Will Bitcoin's 5-year ascending channel finally break this time?
Here's what stands out to me: the majority of BTC in circulation isn't in retail hands right now. Coming from someone still learning market dynamics, but historically speaking—that's not typically how bull markets conclude. When you see money concentrated in fewer hands and retail hasn't even stepped in yet, it usually signals more upside potential before the actual reversal. The distribution pattern matters more than most realize when trying to read where we're headed.

Wait, you mean institutions are still accumulating coins? So retail investors haven't really gotten on board yet... Looking at it this way, it does seem significant, no wonder some say it's just the beginning.

The ones who bought the dip haven't lost yet; retail investors are just about to enter the market.

Ha, here we go again with the Bitcoin distribution theory? Every time, it's said that retail investors haven't entered the market.

Whales are still accumulating, retail investors haven't jumped in yet, and there's still plenty of room for this wave to grow.
