Just been looking at Bitcoin's moves since April and it's been wild - up 37% but here's the thing, analysts are calling it a bear market rally, not the start of a real bull market. CryptoQuant data shows something interesting: realized profits hit 14,600 BTC on a single day back in May, highest since December. That's profit-taking at levels we haven't seen in months.
What caught my attention is the gap between what's happening now and what actual bull markets look like. In real bull runs, you typically see 130,000 to 200,000 BTC in 30-day realized profits. Right now we're at around 20,000 BTC - nowhere close. The rally's been driven by easing macro pressures and leverage traders piling into perpetual futures, but spot buying has been weak. It's the kind of setup that feels strong on the surface but could reverse hard.
Current price is sitting around $77K after the recent pullback. The warning signs are there: selling pressure building, weak exchange inflows, and volatility metrics flashing greed while actual investor sentiment stays in fear territory. All of this suggests the upside could be limited and a meaningful correction might be waiting. Worth watching closely if you're holding.
