Whale Activity: While retail sentiment is currently shaky, on-chain data shows whales are allocating more margin to long bets, signaling conviction that this is a "shake-out" before the next leg up. Institutional Floor: Spot ETF inflows have stabilized rather than reversed, suggesting that the "quiet accumulation" you noted is indeed the primary driver for long-term support. The "Leverage Flush": With over $850 million in long liquidations hitting the market recently, the system is much "lighter" and ready for a more sustainable move. The Verdict: 2026 is proving that crypto is no longer a vacuum. It’s reacting to global trade policy and Fed decisions (with the first FOMC meeting of the year just days away). Patience here is a competitive advantage.
