Brothers, this is the resilience of a bull market.
A few days ago, the entire network was crying and complaining over a security incident involving a certain wallet. By last night, funds had already quietly entered the market to push prices up. Many people can't understand: with risks everywhere, how can prices still rise?
Because you're only focusing on emotions, while the main players are paying attention to liquidity and the structure of chips. Not convinced? Keep reading.
**First Hardcore Logic: The Reallocation Window at the Beginning of the Year**
This is the most solid support for this round of rebound.
The timing is set at yesterday—January 2nd, the first trading day of 2026 in the US stock market. America's pension funds, hedge funds, and various ETF custodians officially start their new fiscal year budget from this moment. Their large-scale sell-off at the end of December was essentially "tax loss harvesting" to reduce taxes for the year. But in January, with accounts reset, they must rebuild positions.
Look at the pre-market trading volume of a certain custodian and an institutional product last night—this isn't hesitation, it's using the panic among retail investors to smash the "golden pit" and aggressively grab chips.
**Second Logic: Panic Becomes a Buying Opportunity**
It sounds counterintuitive, but that's how the market works. When a risk event occurs, retail investors cut losses and flee, while institutions stay calm and buy in. The security incident does exist, but its impact on the entire ecosystem is temporary. On the contrary, this panic-induced price dip is exactly the opportunity institutions love to jump in.
Data doesn't lie. Institutions are acting, and the pace is accelerating.

Here we go again with the story of cutting leeks. This time the script is "Institutions Bottom-Fishing"? I don't believe you.
Institutions stay calm when retail investors panic? Then why are they still getting trapped every day?
But to be fair, there was indeed a capital window at the beginning of the year, that’s undeniable. It's just... when will we "emotion traders" get a share of that soup?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have read the news. Going all-in with my eyes closed is so much more refreshing.
Institutions make money, we gain experience—that's Web3.

Oh no, it's another day of institutions cutting leeks. We retail investors are just paving the way for them.
Really, I believe in the tax loss harvesting strategy, but why is it always us who suffer the most?
I've heard this logic too many times; next time will be the same old trick.
Institutional actions? Ha, data speaks, but our money also talks.
Wait, are you saying we can still buy the dip now? I’ve already been completely out of the market.
I’ve lost quite a bit last time I tried panic buying, brother.

nah fr the institutional rotation thesis is *technically* sound but you're missing the Nash equilibrium play here—retail panic selling into tax-loss harvesting demand is textbook market microstructure, ser

This move is indeed fierce. While retail investors are still panicking, institutions are already starting to build positions.

Retail investors scream as institutions jump in; I've seen this show many times before.
