Institutional Capital Rotates from Bitcoin to Ether Following Inflation Sell-Off
On-chain data reveals significant Bitcoin sales by large holders used to finance large-scale purchases of Ether.
Major crypto assets experienced volatility following higher-than-expected United States inflation figures before finding footing on October 16. During the recent market pullback, on-chain tracking identified large wallets and institutional entities reallocating funds away from Bitcoin and into Ether.
According to tracking data from Lookonchain and Yuqing, large entities offloaded 1,601.1 BTC—representing roughly $132 million in USDC—over a five-day period to acquire 53,095 ETH at an average entry near $2,497. An additional transaction involved selling 288.9 BTC for $23.48 million in USDC to purchase 9,820 ETH.
The shift in capital occurred as Ether formed a double-bottom pattern on its four-hour chart and rebounded alongside a broader stabilization in Bitcoin's price.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
