Analyst: Bitcoin's next major breakout may hinge on retail participation returning

Bitcoin has stayed below $100,000 for four straight months after first clearing that level in 2024, a stretch the article describes as consistent with bear-market conditions. Crypto Tice argues retail activity has fallen sharply since BTC set an all-time high, with the biggest drop coming from transactions under $10,000. The analyst says upside may remain capped until retail share rises above 10% again, after peaking at 30% at the start of 2025.
