Once the wealthiest individuals start rotating their capital out of a particular market or asset class, institutional focus inevitably shifts downward through the wealth pyramid. The billionaires lead the exit, but their departure doesn't mean the money simply disappears—it triggers a cascade effect. The next tier, the centimillionaires and hundred-millionaires, suddenly become the new target for capital flows and market attention. This pattern continues recursively through each wealth bracket.
In crypto and traditional finance alike, this wealth tier migration is a fascinating dynamic. It reflects how markets are structured around liquidity chasing and narrative shifts. When top-tier players move, they essentially reprrice risk for everyone below them. What was considered a sure bet at the billionaire level gets reevaluated by the next cohort. Understanding this recursive pattern helps explain why market momentum doesn't just disappear—it redistributes.

Basically, it's a chain reaction caused by big whales running away. When one dumps, the whole market could die.

Basically, it's big players running away, and retail investors taking the fall.

When big players sell off, we have to buy the dip... This tactic is a bit exhausting.
