Santiment has explained it as a “major divergence has appeared between large and small investors.” Santiment has said:

“A divergence where whales are selling while retail is buying can be a cautionary signal.”

Still, some analysts have differing opinions concerning the next few weeks’ events surrounding Bitcoin.

“We think ETF investment flows pushed the price to about $125,000 in early October, prior to macro shocks in the second week, a large options expiry, and profit taking, which took it back into the high $100,000s,” the analysts explained.

Bitcoin has a prospect of reaching $130,000 as market conditions improve, according to analysts.

They said, 

 If spot Bitcoin ETF inflows are restored to the levels of above $1b per week, Bitcoin has a chance to approach $130,000, depending on macro conditions. 

“While it's true Bitcoin has always had a positive year-over-year return, it's much less likely given the liquidation event and disruption of market structure in the short term.”
