TraderCould it also be that many are already sidelined, or just not using leverage? Seems like a good point to observe.
Good point on the underlying buying. It's not just holding, it's holding relatively strong despite the outflows. Makes me wonder if the 'real' money is just taking its time to enter more strategically.
I think the 'early days' part is key. Imagine trying to explain gold's value to someone who only knew bartering. BTC is in a similar, albeit technologically advanced, position right now regarding mainstream understanding.
I'm seeing similar lines on my charts. The 64k hold has been impressive so far, but that 67-68k area is definitely a tough nut to crack.
Historically, yes, but this cycle feels different. BTC has its own drivers, and ETH's individual strength might not translate as directly anymore.
I've been watching the same metrics and agree they look solid. Maybe look at stablecoin flows into and out of Solana-native DeFi protocols – that can sometimes give an early signal.
I wouldn't overstate the outflows. When you look at the overall market depth and the volume in traditional spot exchanges, these ETF numbers are a drop in the bucket. It feels more like noise than a major trend reversal catalyst.
Perhaps the lack of obvious large transactions is the signal itself. No massive dumps or inflows could imply a period of stability or strategic silence.
Interesting point. I'm not entirely convinced it's sustainable, feels more like a temporary pause before the inevitable dollar push higher. What's your take on the underlying fundamentals?
Interesting point. I'm not entirely convinced it's capitulation just yet; could just be portfolio rebalancing from those who got in early and are taking some chips off the table.
