#数字资产动态追踪 2026 marks the beginning, with market enthusiasm showing no signs of waning—yet the hidden risks beneath the surface should not be overlooked.



📈 Today's rally is quite interesting
Bitcoin surged to $93,000, Ethereum stabilized above the $3,200 mark, AI, Meme, and NFT sectors took turns leading the charge, especially the AI sector which surged over 6%. Everything looks green, but what’s behind the eye-catching gains?

🔍 Looking deeper, the market is actually quite complex
On the surface, it appears glamorous, but there are many undercurrents—

First, the clash between sentiment and reality: the Fear and Greed Index rose to 38, still in the "fear" zone. But on-chain data shows a different story—long-term holders are not bottom-fishing but accumulating chips at current prices. Retail investors are hesitant, whales are steady.

Second, the market resilience is improving: after the October 2025 peak, $30 billion worth of derivative leverage was forcibly removed from the market. How thorough was this deleveraging? It means 2026 is not starting from a weak foundation.

Third, the ambiguity about the future: the options market reveals the truth—traders are optimistic about the first half of the year, but become cautious and hesitant in the second half, with a strong sense of prudence.

💎 Key issues
The start of 2026 is indeed positive, but the market seems more focused on rebuilding confidence and optimizing structure. Is this rally the beginning of a new trend, or just part of a range-bound fluctuation? A deeper question: will the upcoming market continue to be driven by emotions and leverage, fluctuating wildly, or will it be propelled by institutions towards a "steady but solid" evolution?

Whales are steadily accumulating chips at the current price level, while retail investors are still in fear. The gap is quite significant.

I believe whales are accumulating chips, and retail investors are always the last to know... The problem is that this cautiousness in the second half of the year came too early. Without any substantial positive news, how can it be reversed?

Retail investors are all shouting that 93,000 will be the top, but whales are quietly accumulating, and the difference is huge. The recent leverage liquidation is correct; the fake strength has indeed been squeezed out. The second half of the year is the real highlight. Why does it seem like options traders are starting to get timid? It looks like institutions also lack confidence.

ngl the deleveraging narrative is what actually matters here—those $30B getting flushed out in Oct weren't noise, that was infrastructure finally getting real. everyone's distracted by the green candles but the actual signal is institutional accumulation at these levels, not retail fomo. that's the adoption curve inflection point ppl keep missing.

While whales are accumulating chips, retail investors are still debating whether it has dropped or not. The gap is quite significant.
