It is a metric that analysts monitor closely. Google search volume is often considered the thermometer of market sentiment<\/strong> for the general public. After a period of flat calm, interest in the king of cryptocurrencies<\/strong> is recording a vertical rise, coinciding perfectly with recent price volatility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Historically, such an explosion in queries often precedes massive price movements. When the general public starts typing “Bitcoin<\/a>” into their search bars, it usually means that FOMO<\/strong> (Fear Of Missing Out) is starting to set in. Unlike institutional players who accumulate in silence via OTC desks or ETFs<\/strong>, the Smart Money, retail investors react to media noise and brutal price variations<\/strong>, whether it be a severe correction or an imminent breakout.<\/p>\n\n\n For Andr\u00e9 Dragosch, Head of Research at Bitwise in Europe, there is no room for doubt: “Retail is coming back.” This statement comes as the market was desperately seeking a growth driver following institutional accumulation. While whales<\/a><\/strong> have supported the price until now<\/strong>, the influx of retail capital is often the fuel needed to chase a new ATH<\/strong> (All-Time High).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This return of retail liquidity could change the order book dynamics. Until now, the market was dominated by technical movements and institutional flows. The arrival of new entrants, attracted by recent BTC swings, could increase buying pressure and absorb the supply available on exchanges, potentially creating a supply shock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
