"Sharp fluctuations have subsided…Bitcoin sees 'quiet profit-taking' led by institutions"
Summary
- It was analyzed that during Bitcoin's recent rally, there was no excessive profit-taking or sharp downturn.
- It was noted that profit-taking is being conducted more systematically and strategically due to the increased proportion of institutional investors.
- Cases of short-term corrections following historical profit-taking were referenced as a reminder that investors should stay vigilant.

Recently, there has been analysis suggesting that unlike in the past, Bitcoin (BTC) rallies are continuing without a sharp drop caused by clear profit-taking.
According to the on-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant, on the 29th, Onchain School analyst explained in a QuickTake report, "Looking at Bitcoin's Net Realized Profit/Loss (NRPL) metric, there hasn't been excessive profit-taking observed during the recent rally." This indicates a different pattern compared to the profit-taking behaviors that triggered sharp declines in the past.
The analyst noted, "Although there was substantial profit-taking after April 20, it occurred in a controlled manner without large-scale sell-offs that would shock the market," and added, "Recently, as the proportion of institutional investors has increased, profit-taking is happening in a more systematic and strategic way."
They also pointed out that "market volatility is gradually decreasing," and stated, "This could be a result of tighter crypto regulations suppressing speculative 'pump and dump' schemes seen in the past."
The analyst mentioned, "Looking at previous cases, short-term corrections generally followed profit-taking," and advised, "Investors should continue to remain cautious."
