Bitcoin Battleground: Whale Exodus vs Institutional Accumulation - Who Wins the $363M+ Showdown?
Massive whale dumping collides with relentless institutional buying - creating the ultimate Bitcoin standoff.
The Great Divergence
While $363M+ in whale sell-offs creates temporary pressure, institutional players see blood in the water. They're accumulating at levels that could trigger the next major rally.
Contrarian Opportunity
Every major whale exit becomes institutional fuel. The same hands that panic-sell become the ones FOMO-buying back higher - classic market psychology at work.
Meanwhile, traditional finance continues its slow dance with digital gold, proving once again that Wall Street always arrives fashionably late to the party.
Bullion ETFs glitter with record inflows
Interestingly, Gold and silver exchange-traded funds registered the highest ever inflows of ₹8,363 crore (₹2,190 crore) and ₹5,341 crore (₹1,760 crore), respectively, despite concern over the availability of physical bullion globally, according to the Association of Mutual Funds in India data on Friday.
Incidentally, Kotak MF has halted inflows into its Silver Fund of Funds in response to the significant market premium resulting from the scarcity of physical silver.
Venkat Chalasani, CEO, AMFI, said the availability of bullion is an issue globally, and each fund house is working on its strategy based on the internal scheme risk management.
The silver price in the spot market is being traded at $50.41 an ounce, while in the futures market, it is quoted at $47.95, which is a clear indication that there is a short supply of silver in the market, he said.
Flexi cap leads equity fund inflows
Among equity funds, flexi cap attracted the highest inflow of ₹7,029 crore, while mid- and small-caps received investments of ₹5,085 crore and ₹4,363 crore, respectively.
Hybrid funds inflows dipped to ₹9,398 crore (₹15,294 crore) with higher investment in multi-asset allocation and balanced hybrid funds at ₹4,982 crore and ₹2,014 crore.
SIPs hit fresh record
SIP inflows touched a new high at ₹29,361 crore against ₹28,265 crore in August, with the number of contributing accounts increasing to 9.25 crore (8.99 crore).
