In the dynamic and often opaque world of Bitcoin trading, institutional traders are operating with a fundamentally different playbook. These players are actively hunting for low-volume areas and under-traded levels, seeing them as strategic advantages for maximizing profit.
Why Institutions Avoid The Crowd And Target The Gaps
Bitcoin’s institutional traders and big players are actively hunting low-volume areas. These zones are thinly traded areas, which shows that there are fewer resting orders, making it easier to fill massive positions with less slippage. In an X post, a crypto analyst known as Killa has stated that throughout this entire rally, players have hunted Low Volume Nodes (LVNs), or in simpler terms, the volume areas are lows every single time.
The reason for this accumulation is that if the BTC price is stalling, volume is increasing, and BTC is unable to follow through with bullish momentum, it shows that 75% of the time, the market is preparing to retrace to lower areas of demand. This is simple basic supply and demand dynamics playing out.
However, there has been a major increase in volume around these highs, coupled with the multiple sweeps of liquidity above them. Despite what might seem like bullish tariff catalysts, the market has failed to push higher. If this combination happens, it could be a sign of distribution rather than re-accumulation of the trend.
Furthermore, if BTC can’t decisively reclaim the $114,000 monthly open, then the next logical target points downwards to the Volume Area Low (VAL) below $100,000. Should BTC push below $100,000 and manage to reclaim the VAL, then this will be a deviation into expansion, which is a reclaim of the range. On the other hand, if BTC is unable to reclaim the VAL after testing below $100,000, it would point to a bear market towards $50,000 to $60,000 range.
October Leverage Bloodbath Is Still Echoing
A popular crypto news source, CryptosRus, has mentioned that Bloomberg has dropped a report that the October liquidation shocks are still haunting crypto. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is back near $107,000, but the reason is not new Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) or macro pressure, but because traders are still shaken from the October wipeout.
The liquidation flushed billions in leverage, which is the biggest clean-out this market has seen in years. This drained confidence and completely sidelined buyers who still haven’t stepped back into the arena with conviction. Bloomberg says that the October shock absolutely repelled new demand, even as global risk assets continue to rally. Presently, the fundamentals for BTC are actually fine, but the sentiment is shell-shocked. According to CryptorRus, this is not a weakness, but it’s a recovery mode.
