Did you know there is an OTC (Over the Counter) market in cryptos?

But you have to have big money or an institution to get in — considering it could be $100k minimum trade.

None of this “huge volume” by institutions is reflected in daily exchange trading.

You may find it odd how BTC seems to stat in a “range” for months —- very unlike Bitcoin. But this is where we are with large players accumulating.

You can read the articles above for yourself.

When will they be ready for things to move up?

Is it related to the CBOE Bitcoin futures which had been shorting ?

If bitcoin were not desired, institutions would not be making massive purchases for months.

Only time will tell, but the data is there for anyone who wants to read for themselves.

Just another reason to HODL..
