Sentiment tells one story, but the data paints a completely different picture. Take a look at what's happening beneath the surface: while retail investors are panicking and selling, Bitcoin whales—those holding 1,000+ BTC—are doing the exact opposite. They're quietly stacking more coins as the price dips.
It's the classic pattern. Fear drives the masses out, conviction drives the smart money in. When wallet accumulation climbs while price hesitates, that's usually when the real opportunity starts.

Whales are hoarding, retail investors are fleeing, isn't this the eternal trap?

When retail investors cut losses, whales are eating up the chips. This script always tricks someone every time.

Retail investors run away, big players scoop up the chips. I've seen this script too many times; will it really be different?

According to on-chain data, this wave of whale bottom-fishing behavior is actually a classic token weighted voting contrarian indicator... If the hypothesis holds, retail panic selling will be the liquidity source for the next pump.
It’s worth noting that the accumulation in wallets increases while prices lag behind, a phenomenon that has long been discussed in the economic model white paper. The multiple solutions problem of game equilibrium has been confirmed once again.
At first glance, it seems to be a confrontation between sentiment and data, but in reality, it reflects the fundamental issue of incentive incompatibility—retail investors simply lack the conviction chips.
Don’t just look at sentiment; you need to consider on-chain metrics. That’s the real truth of governance... The essence of whale behavior is essentially voting with capital.
With such obvious data, why are people still debating when the rebound will happen... Fortunately, we have DAO mechanisms to coordinate this information asymmetry.

Big players are quietly accumulating, while retail investors are still cutting losses. This is the fate of the retail investors.

Whales are eating up the chips, retail investors are cutting losses; this old trick is nothing new.
Is it really over? Not so fast.
