Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (1 article). Watching for it to gain traction.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Large institutional holders began accumulating Bitcoin near $60,000 and continued buying through $65,000, reversing a five-month period of sideways price action and flipping overall market sentiment from bearish to bullish. This smart money activity is cited as the primary driver of the recent shift in conviction.

WHY IT MATTERS

Institutional accumulation patterns typically precede sustained rallies because large holders have longer time horizons and access to deeper liquidity; when they shift from distribution to accumulation, it often signals confidence in medium-term price appreciation and can attract retail capital inflows.
