Darkfost shared that the Bitcoin retail activity and demand appeared to have been “relatively stable” for nearly a year before its recent exhaustion. Data from CryptoQuant shows that the demand of BTC retail investors, averaged on a monthly basis, has fallen to -10%, its lowest level since January 2025.
Darkfost noted in their post:
Historically, retail demand tends to increase sharply when Bitcoin performs well and then declines just as quickly when BTC corrects. We can clearly observe that retail demand tends to shrink when bottoms are forming or during bear markets.
“Still, the current lack of retail interest deserves close attention, as such periods have historically been associated with corrections that are already well underway,” the analyst concluded.
