BlackRock single-handedly sold $83.8M worth of ETH. This move is not an isolated case — yesterday, the entire ETF market saw outflows of $93.8M. For a moment, retail panic was widespread, but if you look at the candlestick chart, you'll understand: this is a standard shakeout for leveraged longs. Smart institutional funds are rotating, clearing the way for the next rally.

The technicals are indeed a bit weak, but panic selling often breeds opportunities. When market sentiment is extremely pessimistic, it’s actually the best window for major players to build positions. From a historical cycle perspective, large institutional exits usually signal a bottom confirmation.

Anyway, I don’t plan to sell. How about you?

Just a shakeout, I've seen this routine too many times. The key is who can hold out until that moment. Trying to trick me into buying the dip again? How are those who said that last time doing now? Damn institutions love this trick; retail investors are always the last to catch the bag. It's okay if I don't sell, my account is already so green it's almost black haha. Institutional clearing? I think they're just clearing out our retail investors. Is that true? This theory of the historical cycle has never been applicable to retail investors. Let's wait and see; it might drop a few more times before the bottom is confirmed.

Blackstone is offloading assets, retail is panicking again haha, this script is always the same It's just institutional shakeouts, the bottom signals have already appeared, I'm just going to keep holding If you chase and sell high again this time... there's really nothing I can do

Just shake out the weak hands, I don't have money to buy the dip anyway, so I'll just watch.

Blackstone's recent moves look comfortable to me, retail investors are starting to scream again haha Institutions are shaking out the market while we are bottom fishing, keep it simple and don't overthink Why do some people always fail to understand this routine I, anyway, have increased my position, betting on this rebound Exit? Not happening, my friend Panic is exactly the time to get in The historical cycle is right there, and institutions are confirming the bottom with this move Technical weaknesses mean nothing, the story ahead will be even more exciting If it doesn't break out, hold tight until the next rally I've seen through this pattern long ago, the more they shake, the more excited I get

Blackstone's recent dumping, I see it very clearly, it's just a standard washout routine. I'm also optimistic about this point; the bottom signal has already been confirmed. Wait, is this really institutional rotation? Feels a bit far-fetched. Hold on to it, and it'll be fine. Panic selling is just the cries of the retail investors. Bottom confirmed? Why do I feel like this phrase is everywhere? This whole thing about historical cycles, I've heard it a hundred times. Can it be the same this time? I will never sell, just watch who manages to bottom out first. How many of these panic sales are truly at the bottom... hard to say. Institutional rotation, retail absorption, old tricks, brother. Keep lying flat; as long as your mindset can withstand it, you'll win.
