Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】Recently, the mainstream cryptocurrencies have experienced some fluctuations, and market participants are re-evaluating risks. Bitcoin faced resistance around $81,300, a level considered a key support. From a macro perspective, the global liquidity situation directly impacts its upward potential. Based on historical liquidity benchmarks, a reasonable valuation range could reach $180,000.

Meanwhile, Ethereum has fallen by 4%, currently finding support around $2,800. Interestingly, on-chain activity has not diminished due to the price decline; instead, it has hit new all-time highs, indicating that the fundamentals remain resilient.

The flow of institutional funds is also worth noting. The XRP ETF recently recorded a net inflow of $19.99 million, with assets under management exceeding $1 billion, reflecting an increasing recognition of such assets by traditional capital. From a capital perspective, institutional interest is indeed heating up.

BTC-0.38%

ETH-0.33%

XRP-0.42%

Is 81300 another key support? Last time you mentioned key support, I was still there getting liquidated, haha. Wait, is there a net inflow of 18.99 million for the XRP ETF? Are institutions really starting to catch a falling knife, or is it just another illusion before another round of suckers being harvested... Ethereum chain activity hits a new high but the price falls 4%, that’s ridiculous; having good fundamentals is useless, my margin call account speaks louder. 1.8 million dollars valuation range? Just listen, it’s hard to buy foresight; I’m more concerned about when I can do Margin Replenishment for my account.

Can't break 81300? Is 180000 serious? Haha --- ETH fell 4% but on-chain activity reached a new high; this is the real fundamental. --- XRP's institutional inflow this wave is a bit fierce, with a management scale of one billion dollars. --- Liquidity is a complex issue, but let's see if it can hold above 81300. --- The fact that on-chain heat is reaching a new high is an interesting signal. --- Is institutional recognition increasing? Then we retail investors need to get on board quickly. --- With so many support levels, why is it still falling? The pressure is so great? --- Ether's decline is not large, but the on-chain activity reaching a new high is ridiculous. --- XRP ETF has broken records again, traditional capital is really about to get on board.

If 81,300 can't hold, then we'll have to look back. But the fact that institutions have been accumulating is still quite interesting.

Wait, $180,000? With such abundant liquidity, that seems a bit overly optimistic. --- The active innovation on the ETH chain reaching a new high is actually more suspicious... Still dropping so sharply, and people are still trading? --- The institutional entry into XRP is quite significant this time, managing billions, traditional capital is really starting to take it seriously. --- Whether the support at 81,300 can hold is key; if broken, it might give back half of the gains. --- Active chain activity hitting a new high but prices falling... Are retail investors transferring funds wildly to themselves? --- I'm a bit surprised by institutional entry into XRP; it feels like this cycle is just beginning to heat up. --- Pushing liquidity to $180,000 seems a bit speculative; let's see if it can hold above 81,300 first. --- Interestingly, Ethereum dropped 4% but its active chain activity hit a new high. What does this indicate? Someone is bottom-fishing? --- The fund flow for XRP is indeed changing; the increasing recognition from institutions needs to be monitored continuously. --- Bitcoin has been fluctuating at this level, it seems it will take some more time to continue its upward trend.

If 81,300 can't hold, things will really look bad later on... But institutions are bottom-fishing XRP, are retail investors still buying at high levels?

If 81,300 can't hold, it's really over. I was just overthinking the 180k figure. The chain activity has actually increased, indicating that someone is aggressively building positions at the bottom. This wave of ETF inflows into XRP shows that institutions are really betting, and the enthusiasm of retail investors is completely different. Ethereum's 4% drop hasn't scared people out yet, indicating that psychological expectations have already adjusted. Liquidity is the key; don't just focus on the price.

81300 this level really can't hold, feels like it's about to break at any moment Institutions are accumulating XRP, while retail investors are still trapped at high levels Ethereum's fundamentals are still okay, but the price is just too awkward 180k is too optimistic, where is the liquidity so good High on-chain activity indicates what, that no one is making money and everyone is still messing around

If 81,300 can't hold, then it's really panic time. That 180k dream is a bit too big... By the way, on-chain activities are still increasing, which indicates that some people are still lurking.

Talking about the record high in on-chain activity is pointless; it all depends on how genuine the institutions really are.
