On Christmas Eve, BlackRock executed a "turning the hand into clouds and covering the hand into rain" operation on-chain. First, they moved 2,292 BTC and 9,976 ETH, with a total value of $229 million, then quietly bought back some of them a few hours later. Does this look like a dump? Not really.

What this reflects is the meticulous management of liquidity by top-tier institutions in the crypto space. They are now able to freely allocate hundreds of millions of dollars on-chain, just like managing traditional stocks. BlackRock's total crypto position has long surpassed $77 billion — this is not a tentative holding, but a serious bet with real money.

Short-term volatility can indeed be frightening, but looking at historical cycles makes it clear. Bitcoin has never experienced two consecutive years of decline. Every dip — in 2014, 2018, 2022 — was to jump higher. The following years saw an average surge of 126%. If this year closes in the red, next year's target range could be between $125,000 and $200,000.

When institutions operate smoothly within compliant channels, and the cyclical laws of history favor the bulls, the real game is just beginning. Assets deeply rooted in the Ethereum ecosystem with phenomenal consensus often sense market shifts first. So don’t be fooled by daily fluctuations; bull markets have always quietly ignited amid skepticism.

BlackRock's move is brilliant—selling billions and then buying back. Are they really treating us like fools, or is this the art of liquidity management... The number 126% sounds impressive, but who endured that wave in 2022?

BlackRock's move here, to put it simply, is institutions rehearsing their future strategies. Retail investors can just watch and enjoy the show.

BlackRock's move is indeed impressive. The $229 million was just a snap decision to sell or buy, really treating the market like their own backyard. The key is that $77 billion position—this isn't just testing the waters, it's a gamble for their life. The historical cycle is right there; every dip allows for a higher jump. The pattern of not making it last year but doubling next year will probably repeat. With institutional entry channels now open and compliant, retail investors need to be more discerning if they want to follow—don't be fooled by single-day volatility. The space between 125,000 and 200,000 is quite tempting, but you have to survive until then. This wave definitely feels like a brewing bull market, but most people haven't realized it yet.

BlackRock's move is truly brilliant. $229 million was spent and sold in an instant, bought and sold at will, dazzling everyone. But upon closer reflection, this is just the daily routine of big institutions. With a $77 billion position, they can adjust at will, while retail investors can only watch with wide eyes. Honestly, the logic of the historical cycle really holds up. After every deep dip, there's a surge. If this time truly closes the阴, there's room for the market to rise from 125,000 to 200,000 next year... Just thinking about it makes my blood race. Institutional compliance entry and the historical cycle bullish theory—this situation is indeed different. BlackRock's play is masterful. Short-term scare tactics to retail investors, long-term passive gains from cyclical returns—that's the gameplay of top-tier institutions. Wait, could this move backfire and cause a reverse dump? It feels too orderly. But on the other hand, this year has truly been the year of institutions. If this had happened before, we wouldn't dare to imagine it. As spectators, we're just waiting to see how the market will perform next year.
