Bitcoin spot flows hint at recovery, Glassnode says
Analysts and on-chain researchers are pointing to nascent recovery signals in the Bitcoin spot market after a period of volatility, according to data from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode and recent market reports.
After a period of sideways movement, more traders are stepping back in, according to the latest Bitcoin Weekly Market Pulse. Large investors are showing renewed interest despite ongoing economic uncertainty. Confidence isn’t widespread yet, but the market appears to be finding a more stable footing.
Glassnode data shows that fewer people are selling Bitcoin in the spot market
Glassnode data suggests a subtle shift in Bitcoin’s spot market dynamics: selling momentum appears to be easing, even as the overall rebound remains hesitant and uneven. Recent trading periods have shown slightly higher volumes, hinting that cautious market participants are gradually stepping back in.
This uptick is meaningful. Growing participation can signal a decline in anxiety, as investors move from idleness to re-engagement in the market. Even small movements like these indicate that sentiment may be slowly shifting away from pure caution.
Right now, trading activity is rising. Glassnode also shows that the gap between buying and selling has climbed past its usual high range. That kind of move often means buyers are stepping in stronger than sellers.
A jump like this suggests fewer people want to sell Bitcoin at today’s levels. With less urgency to exit positions, downward pressure fades. Price dips tend to hold up better once that selling pile shrinks.
Even with positive signs within the network, Glassnode says real buyer demand feels shaky, popping up briefly rather than growing strong and widespread. Lately, Bitcoin dropped from nearly $95,450 down to just above $92,000, proving small doubts can spark fast sell-offs. That dip lines up with the weak buying pattern seen across markets. What looked like strength faded once pressure showed.
Even as larger forces keep pushing traders toward caution, fresh shifts in US and European trade policies are weighing on confidence worldwide, making risky investments less appealing. As a result, according to Glassnode, Bitcoin remains stuck in a sideways pattern rather than breaking out into strong upward motion. Still, behind the scenes, signs such as weaker selling impulses and growing user activity hint that steadier ground may be forming quietly beneath the surface.
Big investors and network data show the market is slowly recovering
After a period of heavy selling and eroding confidence, Bitcoin is showing early signs of recovery, fueled by institutional activity and on-chain metrics. A notable example is US spot Bitcoin ETFs, where weeks of outflows have shifted to significant inflows, according to Glassnode.
The importance lies in who’s returning. Major players are re-engaging rather than retreating. Because these investment vehicles usually reflect long-term strategies, renewed buying can stabilize the market. When substantial capital quietly returns, price swings tend to moderate over time.
Even now, buying and selling in spot Bitcoin ETFs has picked up, as totals climb with fresh money flowing back in. With more trades, it shows that big players are putting money to work while staying involved, usually stepping in when prices dip rather than jumping on quick surges. It turns out that long-term owners are holding tighter through gains, leaving fewer coins available when markets rise, making steep drops less likely as values rise.
Week by week, signs point to a quiet return of interest despite numbers still trailing previous highs. What stands out is how transfer amounts on Bitcoin’s network keep rising, hinting at gradual shifts of money rather than rushed departures. Block space demand is creeping up, too, as reflected in slightly higher transaction costs.
