Demand for Bitcoin from retail investors has reached its highest level since 2020. Growing interest may explain the steady demand even as long-term owners begin to lock in profits.

🔸Historically, active participation by retail investors often indicates a possible local top. But it also suggests growing market engagement, which, along with institutional interest, could create sustained positive momentum.

Bitcoin is currently in a sideways movement phase and demand from retail investors may gradually decrease. A break above the 100k mark could re-invigorate interest, triggering an emotional upswing in the market.

It is important to monitor the interplay between retail and institutional activity, as strong retail investor participation often signals optimism and institutional interest provides the basis for sustained growth.
