Bitcoin whales trim holdings as retail steps in – Can BTC reclaim $80K?

Bitcoin whales appear to be reducing their holdings while retail participation increases, signaling a shift in market ownership and potentially weaker support from large investors. This distribution may limit Bitcoin’s near-term upside despite renewed retail demand, leaving the $80,000 level difficult to reclaim without stronger institutional or whale accumulation. The balance between continued retail buying and further whale selling will likely determine whether BTC can sustain a recovery.
