Today, there was a noteworthy move before the market opened - a global asset management giant suddenly closed all positions on approximately 2,150 Bitcoins, which is about 185 million USD at the current price.
The timing is very delicate, just right before Federal Reserve Chair Powell begins to speak. Institutions of this level typically do not massively reduce positions at critical moments without reason; either they have received some advance news, or they are not very optimistic about policy expectations.
To be honest, this round of operations is indeed somewhat perplexing. The moves of traditional financial giants are often half a step ahead of retail investors. They are pulling out; should retail investors follow? Or is this just a routine risk hedge?
In the short term, market sentiment has begun to tighten. In the next few days, we may need to keep a close eye on the market to see if there are any other large players moving.

Hmm... this pace is a bit fast, I'm afraid of plummeting if I close all positions early.
Speaking of which, the operations of the giants seem to have a bit of information asymmetry, retail investors following the trend face significant risks.
With such a sudden large transaction, I'm curious to see if there will be any chain reactions in the next few days.
This is ridiculous, Powell hasn't even spoken yet and they're eager to run?
It feels like the market is brewing something, I need to keep a closer watch.
Those institutions must have sensed something early on, we can only passively follow, which is quite frustrating.
2150 pieces is not a small number, directly dumping 185 million, this really needs to be taken seriously.

2150 BTC evaporated overnight, this pace is a bit fast
Powell hasn't even opened his mouth and the Large Investors have run away, the information gap is truly terrifying
Should I follow or not... a bit confused
At times like this, the most feared thing is being played for suckers

Hmm... 2150 BTC, this pace is a bit fast.
Retail investors should follow the trend or wait and see; I think we need to wait for further reactions.
Is it true? Did you get the news in advance?
If large investors run, we run too; I've seen this trap too many times.
The key still lies in what Powell says, as that will determine who wins next.
No, this timing is too strange.
By the way, is this kind of institution usually this sensitive, or is there really insider information?
It's true that the short-term is tense, but panic selling is not a good idea.
Let's see if there are still people following the trend to flee tomorrow.
