Bitcoin’s price remains locked in a narrow range, fueling speculation that market forces may be artificially suppressing movement.

Despite billions flowing into institutional investments, the cryptocurrency has struggled to break past key levels for over two months.

Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, believes this pattern looks unnatural. Speaking at Consensus Hong Kong 2025, he suggested that Bitcoin’s repeated peaks followed by stagnant trading could indicate deliberate price suppression.

While some see it as consolidation, Mow argues that such tight fluctuations don’t align with organic market behavior.

While major players like MicroStrategy and spot Bitcoin ETFs continue accumulating BTC at a rate exceeding daily mining production, Bitcoin’s price remains surprisingly stable.

Mow points out that if institutions and retail investors are consistently buying, someone must be selling at an equal pace to counteract the upward pressure.
