I came across a data analysis that was quite interesting. Since mid-December, large holders with 10-10,000 Bitcoins have been increasing their positions simultaneously, accumulating a total of 56,227 BTC. What does this signal usually indicate? The market might be bottoming out. But here’s an interesting counterpoint—the retail investors are starting to take profits gradually. Two forces are pulling in opposite directions: one is the ambitious positioning of big funds, and the other is retail investors’ risk aversion. Historically, this scenario of whales increasing their holdings while retail investors reduce theirs often marks a certain bottom zone in the market. However, there’s a question worth pondering: when everyone is talking about a "bottom," is it really the bottom? Or just a relay point in Bitcoin’s wave? At this stage, being cautiously optimistic might be wiser than blindly optimistic.

Big whales are rushing in, retail investors are cashing out and running away. This script is old, being cautious is never a bad idea.

Big players are疯狂吸筹, retail investors are跑路...I've seen this script too many times Is this the real bottom? Or just another prelude to cutting韭菜? Let's wait and see Don't be brainwashed by the words "bottom," stay alert Hmm, it's the same old rhetoric again, feels like I've heard it somewhere before... To put it simply, big players adding positions ≠ guaranteed profit, retail investors cutting positions can also be correct Where is the bottom? Just ask those brothers holding 56227 BTC and you'll know This move... feels a bit familiar, déjà vu

Large investors are疯狂加仓, retail investors are急忙跑路, I've seen this script too many times When everyone is喊"抄底", it's often the real danger But 56k BTC... definitely worth pondering Historical patterns? Ha, the history of the crypto world is just face-slapping Tired of the cautious optimism rhetoric, better to bet directly on your own judgment Big funds are布局, small investors are割肉, this差价 is their收益 Bottom底部, every time they say bottom, it still can继续跌 Two forces拉扯? Actually, it's a game of big fish吃小鱼 Relay point? Or是真底? Anyway, I dare not梭哈

Whales are accumulating, retail investors are fleeing. I've seen this show before, every time they say it's the bottom... --- Honestly, the increase of 56,000 BTC sounds impressive, but only a few whales are really playing with their heartbeat for profit. --- Retail investors fleeing is actually quite realistic; after all, we can't withstand the turbulence, but whales are different. --- The problem is no one really knows where the bottom is; it's all armchair strategizing after the fact. --- Cautiously optimistic is just another way of saying they don't really know what to do, huh. --- Every time, they talk about the bottom forming, but then it drops again—it's just a cycle. --- Large investors add to their positions, but when they sell, retail investors can't escape either... --- I think this opposition is even more interesting—who is really right? History will tell.

Large investors are疯狂 accumulating, retail investors are疯狂 fleeing... I've seen this script too many times Bottom? Ha, when everyone is convinced it's the bottom, it's no longer the bottom Over 56k BTC, how much confidence does that take to dare to do this? I just want to see where their stop-losses are Retail investors cut losses, big players eat the gains, eternal truth The so-called bottom signals are 95% bait, stay alert Relay points are more reliable, don't be brainwashed by the phrase "big players are布局" If this wave drops another 20%, see what those "bottom adding positions" say All I know is, cautious optimism requires you to have bullets available... Big players adding positions = high IQ? Or maybe just because they have more funds Historical patterns are meant to be broken, don't be too superstitious By the way, can the address with 56k BTC inflow be traced? I just want to see if it's an exchange's trick Feels like the bottom is as reliable as a girlfriend promising "I'll change"

Whales are quietly accumulating chips again, retail investors are rushing to exit. After watching this show so many times, why do I still fall for it? The big players are adding 56,227 BTC, sounds impressive, but the question is—when will the "bottom" truly arrive? Honestly, there are too many people calling the bottom now, which makes me a bit hesitant. If this is really the bottom, retail investors' losses will become the big players' gains, just like the usual script.

Large investors adding 56K indeed looks impressive data, but I am more concerned about the performance of hash rate revenue ratio during this cycle. Honestly, it's more instructive than just watching who is buying. Wait, retail investors taking profits and exiting safely, I want to laugh. History shows that this is often the best window for miners to expand production, as difficulty hasn't increased yet. The term "bottom" is too mesmerizing. Instead of guessing the bottom, it's better to watch the difficulty adjustment cycle. Based on current trends, it indeed looks like a deployment opportunity. Cautiously optimistic sounds good, but my mining machine data over the past two months also shows cautious improvement, for reference only. Truly smart people never care whether it's the bottom or the mid-cycle; the key is whether ROI can be achieved.
