From the CVD indicator, recent BTC buying pressure has been quite fierce—it's all giant whales manipulating the market. Between price rises and falls, the shadow of large funds is everywhere.

But there's an interesting phenomenon: retail investors seem to have calmed down. Trading activity has noticeably decreased, and the market is now almost dominated by big players. The voices of ordinary investors are getting quieter.

This is quite intriguing. Where have the retail investors gone? Is it really just a matter of taking losses and never coming back? Or are they just accumulating strength and waiting? When the giant whales are dancing, small retail investors seem to be watching from the sidelines. This imbalance actually gives us some room for reflection.

Whales are疯狂吸筹, retail investors are disappearing collectively. Isn't this just a break after a round of profit-taking? --- Retail investors have long since fled. Now it's up to the whales to play their game. We'll wait for the slaughter to end. --- This wave of market action is truly incomprehensible. Big players are dancing while we watch the show. It's hilarious. --- Is it unfair? This is what the market is called. If you have money, you're the boss; if not, just watch. --- Retail investors who have cleared their positions are probably trembling in the corner, waiting for the whales to be full before coming back to scoop up the leftovers. --- What does CVD show? It just means the poor have no money to play with, and the rich are just playing a game of cutting the rich. --- Waiting and gathering strength, right? I think retail investors are just waiting for the next round of being cut. --- When will the days of watching from outside the market come to an end... I'm really speechless.

Whales are having fun, retail investors are hiding away. I've seen this script too many times. --- Honestly, when big funds start dancing, we should just stay out of it. Accumulation is the key. --- Retail investors who cut losses and run will never come back, but new rookies keep pouring in. This is the cycle. --- Is it so obvious that CVD is happening? Wake up, everyone. --- Watching from outside the market can sometimes be more profitable than getting beaten inside. Trust me. --- When whales dominate the market, we need to stay calm even more. Don't let emotions take over. --- Wait, is this what they call the accumulation phase? I've heard of it but never seen it with my own eyes. --- It's not a bad thing for retail investors to stay quiet. At least it avoids getting cut.

Retail investors have already left, now it's just the big players taking turns to cut the leeks.

Retail investors are really getting slaughtered. Now it's just the big whales playing their own game.

Retail investors have calmed down? No, that's not right, we're still here, just out of money haha --- Giant whales dancing, small investors watching the show, this script is so cliché, wait for them to dump and then we’ll rush in --- Once you cut losses, you really can't come back. This time I learned to be smart and watch from the sidelines --- CVD has been seen through by the giant whales, our chips are just a drop in the bucket --- Watching from outside the market is actually quite comfortable, at least not losing money --- What can big players do to control the market? Just follow and eat the soup --- Where have all the retail investors gone? Probably licking their wounds in some corner --- What to do about this imbalance? We can only wait for the breaking point --- The voices of small investors are indeed gone, but the tears in our accounts are still there --- Giant whales manipulate the market while retail investors watch the show, and this is how the market is
