Today, the digital asset market remains in a choppy but relatively strong posture, though on-chain fund flows have clearly diverged. BTC continues to receive sustained institutional buying, while ETH faces persistent borrowing and selling pressure from super whales, signaling a transition from broad-based rallies to a more structural market dynamic. On-chain data shows that Strategy has once again announced an additional purchase of approximately $100 million in Bitcoin, raising its total holdings to around 846,800 BTC. Continued institutional accumulation signals long-term bullish sentiment and has helped establish a strong support zone for BTC near $65,000. Although short-term profit-taking pressure persists, institutional spot buying is offsetting part of the selling pressure. In stark contrast, the ETH market is under pressure. Recent monitoring reveals that a large on-chain address has been consistently borrowing ETH via Aave and selling it into the market. This address has now borrowed and sold over 44,000 ETH, totaling more than $80 million. Borrowing activity remains ongoing, fueling widespread concern that additional selling pressure may follow. As a result, while ETH maintains a rebound structure, upward resistance has strengthened significantly, increasing the risk of chasing price gains in the short term. Signs of capital rotation are also emerging. With ETH facing heavy selling pressure, some risk-seeking capital has begun shifting toward higher-elasticity assets such as SOL. SOL has consistently outperformed the broader market and remains one of the leading performers among major assets, emerging as a key bullish focus. In the altcoin space, on-chain monitoring indicates that several active whale addresses have transferred stablecoins to derivative platforms like Hyperliquid, positioning ahead of anticipated volatility. Market participants expect that as key macroeconomic data windows approach, intraday swings in high-volatility assets such as PEPE and SUI may further widen—though directional momentum still awaits clear capital allocation. Overall, the market has entered a three-way dynamic between institutional buyers, on-chain short sellers, and short-term speculative capital. BTC is supported by institutional spot demand, ETH faces sustained borrowing-driven selling, and capital is beginning to rotate toward stronger sectors. On the trading front, we recommend reducing leverage, increasing cash positions, and closely monitoring BTC’s key resistance levels, ETH whale borrowing trends, and whether capital continues concentrating in high-strength assets like SOL. Risk Warning: The market is approaching a critical window for major macroeconomic data releases; short-term volatility may rise significantly. Strict position sizing and risk exposure controls are essential.
