Atrophied interest in the market.

Recently, I posted a couple of posts on Binance, and I noticed a consistent trend, which I have been observing for the past year and a half — a lack of interest in the market from retail investors sideways.
Articles do not garner as many views and discussions as they did in 2024.

Two weeks ago, I saw a post online about the lack of interest in this market and on Twitter.
They were discussing that over the past year, the open interest in the market has fallen by more than 70%.
The crowd is actively removing everything related to crypto from recommendations.
And this indicates that the aversion to the market is at its highest levels.
More accurately, it’s not even aversion but indifference.
This is a much stronger emotion than aversion.
Is this good? It depends on how you look at it.

To what extent the market will be kept in this state is impossible to say.
But, based on logic, when retail participants have such an attitude towards the market, only in such a state can prices be moved anywhere without attracting much attention or interest.
If suddenly prices rise, the average market participant will find out about it last.
And they probably won’t believe that the price increase can be attributed to a real market reversal and the long-awaited alternative season (I’m writing this myself and catching myself thinking that I’m talking nonsense).

Indifference to price movements means a lack of competitors who can influence the price.
Therefore, again, based on logical reasoning, it can be assumed that in such a market state, diametrically opposite trend movements are possible.

What is written here should be perceived solely as a reflection for discussion:
What if?
Nothing more.
How things will be and what will happen, no one can say for sure.
I am only making assumptions based on human greed.
