Institutional Demand for BTC On the Rise

While the BTC price has faced huge volatility in recent times, on-chain data shows that long-term holders have continued to accumulate at every dip. As per the data from Glassnode, this Bitcoin cohort has accumulated a massive 167,000 BTC—valued at nearly $14 billion—in the past month.

On the other hand, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy has announced plans to raise a massive $500 million for additional BTC purchases. The company, now operating under the name Strategy, has announced plans to issue 5 million shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock. Each share of the perpetual preferred stock is set at a stated value of $100.

While the BTC price has been facing the brunt of the Trump tariff war, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said that it won’t stop Bitcoin from reaching $1 million in the long term.

Will BTC Price Regain $90,000 Quickly?

Although BlackRock Bitcoin ETF inflows resumed once again, the Bitcoin price is still flirting under $83,000 recently. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has also pointed out that BTC faces rejection at the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at around $84,000. Additionally, the 50-day SMA is presenting an extra hurdle, positioned at the $91,000 mark.

On the downside, if Bitcoin doesn’t hold above $80,000, it can further lead to a drop to $75,000 and lower. The Federal Reserve Interest rate decision coming on Wednesday would be crucial to deciding further BTC action from here.
