Given 'institutional' investors who are more prone to hold through dips and ignore the paper loss; is it actually possible for BTC to drop to sub $5k ever again now?

There was a really good diagram showing how the composition of BTC holdings has changed over the years, and it shows a marked shift away from big portfolios into lots of smaller wallets; i.e retail investors.

I get that a few bigger whales might hold and support certain prices, but surely the collective holding of retail investors would be enough to move the dial substantially?

March 20 was the last time it was at around that level and it hasn't gone to that since.

What was fundamentally different about that period of time to what it is now that would stop us returning to that price point? I'd appreciate any reliable information sources to back up any comments?
It is widely known that what was different back then and it was the pandemic, while the pandemic began to make headlines during December if I remember correctly it did not began to affect the stock markets until the last days of February and it took some time for the panic to come this market but when it did the crash happened, this was a golden opportunity to buy bitcoin that under normal circumstances would not have presented itself and I hope that you took advantage of it.
