Main Idea
The current Bitcoin bull run is primarily driven by institutional investors and large players, while retail investors remain largely absent, unlike previous cycles marked by retail frenzy.
Key Points
1. Larger investors (institutions, high-volume wallets, ETFs) are aggressively accumulating BTC, signaling long-term confidence.
2. Retail investors are selling BTC despite the price surge, contrasting with past bull runs driven by retail participation.
3. Google Trends data shows muted retail interest in Bitcoin, with no signs of FOMO (fear of missing out) observed in previous cycles.

5. Increased retail participation could signal the end of the bull run, suggesting BTC still has room for growth until then.
