Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez noticed Bitcoin’s range-bound movement and projected the “next major move” after a close outside the $106,900–$108,200 zone.

According to blockchain analytics firm Santiment, the number of wallets holding at least 10 BTC jumped to its highest level since mid-March, signaling high institutional interest.

“As markets have been volatile, smart money has accumulated on most retail panic sell cycles,” Santiment added.
