BTC at a critical price level showdown: Whales buying up vs Retail investors fleeing

【Crypto World】BTC's recent performance has seen multiple attempts to push above $98,100, but now it is retreating and oscillating around $95,500. The interesting part is—retail investors are busy running away to lock in profits, while institutions and whales are instead heavily accumulating here, with both sides playing completely opposite strategies.

From a technical perspective, the $96,800 to $97,900 range is a relatively strong resistance zone with a pile of sell orders, while the real support lies between $95,200 and $94,000. Liquidity is abundant on both sides, meaning a showdown is inevitable—either a direct breakout above $98,000 to trigger a short squeeze and force the bears to cry; or a break below $94,000, which could lead to accelerated flow towards the deep support at $92,000. The sideways movement won't last long; the key moments will come quickly.
