Looking at early 2026 positioning across different investor tiers on USELESS, the divergence is pretty stark. Large players and mid-tier accumulators are stacking positions while smaller retail is getting shaken out. Classic market structure at play here.
What's interesting is the technical setup underneath—we're seeing quiet accumulation during low volume periods, which historically precedes bigger moves. When volume finally kicks in, that's typically when directional conviction becomes real. The data tells you something the social media noise doesn't: serious capital isn't sweating the daily sentiment swings on crypto Twitter. They're watching the order flow, the on-chain metrics, the accumulation patterns.
This kind of divergence between whale activity and retail positioning usually signals opportunity for those reading the tape properly. USELESS might lack the mainstream narrative appeal, but that's often where the smart money spots inefficiency.

Big players are quietly accumulating, retail investors are collapsing. We still need to see if we can hold until the moment of volume increase.

Tsk, it's the same old story of "whales quietly accumulating while retail investors remain bearish." After raising three kids for so many years, I've seen how many project teams use this story to fleece retail investors...
But honestly, during periods of low liquidity, quietly accumulating tokens does require attention. The key is to analyze the contract code and observe actual fund flows, rather than just listening to community hype. The name USELESS sounds a bit harsh; are the project team members mocking themselves?

Whales are quietly hoarding, while retail investors are still screaming on Twitter.

Big players are quietly accumulating, while retail investors are still struggling with emotional issues... This is why most people will never make money.

Big players are quietly accumulating, while retail investors are still debating the rise and fall. This is the gap.
