According to @FarsideUK, Bitcoin (BTC) is in a consolidation phase around $106,000, experiencing its weakest monthly growth in a year despite strong spot ETF inflows totaling $3.9 billion in recent weeks. On-chain analysis from Glassnode reveals a market standoff: whales holding over 10,000 BTC are showing signs of distribution, while long-term holders remain patient, with their supply reaching 14.7 million BTC and the Liveliness metric declining. Concurrently, QCP reports persistent institutional demand but notes a rise in leveraged long positions, creating a 'fragile equilibrium'. This dynamic is further highlighted by corporate adoption signals, such as design firm Figma disclosing a $70 million Bitcoin ETF position and DeFi Development Corp. planning a $100 million raise to potentially acquire more Solana (SOL). This standoff between patient HODLers and leveraged traders suggests the market is building towards a potentially explosive price move.
