Recently, a fascinating phenomenon has been observed — when Nasdaq falls, the crypto market crashes along with it; when it rises, the crypto market still shows no signs of improvement. This wave of market conditions is truly suffocating. Looking at trading volume makes it clear — with an average daily volume of only $1 billion, even maintaining popularity is difficult. What's more heartbreaking is that various institutions and major players seem to be taking the opportunity to escape, and many whales are quietly reducing their holdings. As for retail investors, there are really very few left. The so-called bull market might just be a false proposition for retail investors who are still holding on. Funds are flowing into institutions and early movers, while small and medium investors are either already out or being continuously cut. This is the true picture of the current crypto scene.

Oh my, this wave is truly incredible. The big players are fleeing, while retail investors are still foolishly waiting. Bull market? Haha --- A daily trading volume of 1 billion is enough to call it a market. This heat is not even as intense as a small coin a few years ago. --- Whether it's Nasdaq gains and losses or the crypto world, everyone is lying flat. It feels like it has long become a puppet on the US stock market’s strings. --- Don't believe those boastful claims. Right now is a feast for cutting leeks. The early movers eat the meat, we drink the soup, and still can't get any. --- Brothers who are still holding on are truly warriors. The institution has already won this game of chess. --- With such trading volume, do you still want a rebound? Dream on. The big players have already run away. --- So now entering the market is just taking over the bag, right? I think I understand this logic. --- In simple terms, it's leek futures. After the institutions finish cutting, they leave. Retail investors are hoping for a miracle every day.

Still breathing the Nasdaq exhaust, how ridiculous --- 1 billion trading volume? Isn't this just a toy market --- Retail investors are already dead, everyone else is waiting for airdrops --- Institutions are fleeing, and we're still here buying the dip, hilarious --- It feels like the crypto world has completely turned into a playground for cutting leeks --- Bull market? For someone like me, it's just a joke --- Everyone has already run away, who still believes in this wave of market --- The big players quietly reduce their positions while we're still buying, unbelievable --- Where did the money of small and medium investors go? It’s been drained --- This is exactly a feast for capital, and we're only fit to be the sidekicks

Oh man, this is literally my reality over the past few months—I'm losing so much I'm questioning my life choices. --- Honestly, retail investors should have faced reality long ago. Institutions eat the meat while we drink the broth and should be grateful. --- Daily volume of a billion? That scale is boring, no wonder everyone's leaving. --- Whenever Nasdaq moves, the crypto market follows suit. This is the fate of being trapped. --- What are the retail investors who are still holding thinking? I really don't know what they're waiting for. --- Institutions have already escaped, folks, while we're still sleepwalking here. --- 10 billion in trading volume—this activity doesn't deserve to be called a bull market. --- Whales are reducing positions while we're still catching the falling knife. How do we even play this game? --- There are genuinely fewer and fewer retail investors. All my friends have cut their losses and left. --- Watching all the big players quietly exit, you know this wave is over. --- After getting slaughtered till now, I finally understand that "bull market" is just a word used to deceive people.

Whenever Nasdaq drops, the crypto market crashes; when it rises, there's still no hope... This market is truly unbelievable, really. Institutions have already run away, and we're just the last retail investors being used as the final leek. With such low trading volume, how can anyone still boast about a bull market? Wake up, everyone. The big players are reducing their positions, and we're still holding on tightly. The rules of this game are clear as day. What's the point of holding on? The money has already been taken by the early movers. Honestly, it's the same old trick, just a different soup but the same medicine. Feels like I'm the last one holding the bag, haha.
