Bitcoin's Fear & Greed Index today dropped to 21, indicating that market sentiment is still somewhat suppressed. More notably, the spot market ETF has experienced net outflows for three consecutive days—this is usually a sign of a shift in institutional investor attitude.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin's daily chart has slid back below the middle band of the Bollinger Bands, with the bullish momentum clearly weakening. Meanwhile, the stock market has been oscillating at high levels for nearly three months, with an ambiguous trend and no clear direction. This has become a critical period testing retail investors' psychology.

Without clear technical signals, avoid impulsive actions. Preserving capital is the top priority. Blind trading often results in greater losses than doing nothing.

Institutions are running, retail investors are still hesitating, this is the current situation. ETF continues to outflow, stay calm and keep your composure. Bollinger Bands have broken again, we really need to wait for a signal this time. First, stay alive; making money is a later concern. Staying put is a hundred times better than reckless trading.

honestly the "don't trade when you're confused" bit hits different when you're down 40% lol... but yeah fair point. fear index at 21 is basically institutions quietly ghosting us, classic move.

Institutions are moving; this wave definitely requires calmness. I actually think this is a good opportunity to observe on-chain behavior—who is bottom-fishing, who is panic selling, the data will tell the story.

Institutions are moving; this wave is really about shaking the retail investors' hands.

Institutions are running, why should we still dare to move --- Another day urging us to hold back --- Below the middle band of the Bollinger Bands... in plain English, it just means there's no bottom yet --- Fear and greed index at 21, this wave is indeed a bit suppressive --- Let's wait and see, anyway, the chaotic operations only cost us --- ETF has been outflowing for three days in a row, this signal is a bit alarming --- If there's no signal, don't mess around, really --- The retail investor psychological test time has started again hahaha
