Bitcoin and Ethereum trading volumes are whispering something louder than price action these days.

Here's the pattern: every significant market cycle from 2019 onwards shared one DNA – volume shifted first, sentiment caught up later. Never the reverse.

What's brewing now? The 7-day moving average flows are painting a familiar picture.

Bitcoin's liquidity remains the heavyweight. That depth isn't accidental – it's institutional footprints getting heavier while retail still debates entry points.

Smart money doesn't wait for headlines. They watch order books.

I believe in volume leading the way. Every time, it's the institutions that make the first move while retail investors are still looking at the candlestick charts.

Tsk, it's that "smart money watches the order book" talk again... Why can't I ever get into their heads?

The relationship between volume and price is starting to tell a story again. Could it be that institutions are quietly buying the dip this time...

Damn, it's the same old story again. The big players have already gotten in while we're still hesitating about whether to buy or not.

Volume moves first, price follows later—I've already mastered this logic. Institutions are already aggressively buying up, while retail investors are still arguing in group chats.

I think this viewpoint is a bit too late, smart money has already entered the market.

The narrative of trading volume leading the way is back again, but are institutions really quietly buying the dip this time, or are they once again cashing out on retail investors?

Here we go again? The big players move first and emotions follow—I saw through this back in 2019, when I was still accumulating blue chips at low prices. Institutions quietly make a fortune while retail investors are still stressing over a few bucks' ups and downs. It's hilarious.

To be honest, by the time retail investors are reading the news, large institutions have already read the story from the order book.

Talking about "volume leads price" again? It's an old topic, but this time it really feels different... Institutions are quietly accumulating.
