The current crypto market is showing a confusing picture: prices are falling, yet on-chain data and fund flows show active institutional accumulation.
Big players never buy in green markets.
They accumulate in periods of fear, when retail is selling.
This creates a scenario where price drops while institutional wallets grow.
Their strategy:
Buy in small batches
Absorb sell pressure
Avoid pumping the chart
Market Makers Push Price Down to Create Liquidity.
Whales and market makers often drive prices lower intentionally to:
Trigger stop-loss clusters
Flush leverage
Collect liquidity
Accumulate cheaper positions
This is a classic shakeout → accumulation → expansion pattern.
Short-Term Scenarios
Bullish
Selling slows, institutions continue accumulation
Market forms a higher low
#btc and alts bounce on reduced liquidation pressure
Bearish
More leverage flushes
Retail panic increases
Price tests deeper support zones
