The start of the year market did not disappoint. US spot ETFs recorded significant net inflows on the first and second trading days, indicating that traditional institutions have not missed this rebound. After a sharp correction earlier, what does the current price level mean for institutions? The value of allocation has re-emerged. Many institutions are re-evaluating their portfolio allocations, as after a major decline, the rebound window is usually not very long. The performance on the capital side confirms a judgment: market liquidity and sentiment are recovering in sync, which is a sign of a bottom-up start. From the movement of institutional funds, they are expressing their attitude towards the future market with real money—placing bets when prices are attractive.

I am optimistic about this wave of institutional investment; the price is indeed attractive, just worried that the rebound window is too short. Real gold and silver won't deceive; their bottom-fishing indicates the bottom hasn't escaped. The rebound after a sharp decline is indeed quick, gotta seize the opportunity to get on board. Liquidity recovery sentiment is also catching up, it feels like climbing out of a pit. I'm much more at ease with institutions布局ing; lying flat and waiting for the return of investment... The ETF net inflow is so strong, indicating that people still have confidence. The window isn't long? Then I need to speed up my decision-making; why am I always a step late? The price is so attractive that it still hasn't risen; are we really just gambling on what's to come? This wave of configuration value sounds so good, but unfortunately, my wallet has already cried. Institutions are all picking up bargains, so I'll just follow along and feel it too haha.

Institutions' recent actions are really significant. Large net inflows indicate they've had their eyes on this for a while. I totally agree that the bottom rebound window is short; we need to seize the opportunity. --- Wait, is this price really attractive? Or is it another wave of retail investors being harvested? --- Liquidity and sentiment are recovering in sync... sounds good, but hopefully it's not another false breakout. --- Does traditional institutional betting mean there's a real chance? I don't believe it; they can also miss out. --- The value of allocation is emerging, but the question is, can ordinary people keep up with the pace? --- Large net inflows are indeed a good sign; this time, it might really be different. --- The short rebound window—this is said every time, but what’s the result? --- A sign of starting from the bottom... officially called that, but really it's still a gamble. --- Institutions are betting with real money; what do our small holdings mean in comparison? --- Alright, now just waiting for the rebound, hoping not to get cut.

Institutions are really starting to buy the dip, and this rebound feels a bit different... Wait, is it just because the price is attractive that they’re betting? What about the attractiveness of the price for retail investors, haha? Basically, big players have made their move, while small investors are still hesitating whether to jump in or not. I'm tired of hearing the term "liquidity restoration"; the key is still how long the price can keep rising. The real gold and silver of institutions is the confidence in our pockets, haha.

Are institutions really bottom-fishing? Then why should I, as a retail investor, worry? Just follow their rhythm. --- I hope this rebound can really take off, but it always feels a bit虚... --- Wait, does liquidity restoration mean the bottom is in? Why do I still feel uneasy? --- The big players are smashing the market with real money, so we also need to find a way to keep up with the rhythm. --- Is jumping in now just accepting the transfer of the position? Who can say for sure? --- The rebound window is short... Hearing that is a bit annoying, and I’m running out of time again. --- Institutions are rebalancing their positions, in simple terms, buying low. We want to too, but we just don’t have the money. --- The start of the year has been good, but this is often when the most people get割韭菜. --- The sign of bottoming out? Let’s take it as a respectful信.

Institutions are pouring real money in, and this rebound has some substance. However, the short window for the rebound... we need to be cautious and not go all in. --- The net inflow into US ETFs over two days is so strong, it seems that big investors really find the price attractive. The question is, how long can it last? --- The sign of a bottoming out? Haha, let's wait and see how the trend develops later, and don't get carried away by emotions. --- Institutions are betting when the price is attractive; in simple terms, they are betting on a rebound. Capital movements are real, but that doesn't necessarily mean a bull market is coming. --- Liquidity recovery + sentiment recovery happening simultaneously... sounds good, but markets are the best at deceiving. We need to see if trading volume can support it. --- The key now is whether this rebound can break the previous high. Watching institutional entry alone isn't enough; we also need to see if retail investors will follow suit. --- The value of allocation is emerging, but I still think we should wait a bit longer. Historically, many "bottoming out signs" have turned out to be traps later on.

Institutions are bottom-fishing, while I'm buying at high levels. That's the difference between us... Wait, the MACD hasn't yet experienced a golden cross. Is this rebound truly a sign of a start or just another trap? I still feel like the head and shoulders pattern hasn't been completely broken yet. Attractiveness? Ha, by the time it was attractive last time, I was already numb from being trapped.

Institutions are really bottom-fishing, the inflow data is right there. The question is, how long can this rebound last, or is it just another fake rebound? --- What does large net inflow indicate? It shows that smart money has already entered the market, while retail investors are still debating whether to buy or not. --- Is the value of allocation emerging? Sounds good, but I just want to know where the bottom is. --- It feels like institutions are quite determined in this move, but they’ve done the same before... --- Putting real money on the line, I’m just waiting to see if they will run away later. --- Liquidity and sentiment are recovering in sync, sounds good, but I’ve heard this kind of rhetoric too many times before. --- The net inflow into US spot ETFs is indeed interesting, at least indicating that this isn’t a complete pump-and-dump market. --- Is this a sign that it’s starting from the bottom again? Say this every time, but it’s never right. --- If institutions dare to buy at this price level, I dare to follow... Wait, am I about to become the bagholder again? --- The rebound window won’t be too long, so I need to get on quickly? That logic is a bit extreme.

Institutions are really on a buying spree. This rebound feels different. They won't exit so quickly unless they are truly confident. The bottom signal has indeed appeared. Now, what’s missing is retail investors catching up and not getting left behind. The US ETF is experiencing large inflows so quickly. This is the real confidence indicator. Is the price attractive? To put it plainly, it’s cheap. The institutional brothers are really betting this time. With such a short rebound window, if you don’t get on now, when else? Liquidity recovery + sentiment restoration are happening simultaneously, truly like a bottom-up rally... Those still hesitating should seize the opportunity now. Institutions are placing bets, and we’re still just watching the market? What a gap, brother.
