The head of institutional strategy of a leading compliance platform recently shared an interesting observation on a podcast.
He said that the number of active Bitcoin wallets is about the same as it was three months ago. Although the open interest on a certain futures platform has decreased a bit, it doesn't align with the price trend. What does this mean? Market sentiment may not be as hot as it appears on the surface.
For those who entered at a high point this year, this guy's advice is quite simple — dollar-cost averaging is your most reliable ally. He has been investing for nearly 20 years and has seen too many cases of chasing highs and selling lows, leading to doubts about life.
In simple terms, don't expect to buy at the bottom and sell at the top; honestly build your position in batches. When you look at it over a longer time frame, it is highly likely to smooth out the anxiety caused by volatility. The market data is there; panic or greed is not as effective as discipline.

The fact that the number of active wallets hasn't changed means that retail investors have all been scared away.
Speaking of DCA, it sounds easy, but how many people can really stick with it?

It's the same old story of Auto-Invest again, but those who catch a falling knife all advise themselves like this.

It's another day of being advised to Auto-Invest. Well, I'll just listen to it and that's that, since I've already been trapped at a high position, haha.

Active wallets haven't changed but the price is jumping? This is the real signal, Large Investors are all watching.
Auto-Invest sounds easy to say but hard to do; very few can truly stick to it. I've seen too many people shout about Auto-Invest only to end up chasing the price and selling with bearish market.
People with 20 years of experience speak differently; discipline is indeed worth much more than predictions.
Those who caught a falling knife at high positions must be regretting it now, but on the flip side, this is also a good opportunity to train one's mindset.
The data is here and no one can change it; we still have to believe in time.

The wallet data is there, and the emotions are far from being that high. Auto-Invest is truly the only remedy, I have come to believe.

It's the same old Auto-Invest trap. I think the wallet data might not be as optimistic as it seems.
Auto-Invest sounds nice, but in reality, it's just a psychological comfort.

The number of active wallets hasn't changed, and the futures open interest doesn't match up either. This data is indeed a bit cold... Auto-Invest is truly a savior for lazy people.

The number of active wallets hasn't changed, but the price has jumped, which is indeed a bit strange.
Auto-Invest sounds clichéd, but there's really no other way; the dream of buying the dip should wake up.

It's the same old Auto-Invest routine, I've heard it countless times, but the key is that there are not many who can stick with it.
