As Bitcoin hovers ahead of key data, institutional and retail investors exhibit divergent behaviors. Institutions, guided by long-term fundamentals, may use volatility to accumulate (e.g., ETF inflows rise 15–20% during dips), viewing short-term noise as a buying opportunity. Retail investors, however, are more influenced by immediate sentiment—fear of data-driven swings may prompt selling, while FOMO could lead to chasing breakouts. This divide creates a "smart money vs. dumb money" dynamic: institutions build positions quietly, while retail trades react to short-term signals, often exacerbating intra-day volatility.
