Bitcoin finally broke through the key resistance level of $95,000, ending the two-month consolidation pattern. Although Ethereum's gains are larger, its trend remains weak, oscillating around $3,400.

Looking at the data from block trades, it clearly explains the situation. The daily block trading volume for BTC is about $1.7 billion, accounting for over 40% of the total trading volume, making it the clear favorite for funds. In comparison, ETH's block trading volume is only about $130 million, roughly 20%. This gap is evident—the money is clearly pouring into the bullish side of Bitcoin.

But this is not the full picture. Futures trading volume and implied volatility of major maturities actually reveal some signals that the market is still brewing...

BTC3,58%

All this capital is piled into BTC, why is ETH still sleepwalking over there?

Large funds are favoring Bitcoin. Just look at these data, Ethereum has really been neglected.

Here comes the saying of cutting leeks again, are you happy now that BTC breaks 95k? Let's wait and see. ETH is really disappointing, the capital flow is already very clear. The gap in large transactions is so big, what tricks are institutions playing? Futures are still hiding things, in the end, retail investors are the ones who get caught off guard, right?

Breaking 95k in Bitcoin is not surprising; the key is that those institutional folks are really throwing money around. Why is ETH being neglected so badly?

Damn, BTC has really broken through. Why is ETH still sleeping there? --- All the funds have been poured into BTC. Has Ethereum been collectively abandoned? --- Looking at the block trade data, the gap is indeed outrageous... where is the money flowing? --- By the way, what exactly is being brewed on the futures side? I feel like the story isn't finished. --- BTC is taking off, but ETH is still in place. This trade is a big loss, brother. --- Is no one paying attention to Ethereum? Is Bitcoin really the only one that’s popular? --- Breaking 95k just like that? I thought it was going to break through the sky. --- Is the difference in block trade data so huge and outrageous? Does no one want ETH anymore? --- Wait, what is the implied volatility trying to say? Feels like it’s hesitating to speak. --- Pouring all the money into Bitcoin is actually quite cruel... How will other coins survive?

The big players have clearly gone all-in on BTC this time. ETH has been somewhat neglected and is looking a bit bleak. The 3400 level will probably be tested repeatedly again.

Large capital understands that BTC is the real traffic secret.

Once again, Bitcoin dominates the scene, and this time ETH has really been knocked out. Looking at the data gap in large-volume transactions, I understand—big funds now only recognize BTC, everything else is just a side show. Wait, what signals are being brewed in the futures market? The explanation was halfway through and then stopped—truly impressive. Honestly, I still think the gains of the mainstream coins aren't enough, and some potential new stars are quietly making moves. Don’t believe it? Check the on-chain data.
