Bitcoin’s recent surge has kept its price firmly above the $100,000 price level, reflecting ongoing investor confidence. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $103,527, posting a 4.3% gain in the past 24 hours and climbing 33% over the last month.
While still approximately 5% below its all-time high recorded in January, the market has displayed consistent upward momentum, with technical and on-chain signals indicating continued accumulation.
On-Chain Metrics Reflect Growing Confidence
This latest rally comes amid broader economic uncertainty and renewed geopolitical activity. According to data shared by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, current market patterns mirror a period last seen almost 5 years ago, marked by high volatility and conflicting economic narratives.
While central banks such as the Federal Reserve have maintained a cautious stance, investor sentiment appears to be shifting toward risk-on, as headlines around trade agreements and fiscal maneuvering spark a surge in buying interest.
Darkfost points to the Bitcoin Growth Rate indicator, which has returned to bullish territory alongside BTC reclaiming the $100,000 level. The analyst notes that current market dynamics resemble the June 2020 cycle, particularly in how external political developments influence asset flows.
For example, recent trade talks initiated by the Trump administration and aggressive posturing on global policy are fueling rapid investor reactions across equities and crypto alike. This sentiment-driven environment, according to Darkfost, makes it challenging to rely solely on traditional metrics for forecasting price trends.
Complicating the picture is the impact of news-driven narratives. Darkfost wrote:
This can notably be explained by all the headline-driven effects, like the one we saw today (“You should buy stocks now”), but also by the fact that Trump is starting to pursue trade deals with various countries, such as the agreements made today with the U.K.
These signals may be pushing investors into crypto assets as part of broader diversification strategies. Despite the Federal Reserve’s warning for continued caution, the market seems to be faced with a fear of missing out, creating further upside volatility.
Bitcoin Whales Continue to Accumulate as Retail Lags
In a related analysis, another CryptoQuant analyst caueconomy revealed that large-scale Bitcoin holders have remained active throughout the recent price recovery. Over the last month, wallets classified as “whales” have added roughly 41,300 BTC to their balances.
This steady accumulation, especially from institutional investors and corporations, indicates that strategic positioning continues regardless of mixed macroeconomic signals.
According to caueconomy, this accumulation is not being driven by retail speculation but by institutional entities using corporate resources such as retained earnings and debt issuance.
This form of capital inflow, often described as “passive” accumulation, can generate sustained demand pressure independent of market cycles. As a result, Bitcoin’s recent gains may be supported by a structurally different class of buyers than in previous bull markets.

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.
When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)
Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.
In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.
Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
