Looking at the BTC CVD indicator, there's some interesting activity playing out. Institutional players (the purple cohort) have been accumulating at depressed levels, steadily building their positions. On the flip side, retail traders keep dumping their holdings into this weakness. The 90.4k support level is holding firm for now, acting as a price floor with meaningful buy interest stacked up. Whether this accumulation phase leads to a breakout depends on how long retail sellers can keep the pressure on.

It should be pointed out that there is a fundamental flaw in this on-chain data analysis—reducing the binary opposition between institutional accumulation and retail selling. This directly contradicts Satoshi Nakamoto's original logic of value discovery in the white paper. Undoubtedly, the robustness of the 90.4k support level does not stem from the superficial "buy order accumulation," but from a deeper consensus game. Let me say this: true breakouts do not wait for retail to compromise; instead, they originate from a re-understanding of the technological fundamentals.

Institutions are quietly accumulating at low levels again, while retail investors are still panicking and selling off. We've seen this trick many times before.

Institutions are accumulating shares while retail investors are selling off; I've seen this pattern many times. How long can 90.4k hold up depends on various factors.

Institutions are accumulating shares, while retail investors are taking losses. When will this show finally turn around?
