Bitcoin's Wild Weekends Are Gone: How Wall Street Changed the Market

Remember when Bitcoin could surge 10% on a random Saturday with no obvious catalyst?
According to 10x Research founder Markus Thielen, those unpredictable weekend moves were common in 2015 and 2016 but have become increasingly rare.
Today, major Bitcoin price movements are more often driven by midweek macroeconomic catalysts. Meanwhile, institutional investors and Wall Street players have replaced many of the loud retail promoters from previous cycles, bringing a more consistent source of buying demand.
The shift reflects how Bitcoin's market structure and investor base have evolved over time.
