BTC $120,000 - Retail investors have finally caught up with institutional players.
This time, the rhythm of FOMO is set by Wall Street.
$120,000 BTC marks a milestone: the average cost of institutional purchases over the past few years has been around this range. Now that the price has returned here, it not only means they have maintained their facade, but also that they are starting to have profit margins.
Driving factors:
1. Supply and demand structure optimization: The supply of new coins sharply decreases after the halving, while institutions and long-term holders continue to accumulate.
2. Cross-market synergy: US stocks are fluctuating at high levels, with some funds flowing into crypto assets in search of high elastic returns.
3. The infrastructure of the crypto market is maturing: clearing systems, custody services, and derivatives markets are improving, attracting traditional funds to enter safely.
Interestingly, this wave of increase feels more like "being swept along" for retail investors - it is not that they suddenly became optimistic, but rather that they are being pulled along by institutional buying. The change in sentiment is clear: previously it was "institutions offloading while I pick up the pieces," now it is "institutions grabbing shares while I chase the rise."
The trading volume of BTC around $120,000 is very different from the FOMO at the top of the bull market—more large, low-frequency institutional orders rather than retail investors chasing prices with fragmented orders. This suggests that the endurance of this market trend may be stronger than imagined.
When Wall Street is lifting you up, at least don't be in a hurry to jump off in the short term.
