So here's the real question everyone should be asking right now: who's actually stepping in as the marginal buyer?
When the market's moving, it's not about the crowd that's already in. It's about that next wave of capital—the ones pushing prices at the edge. Are we looking at retail finally waking up? Institutions quietly accumulating? Or maybe just leveraged traders riding momentum until it snaps?
Because honestly, understanding who's buying at the margin tells you way more about where we're headed than any chart pattern ever could.

To be honest, right now, whoever is making moves on the marginal buying side is bolder than looking at any Candlestick.

To be honest, I can't tell who's catching a falling knife... It feels like the large investors have already run away.

You're not wrong, but I'm more concerned about who is catching a falling knife this time... I have a feeling that institutions are secretly accumulating while retail investors are still in a daze.

To be honest, who is really catching a falling knife at this node is the key... If it's the leveraged players playing with fire, then caution is required.

The statement about boundary buyers is not wrong, but why do I feel like retail investors are just pushing each other up with the leverage guys right now... The real big institutions are probably still on the sidelines.

ngl right now looking at the market this is the only question that's really valuable... who the hell is really catching a falling knife, to put it nicely it's a marginal buyer, to put it harshly it's just the poor sucker taking the last baton.

Leverage can't hold out for too long; the real question is whether the institutions are present.

In simple terms, the key now is who is catching a falling knife at the margin. In these past few years, I've relied on understanding this logic to profit.
