Recent market movements have revealed the psychological differences between the two major camps. During an uptrend, retail investors follow the trend and buy in, while large investors take the opportunity to exit; but when prices pull back, the situation completely reverses—panicked retail investors start selling, while those with big funds quietly absorb chips.
From on-chain data, during this pullback, the inflow to large wallet addresses has significantly increased. This is no coincidence. Smart money understands the market rhythm well; they know when to exit and when to enter. The current situation indicates that the market has quietly shifted into an accumulation phase.
This is why it’s said: pay attention to the movements of big players at critical moments. When whales start to act, it often signals the brewing of a new trend. Retail investors look at candlestick charts, but the real opportunities are often hidden in data that goes unnoticed.

It's the same old trick again. Our group of retail investors are just the ones who end up holding the bag.
On-chain data sounds impressive, but who really knows what the big players are thinking?
Wait, is this really different this time? Or is it the same old story?
Honestly, I only look at candlestick charts. No matter how deep the data is, I can't understand it.
When a whale starts accumulating, I just run. That's all the wisdom I have.

Here we go again, retail investors get wiped out, whales are accumulating, old tricks
The movements of big players are indeed worth paying attention to, but this kind of explanation sounds too cliché
Can on-chain data really reveal the truth? Or is it just another wave of hindsight theory
Why does it feel like every time it's all after the fact, can we really catch the moment in real time
Confident in this accumulation phase, betting on the whale's direction
Retail investors should look at candlestick charts? Then what do we rely on to make money
The key is having enough capital to play with the big players; small investors are destined to be left behind

It's the same old story, retail investors always get cut deep. I think the on-chain data is just for show.

It's the same story again, retail investors getting wiped out countless times... but what you're saying is indeed happening. Looking at on-chain data, it really hurts.
Big whales eat the meat, retail investors drink the soup—that's the reality.
I just want to know how to keep up with the rhythm of the whales. Can anyone teach me?
Once again, I got caught in a trap. It seems I'm still too inexperienced.
The critical moments are often the moments I panic the most...
Wait, is this really the accumulation phase? It feels like it still has to fall further.
