Ardi noted that people with the least capital are absorbing supply from those with the most. He declared that this is not usually how major bottoms are built in bear cycles, suggesting that the bottom is not yet in. Source: Chart from Ardi on X
Ardi further remarked that institutional-sized traders do not need retail participation to form a bottom for the Bitcoin price. He added that major bottoms are, in fact, formed after retail finally gives up. However, that is not the case at the moment as retail conviction remains high while larger investorsare reducing their exposure. The analyst said that it is hard to argue that true capitulation has occurred until the dynamics change.
The Bitcoin ETFshave largely contributed to the latest Bitcoin price crash, with these funds seeing record net outflows over the last month. These ETFs have also seen outflows in 15 out of the last 16 trading days, a development that has significantly put downward pressure on the BTC price. BTC About To Reach A Market Bottom
In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez said that the Bitcoin price is about to reach a market bottom. He cited technical and on-chain metrics that signal that a major macro accumulation cycle is starting. The analyst noted that the recent pullback has successfully flushed out overleveraged premiums across the board and that this move was accelerated by long-term holderswho distributed over $3.25 billion in spot BTC.

With the Bitcoin price declining to $59,000, Martinez revealed that over 10.46 million BTC is currently held at a loss. He noted that historically, every time the supply-in-loss metric crosses the extreme 10 million threshold, it has accurately timed macro bottoms. The analyst also pointed to the 1.0 to 0.8 MVRV bands, which suggest that BTC could bottom between $53,900 and $43,150.
