Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin's 'Accumulation Cylinder': Whale Buying Echoes Livermore's 1940s Bull Setup
[1] Bitcoin's price has drawn renewed attention as analysts weigh in on its potential trajectory toward $250,000. At $123,989 as of the latest data, the cryptocurrency has surged 11% weekly and nearly 12% monthly, despite a 0.83% 24-hour dip. On-chain metrics, including Glassnode's Accumulation Trend Score of 0.74, highlight sustained institutional and whale buying, signaling a shift from distribution to accumulation. This score, which measures large holder activity, aligns with historical bull cycles, such as the 2021 rally, and suggests reduced sell-side pressure. Analysts attribute this trend to structural factors like spot BitcoinBTC-- ETF inflows, which have attracted over $50 billion in 2025, tightening supply and fostering long-term holder demand[1].
[2] The analogy to Jesse Livermore's "accumulation cylinder" framework has gained traction among market observers. Poseidon, a prominent analyst, compared Bitcoin's multi-year price structure to Livermore's 1940s model, which describes a phase where "smart money" quietly builds exposure amid low volatility. Historical parallels suggest that such accumulation phases often precede multi-year rallies. Poseidon noted that the current price range of $120,000 to $250,000 could represent the early markup phase, where latecomers re-enter the market. While speculative, this framework underscores a broader narrative of institutional confidence and macroeconomic neutrality, as Bitcoin increasingly functions as a macro-hedge asset[2].
[3] Institutional adoption through ETFs remains a cornerstone of Bitcoin's resilience. Products like BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) have enabled regulated exposure, with fund managers purchasing BTC to match inflows. This structural demand has created a stabilizing effect, reducing volatility and positioning Bitcoin as part of traditional capital-market portfolios. Analysts argue that this cycle differs from prior speculative rallies, which were driven by retail leverage. The current ETF-driven accumulation, they note, reflects a shift toward long-term institutional horizons, reinforcing Bitcoin's status as a macro investment instrument[3].
[4] Divergent price forecasts highlight the uncertainty in timing the next leg of the rally. VanEck, Fundstrat, and Standard Chartered project a 2025 peak between $180,000 and $250,000, citing institutional adoption and historical cycles. Conversely, technical analysts emphasize near-term resistance at $120,000, with consolidation expected before a potential breakout to $135,729. Glassnode co-founders Jan Happel and Yan Allemann warned that Bitcoin's bull run could peak within 4–5 weeks, with altcoins following 6–8 weeks later. They cited on-chain signals, including realized profit-to-loss ratios and long-term holder activity, as indicators of potential exhaustion[4].
[5] Macro factors, including global liquidity and Treasury yields, further complicate the outlook. Nik Bhatia, author of The Bitcoin Layer, noted that Bitcoin's 2025 rally mirrors 2021's reflationary environment but is driven by a search for neutrality amid rising debt and fiscal uncertainty. Analysts like Arthur Hayes emphasized that Bitcoin's price is increasingly tied to expectations of fiat supply, with expanding liquidity reinforcing bullish projections. However, risks remain, including potential corrections in 2026 and macroeconomic shocks. Despite these challenges, the alignment of on-chain accumulation, ETF inflows, and historical patterns suggests a durable uptrend, with $250,000 becoming a realistic target within 18–24 months if institutional participation persists[5].
[6] The debate over Bitcoin's role in a post-crisis financial realignment has intensified. Stack Hodler and other analysts argue that Bitcoin's finite supply positions it to benefit from capital fleeing fiat assets as global debt spirals. With $7 trillion in money market funds seeking alternatives, Bitcoin's potential as a "canary in the coal mine" for macro shifts has gained traction. While projections like Cathie Wood's $500,000–$2.4 million range for 2030 appear extreme, they reflect a growing belief in Bitcoin's structural role amid systemic financial reconfigurations. The coming months will test whether the current consolidation phase evolves into a sustained breakout or a temporary pause[6].
[7] Market structure indicators, including the 20-day EMA and RSI, suggest a range-bound setup between $115,000 and $123,218 in the short term. A sustained close above $120,064 could trigger a retest of all-time highs, while a drop below $110,530 might favor bears. Traders are monitoring volume, open interest, and funding rates for clarity. Analysts caution that while the technical and on-chain fundamentals are robust, external shocks-such as regulatory changes or geopolitical risks-could alter the trajectory. For now, the market remains poised at a critical juncture, with the next few weeks likely to define Bitcoin's path toward $250,000[7].
