Recently, market activity has indeed cooled down quite a bit, with the Fear and Greed Index holding steady at the "Extreme Fear" zone of 28, and various discussion forums filled with pessimism. But if you only look at the surface, you might miss the key information—big players are quietly acting amidst this silence, silently shifting their chips. Retail investors' panic often becomes the turning point of the market.

Bitcoin has recently performed quite flat, appearing lukewarm compared to gold and US stocks. The fundamental reason is straightforward: although the market is speculating on rate cuts, what Bitcoin truly needs is a genuine influx of liquidity. The Federal Reserve's policy window has not yet fully opened, which is like the calm before the storm. However, from legal recognition (Russian judicial cases have confirmed the digital asset nature), macro cycles (analysts point out short-term suppression factors), to capital flows (whales continuously accumulating), the underlying foundation is being solidified layer by layer.

Every downward push is meant to gather strength. The current downturn is digesting previous bubbles and cleansing out less committed holders. When most people are caught in a pessimistic vortex, clear-headed capital has already begun to position itself. Instead of obsessing over minute-by-minute K-line charts, it’s better to understand the cycle rhythm. The market’s rewards will ultimately go to those who stay sober in fear, understand the underlying logic, and can patiently wait.
