CryptoQuant analysis indicates that Binance's Bitcoin inflow data has shown significant divergence. The total inflow from whales over the past 30 days is $3.9 billion, a decrease of 44.3% from the peak of about $7 billion on June 12; retail inflows are $7.8 billion, a decrease of only 22% from about $10 billion on June 5. Retail inflows are currently about twice that of whales, with a gap of $3.9 billion.The analysis points out that this divergence coincides with the eve of the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting. Federal funds futures are currently pricing in about a 36% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike, with maintaining the target range of 3.5-3.75% being the more likely scenario. From the perspective of Bitcoin, an unexpected rate hike could support the dollar and Treasury yields, increasing volatility in risk assets; if the rate hike is paused with dovish guidance, it may partially alleviate macro pressures. The Federal Reserve's decision on Wednesday will be a key variable in testing whether this divergence continues or begins to converge.

If there are no significant changes in market structure, Bitcoin still has a high probability of challenging $100,000 before March next year.

Cryptocurrency analyst Amr Taha pointed out that the dynamics of the Bitcoin holder community have recently shown a clear divergence, with large whales continuously accumulating, while medium-sized wallets are selling off at an increasingly rapid pace. Specifically, wallets holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have seen a net increase of approximately 66,700 BTC over the past 60 days, nearing the level of 68,000 BTC reached on June 16.In contrast, wallets holding 100 to 1,000 BTC have a net sell-off of about 77,800 BTC, marking one of the most aggressive selling periods in the current data. Historical data shows that the behavior of wallets holding 100 to 1,000 BTC aligns with significant short-term market turning points. On April 25, this group had a net increase of over 92,000 BTC. About 10 days later, Bitcoin entered a short-term correction, ultimately declining by approximately -29%. Amr Taha believes that the continued accumulation by large holders will reduce the immediately available supply, especially during periods when smaller groups are actively distributing Bitcoin. While group data alone cannot determine future price trends, the current shift in supply towards large wallets may signal positive indications for Bitcoin in the medium term.
