#数字资产市场动态 The market has been incredibly cold lately, with the Fear and Greed Index stuck at 28 in the "Extreme Fear" zone, and pessimistic voices everywhere in the community. But a closer look beneath the surface reveals that big players are quietly accumulating during this silence. The panic among retail investors often signals that smart money is starting to move.

Why has BTC been so "sturdy" recently? It can't outperform gold and the US stock market, and the reason is simple: the Federal Reserve's liquidity hasn't been fully unleashed yet. Currently, the market is speculating on rate cuts, but what cryptocurrencies truly need is solid capital inflow. That said, this calm is precisely the accumulation period before a storm—legal recognition is improving (referencing Russia's case on asset classification after the theft of coins), macro cycles are being digested, and on-chain whales are increasing their hoards. These fundamentals are being solidified step by step.

Every squat is to jump higher. The current silence is just the process of digesting previous bubbles and shedding floating chips. While most people are still lingering in pessimism, foresighted funds have already begun positioning for the next opportunity. Instead of obsessing over minute-by-minute K-line fluctuations, it's better to understand the underlying logic and extend the time frame. Market gains will ultimately flow to those who remain rational and patient amid panic. $ETH $BNB $DOGE

VIX at 28? I actually think this is the real moment to get on board. Those retail investors shouting "wait a bit longer" every day will only be left with dust when it takes off. The signal is very clear—big players are accumulating, which means what? It indicates that smart money has already started to move. I'm currently at 30% position; once liquidity truly arrives, the returns from this wave are going to be astonishing. BTC is currently "brutal," but doesn't that just indicate a consolidation period? The rate cut expectations are just the appetizer; the main course has yet to come. Those who are patient will ultimately make money, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The saying that big players are accumulating has worn me out. Every time it dips, they say someone is buying, but in the end, it just keeps falling? Anyway, I’ve given up and cleared my positions long ago. --- Jumping squats high, I once believed in this chicken soup, but I’m still trapped now haha. --- Wait, can you elaborate on the legal confirmation aspect? How exactly was the case in Russia judged, and does it have any impact on us? --- It sounds good, but we still need to see the Fed’s actions. What’s the use of just expectations now? If funds don’t come in, it’s just paper wealth. --- I think this wave is different. The macro environment is indeed changing, and on-chain data is accumulating. It feels like there’s more substance than the last bear market. With a 30% position, I’m holding on and expect to see next year. --- Another round of the "smart money" narrative. So when will retail investors be considered smart money? Laughing to death. --- BTC is really tough, but looking at the long-term monthly chart, it’s still stable. Why are so many people getting impatient? The timeframe really matters.

Sounds quite reasonable, but honestly I'm still on the sidelines and haven't dared to go all in. The main issue is that liquidity hasn't fully come into place yet. What's the use of just calling for interest rate cuts? Where's the real cash? However, I do feel that big players are accumulating, and on-chain data looks quite aggressive. I'll hold some cash for now and wait for a real signal before taking action.

Well... that's quite idealistic, but I'm really starting to doubt whether those "smart money" are actually accumulating, or if they're just like us, repeatedly getting rubbed the wrong way while bottom-fishing.

Squatting as a metaphor is a bit extreme, but honestly, this position really tests human nature. I think instead of waiting for a storm, it's better to first see where your psychological defenses are. Many say that smart money is accumulating, but who can really be sure whether it's accumulation or just a top escape? Anyway, I wouldn't dare add a single cent. How long has the liquidity release been hyped? It feels more虚虚 than the rate cut expectations. But I do have a bit of a desire to ride a wave. The underlying logic is very clear: it's just that there's no money, brother. Currently holding a wait-and-see stance, and I regret not clearing out during the 27 wave; otherwise, I would feel a bit more comfortable now. Waiting for a storm that never comes is just starting to rain. The market is always beyond your imagination.

Squats are getting a bit tired as an explanation, but indeed, those who dared to add positions during the 28 panic index are probably laughing happily now. I just want to ask, is this whale accumulation really that fierce, or is it just another prelude to cutting leeks? --- The Federal Reserve's liquidity hasn't been released yet, what about the promised rate cut expectations? Could it be another trick to lure retail investors in? --- Alright, alright, I believe your underlying logic, but I just don't believe my account can grow, haha. --- Really, thirty percent of the positions are just waiting to die here, just waiting for the whales to really start performing. --- This is the easiest time to get trapped; I'd rather miss out than get scammed in. Who knows. --- Wow, I've heard the phrase "accumulation period before the storm" so many times. When it really comes, haha. --- The increase in legal confirmation is interesting, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with whether BTC's price goes up or down. --- I just want to know if those big players are truly accumulating now or just pretending to, on-chain data should be able to tell.
