Retail investors are disappearing quickly!
Analysis of the 30-day volatility of retail demand (transactions from $0 to $10K) shows the behavior of this group.
As BTC approaches $100K, retail demand volatility increased by more than 30%.
History shows that when volatility exceeds 15%, it usually signals a local peak. This occurred when BTC reached a new peak at $108K.
After a slight adjustment, retail demand dropped sharply to -16%.
When volatility is below -10%, retail interest decreases significantly, often creating ideal buying opportunities when the market typically reacts positively.
However, it is important to view this in context; the increase in retail demand is still a positive signal for the market.
