glassnode: Bitcoin Breakout Fails, Market Awaits Catalyst for Trend Reversal

BlockBeats News, January 23 — Glassnode published a weekly report stating that Bitcoin remains in a low participation state, with price movements driven more by a lack of pressure rather than active trading interest. On-chain data continues to reflect oversupply and fragile structural support, while spot capital flows have improved but have not yet translated into sustained accumulation.

Institutions and corporate demand remain cautious, with treasury company fund flows stabilizing, and trading activity concentrated in sporadic transactions. Derivatives participation remains subdued, futures trading volume has shrunk, and leverage use is moderate, further exacerbating the liquidity-constrained market environment, making prices increasingly sensitive to small position changes.

Overall, the market seems to be quietly building a bottom, but this consolidation is not due to excessive participation or enthusiasm, rather because investor confidence has paused. Everyone is waiting for the next clear catalyst to reignite broader market participation and momentum.
