Bitcoin is nearing all-time highs, but one key group hasn’t joined the party yet. According to new data from CryptoQuant, wallets holding between $0 and $10,000 have shown little to no movement over the past 30 days.
In simple terms, retail investors are still on the sidelines, despite BTC trading above $70,000.
Who’s driving this rally?
The current price action seems to be fueled by whales and institutional players. The chart clearly shows that while Bitcoin’s price (white line) continues to climb, retail demand (green line) has remained neutral, hovering near 0 percent.
Meanwhile, total transfer volume for small wallets (orange line) has also stayed flat, reinforcing the idea that major capital is behind this momentum.
A familiar pattern
Historically, retail tends to join the market late. When they do, they often rush in during moments of hype, pushing prices even higher. That pattern hasn’t kicked in yet.
This could mean two things:
- The current cycle still has room to grow before reaching its peak.
- The next explosive move might begin once small investors start entering.
Something to think about
If you’re still waiting for the “perfect moment,” remember that retail is usually the last to act. Those who move earlier often benefit the most.
Are you paying attention or just planning to look back once it’s too late?
