Christmas is here, and while global assets are on the rise, the crypto market is showing some "uniqueness."
BTC has been going in circles over the past few months. As 2025 approaches its end, everyone is waiting for a "big" move—that is, a real breakout. Missing this opportunity might mean there's no second chance, and the end-of-year trend could determine whether many people's annual gains are preserved.
ETH's story is quite interesting. Institutions and large funds have been quietly accumulating, but retail investors remain consistently bearish. Such divergence is not uncommon in the market. Usually, what does it indicate? An asymmetry between capital flow and popularity often signals upcoming volatility.
SOL faces even more direct pressure. The price once approached the $120 support level, and the market started to worry about further declines. Interestingly, the project team seems to be continuously releasing positive news, but the price hasn't responded accordingly. This makes one wonder—are these truly positive signals or just a disguised way of offloading? The "truth" of the market is often hidden in these details.

Bro, it's that time again for retail investors to act as contrarian indicators
Institutions are taking the meat while we're drinking the broth, isn't this just my daily routine?
Positive news on SOL caused a dump, I bet five bucks this is the signal I need to get in
End-of-year surge, and at the beginning of the year, new rookies come in, isn't this cycle just perfect?
BTC break through? Bro, my principal is just chilling at the liquidation price

Institutions are secretly buying ETH, while retail investors are dumping. The price difference will eventually have to be made up, right?

Institutions are buying ETH while retail investors are selling. The price difference will have to be made up sooner or later.
The positive news for SOL isn't pushing the price up but down instead. Something doesn't feel right.
If BTC keeps circling around, this year will be over. It's time for a push.
With such strong funding for ETH, retail investors are still calling for a short. That's a classic contrarian indicator.
SOL's support is almost broken, yet the project team is still hyping positive news. I've seen this script before.
