Bitcoin (BTC) Momentum Builds as Aggressive Buyers Flood the Market

Bitcoin's [BTC] momentum is building once again, as aggressive buyers flood the market.

Bitcoin’s momentum is heating up once again, as aggressive buyers return to the market following a period of price stability.

The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio has surged to 1.02 – a level not seen since prior to several historic price breakouts — showing a shift in market confidence.

On-chain data shows large wallets ramping up accumulation, positioning ahead of what many speculate could be a final push toward new all-time highs (ATHs).

As sentiment simmers and BTC hovers below its previous peak, is the next leg of the rally about to begin?

A surge in market confidence?

According to a recent CryptoQuant report, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio has broken decisively above the 1.00 mark, hitting 1.02 – a threshold that has previously been linked to breakout moments in Bitcoin’s price action.

Similar spikes were recorded near the $15K-$20K accumulation zone in late 2022 and just before the $30K breakout in October 2023.

With BTC now pivoting around all-time highs, the return of the Taker Ratio above 1.0 indicates a return of strong buying pressure, which could be setting the stage for a sustained rally.

However, this threshold has also been known to precede sharp reversals, making it a critical level to monitor closely.

Mega holders have paused

While overall accumulation trends remain bullish, a closer look reveals a subtle shift in behavior.

According to Glassnode, ultra-large whales holding over 10,000 BTC have paused their buying activity, returning to a neutral accumulation score around 0.5.

In contrast, mid-sized cohorts — wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC — remain active buyers, with scores close to 0.9.

Smaller, institutional-sized wallets also show continued strength throughout the recent price surges.

As for the retail tier, they continue to distribute their holdings following the recent price highs.

This shift in emphasis suggests that while bullish momentum persists, the rally is increasingly being driven by mid-tier whales rather than the deepest pockets.

Bitcoin shows signs of exhaustion

The RSI at 70.68 confirmed overbought conditions, often a precursor to local tops or minor corrections.

Also, the MACD remained bullish, with the MACD line above the signal line. However, momentum was flattening — reflecting cooling buying pressure.

The latest price action saw Bitcoin stall despite earlier surges, hinting at potential exhaustion.

If BTC fails to break convincingly above $105K, a short-term pullback to $100K or lower support zones remains in sight before any sustained breakout attempt.
