Bitcoin. Institutions 'Full Buy' $2.5 Billion...Mega Bull Market Explodes

▲ Blockchain, Virtual Assets, Institutions/

Amid rising expectations for a Middle East peace agreement, large-scale funds from institutional investors have flowed in, enabling Bitcoin (BTC) to break through its long-term downtrend and enter a new upward phase.

Crypto analyst Lark Davis stated in a video released on April 21 (local time) that peace negotiations between the US and Iran are underway in Islamabad, Pakistan, and that these negotiations are likely to lead to a more positive outcome than in the past. He analyzed that if an agreement is reached, oil prices could fall, and risk assets, including Bitcoin, could rebound strongly. He predicted that the market would react sensitively to these geopolitical variables, showing significant volatility.

The movement of institutional funds is already revealing the market's direction. MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, invested approximately $2.5 billion last week alone to purchase an additional 34,064 BTC. Bitcoin spot ETFs also recorded net inflows of about $1 billion, clearly indicating a strengthening of institution-led buying. This large-scale accumulation is a trend rarely seen in past bear markets and is considered a key factor supporting the market bottom.

Technically, a crucial turning point has also formed. Bitcoin is attempting to break through the long-term downtrend line that has continued since October last year. Davis emphasized that if the price settles above the $78,500 mark on a daily basis, a full-fledged upward phase could begin. The expansion of Bitcoin's market share also suggests that the market structure is being reshaped.

Institutional accumulation has also been observed in the Ethereum market. Bitmine, led by Tom Lee, purchased approximately $250 million worth of Ethereum in just one day. The company continues its accumulation strategy with the long-term goal of securing 5% of the total supply. Technical indicators also showed a bullish reversal signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also moved out of the oversold zone, suggesting a potential rebound.

Overall market capital flows are also extending to major corporate issues. Under the Donald Trump administration, SpaceX is pursuing a June listing with a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion, and Amazon has made a large-scale investment in the artificial intelligence company Anthropic. Davis pointed out that these major events could be used as liquidity windows for early investors to realize profits, emphasizing the need to pay attention to the potential for increased market volatility.
