The recent Bitcoin pullback signals have not stopped, with retail investors actively buying while large holders are heavily selling. According to Santiment data, large holders have sold about 66%. This divergence between retail investors' panic buying and large holders' exit suggests the market may continue to correct, and we need to wait for large holders' positions to stabilize.

According to Cointelegraph citing Santiment data, Bitcoin’s recent pullback may not be over yet and is showing bearish signals of “retail investors buying, large holders selling.” Santiment pointed out that after Bitcoin’s price reached a local high of $74,000, key stakeholders holding 10 to 10,000 BTC (whales) began to take profits on a large scale, selling about 66% of their recent accumulated shares in the past 48 hours. Meanwhile, retail investors holding less than 0.01 BTC are actively “buying the dip,” attempting to scoop up the asset. Historical data indicates that the divergence where retail investors buy in panic while large holders exit often signals that the correction will continue, and the market may need to wait until large holders’ holdings stabilize or start rising again before confirming a bottom.
