The current BTC trend is not just a simple correction, but a deep reshuffle orchestrated by institutional players behind the scenes. You may have noticed that ETF fund flows have recently been net outflows, and technical indicators are showing some clouds on the horizon, but the story hidden deep in the data is even more interesting—those big whales and institutional investors are quietly accumulating with unprecedented strength over many years. This tactic has long been recognized by market veterans: it’s laying the groundwork for the next big wave.



Last month, the accumulation by large holders reached its highest level in years, and this is no coincidence. Additionally, South Korea plans to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF in 2026, a signal that everyone understands well— the institutional adoption wave will only intensify. In the long term, the potential of BTC as a global settlement asset has not been fully tapped, and the current volatility is nothing to worry about.

To put it simply, this consolidation phase is solidifying the bottom, so patience is required. Be cautious before this round of shakeout before dawn; don’t be scared out of the market. Maintaining your strategic position is the right approach.

**Technical Data Reference:**
The current price is at 90554.6 USDT. The key support level is at 89588.1, which is close enough to consider bottom fishing. The support range spans from 89242.0 to 90800.6. Resistance is at 91425.1, with the resistance zone spanning from 90708.0 to 91999.0.

**How to operate:** If the price approaches the support level, you can try placing buy orders, but set a stop-loss. Once the support is broken, you must cut losses decisively. This is the balance between risk and opportunity.

Just shake out the weak hands, I have plenty of holdings anyway, so rest assured and go to sleep.

Whales are accumulating, while we are restless, it's that simple. Institutions are really ruthless this time, but retail investors will never get the rhythm right. Let the shakeout happen, anyway I don't have much money. I'm optimistic about the 89,588 level; long-term holders should be smiling now. It's another positive sign from Korean ETFs and solid bottom support—just listen. Not confident? Then you're just giving money to the institutions. If you didn't buy the dip above 80,000, then forget it; chasing the high now is ridiculous. Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but few can really do it.

It's the same old story again—whales accumulating, institutions reshuffling, the calm before the storm... I'm already getting calluses on my ears from hearing it. I remain optimistic, but I'll wait until it drops to 89,600 before taking action.

Here we go again with this set? Every time it's about shaking out, and then it breaks through support and just hands out losses. Whale building positions? I think it's just cutting leeks, brother. At 89588, I bet five cents it breaks. Institutions are all buying? Then I better sell more; contrarian operation is the way to go. Korean ETF 2026? It's already 2025 and still just drawing pie in the sky. Stop with the stories before dawn every day. Just tell me when it's actually bad. This is the so-called "solidifying the bottom." My bottom has already been broken through. Support, support, support—what's the use of support? Just break it if you want. Looking at this data, I just want to laugh; the technical side has been messed up by institutions long ago. Hold steady? When it's time to lose money, actions are all too quick.

Here comes the story of institutional accumulation again; I've heard this explanation many times before. Whale accumulation hitting new highs? I’m watching the net outflow data—when will it start to lie? Can the support level at 89588 really hold? I don’t want to be shaken out. The Korea 2026 ETF can also be used as a reason today? Such a good self-justification. The phrase "shakeout before dawn" can be used every round; I just want to see if this time is real or not. The market hasn't arrived yet, and I’m already taking a brutal beating. Is this what they call "strategic layout"? I’m stunned. Position 90554 feels fake; ready to break at any moment.

Is it another round of shakeout theory? Every time you say institutions are accumulating, but I still can't see their money. Korea's 2026 ETF? Feels like I hear that every month. Can this support at 89588 really hold? I bet five bucks it will break again. This narrative sounds so familiar. The last time I heard this, I lost everything. The idea that institutions are building positions has been heard so many times in every bear market. If they were truly accumulating, why does the price keep going down? But I do have a long-term positive outlook. In the short term, really don't believe these stories.

I believe in whales building positions, but it's still too early to say we're at the bottom. --- It's the same narrative of institutions shaking out traders; I've heard it so many times, haha. --- As long as 89588 can hold as support, it's meaningful; anything else is just empty talk now. --- Long-term optimism is correct, but I'm just worried my account won't wait for that day. --- So what if Korea's ETF is coming? A decline now is the real deal. --- Real veterans have already exited; those still telling stories... you know. --- Trying a long order? I think it's better to wait and see; too hasty. --- Are institutions stockpiling? Then why is my account cutting losses, haha. --- This shakeout is pretty intense; anyone not cutting losses has to lie flat. --- 90554 looks tempting at this level, but I feel it might break again.
