I've observed an interesting phenomenon these days. XRP's ETF products have experienced net capital inflows for over 20 consecutive days. Logically, the price should rise along with the inflow, but what actually happened? The price has been moving downward all along. Since 2.6, it hasn't stopped, and every rebound has been a new opportunity to cut losses.
To be honest, as a retail investor, I've been quite exhausted by this market fluctuation. I regret stopping out, but I also regret not stopping out. Watching the capital enter while the coin price moves in the opposite direction—are institutions quietly cashing out, or is the market digesting the previous gains? Is it large investors suppressing the price to accumulate, or are technical factors still needing repair?
The current issue is: what does the phenomenon of capital inflow coupled with falling prices truly reflect—bottom accumulation or top distribution? When will these conflicting signals finally align? Everyone holding positions is waiting for a clear answer.

This is probably institutions shaking out the market; retail investors have all been scared out.
Funds enter, but the price drops again... I've seen this trick too many times.
Betting on institutions or betting on technical analysis, I don't gamble with anyone anymore.
Sold again, really feeling hopeless.
Every rebound makes me want to buy the dip, but each time I'm brutally beaten in the opposite direction.
Waiting for a clear answer, but this market never had a clear one to begin with.
Funds flow in but the price still drops, indicating the big players are accumulating, and we're just along for the ride.

Oh no, isn't this the institution quietly taking our money?
Funds enter, and the price drops? Typical wash trading to scare retail investors into selling
I was also in that wave of 2.6, now my mentality has collapsed
Stop-loss, stop-loss, but as soon as I sell, it rises; if I don't sell, it keeps falling. I'm really convinced
The big players are definitely waiting below; our stop-loss orders from these retail investors are their buy orders
Don't believe in bottom accumulation; it's clearly top distribution. Capital inflow is just chips flowing out
Hang in there, everyone. Anyway, we're already trapped, so it is what it is

Capital inflow causes price to fall. No matter how many times this trick is played, some people still fall for it.
Institutions are quietly harvesting amidst these contradictions.
This wave of XRP, do you stick to the bearish view or try to bottom fish?
I cut at 2.6 during that wave; now it actually feels better.
Fund inflow ≠ price increase. This logic needs to be updated.
Honestly, I can't understand it at all; it's just gambling.
Bottom accumulation and top distribution? Neither. It's just harvesting retail investors.

Capital inflows create resistance at the coin price; I've seen this routine too many times, institutions are laying the foundation.
Stop-loss while watching the price rise, don't stop-loss while watching it fall—this is the fate of retail investors.
Whether XRP is accumulating or distributing in this wave will become clear once the technical analysis unfolds.
Below 2.6 is the real opportunity; we're still testing the waters.
This is why most people can't make money; it's normal for capital signals to be disconnected from the price.
Compared to XRP, I'm more concerned about when Bitcoin can stabilize.
Everyone is waiting for a bottom confirmation, but no one dares to be sure if this is the bottom now.
The most aggressive accumulation happens during the price suppression, which can wipe out retail investors and also allow cheap acquisitions.
Looking at the net inflow still decreasing indicates that the selling pressure is really strong.
Institutions are gradually absorbing retail panic chips; this is the game rule.

Institutions are deceiving people; the inflow of funds can be faked easily.
This is top-tier allocation; don't bother thinking about it.
In the wave of 2.6, I was also involved. Now I've learned to be smarter.
Funds enter, but the price drops again? It indicates big players are absorbing the supply, retail investors are all cut off.
Really, waiting for a clear answer might take forever.
The only solution is to cut losses; everything else is just a fantasy.
How about we team up and ask the institutions what they're thinking?
Honestly, the inflow of funds actually declined. I've seen this kind of situation too many times.
Is it bottom absorption or top-tier allocation? Anyway, it's not an opportunity for retail investors.
