BTC's recent market trend is indeed a bit hard to judge. It just surged to $96,000, and I thought the rally would continue, but the 24-hour increase dropped directly to 0.07%—a bit of a disappointing end. The upward momentum from earlier seems to have suddenly disappeared.

Interestingly, from a capital perspective, ETFs are still continuously absorbing inflows, and institutional buying hasn't stopped, indicating that large funds remain optimistic about the future market. However, the market performance has been so lackluster, and this contradiction is quite intriguing.

So now the question is: what do you think about this situation? Is it a normal short-term adjustment to accumulate energy for the next rally? Or is it really starting to pull back, requiring profit-taking to avoid risks? Should those holding positions stay firm or start to exit some? This decision is quite confusing for many people right now.

Institutions are accumulating, retail investors are struggling, this is the current situation... Not breaking through 96k directly, it's really a bit frustrating.

Institutions are eating up the chips while we are anxious. This wave is just a shakeout, why panic? --- 96k was knocked back, it's a bit embarrassing haha --- What does continuous ETF inflow indicate? It means the big players are quietly accumulating, we need to be patient --- Head of a tiger, tail of a snake? Instead of stressing, it's better to wait. That's how history has played out --- When funds and the market are at odds, it's the easiest time to get cut. Sell half first and take a long nap --- Reaching 96 indicates someone is pushing. After a correction, it will push again. It’s the same anytime --- I just want to know where we are smarter than the institutions. They didn't stop, but we got anxious --- Short-term adjustments or long-term corrections, nobody can say for sure. Just watch how ETF moves

Institutions are dragging down the accumulation phase on the chart, this move definitely has a bit of a tricky operation feel to it. Wait, 96k is no longer interesting? Feels like the hype earlier was a bit intense. Just hold steady, the big funds haven't left yet, why are small investors so anxious? This rhythm... feels a bit like a shakeout, let's watch and see. I think it's better to hold on a bit longer, anyway, the short-term outlook is hard to see through.

Institutions are accumulating on the chart but underperforming, isn't this just a shakeout? Don't be shaken out. Hold on, the next wave will definitely rise. This 0.07% increase is basically building momentum. As long as 96K isn't broken, it's not a big problem. ETFs are still coming in, which means the game isn't over yet. Why panic? I bet this is a normal correction, a 5% dip before a rally. A head and tail pattern is common; get used to it. Big funds aren't fools; they are accumulating your chips. Stay alert. Wait and see, it's too early to sell now; you'll lose out. The market may be weak, but the fundamentals are still there. Don't be fooled by emotions.
