On-chain data has just sent a meaningful signal—large sell orders on a compliant platform, historically surpassing the trading volume of a leading exchange. This shift is enough to raise alarms.



At first glance, it appears to be a routine profit-taking move, but a closer look reveals clues: European and American institutions and large funds are withdrawing or reducing their positions through compliant channels. Their actions often indicate the true market trend.

What is hidden behind this? An ancient trading principle: volume precedes price. When those with the most information—long-term holders and institutional investors—start to cash out on a large scale, and the market's buying power clearly weakens, you should be cautious. This is usually not just a short-term adjustment signal but may also indicate a larger trend reversal.

In plain terms, the truly savvy money has already started to run.

So, what should we do?

First, review your holdings. Key support levels for mainstream coins like BTC and ETH must be closely monitored. If these levels break, you need a clear response plan. Don't be complacent—under deteriorating capital conditions, any negligence could be costly.

Second, reassess your asset allocation. In times of rising market uncertainty, the role of decentralized stablecoins like USDD deserves reconsideration. They may have evolved from a "backup option" into a defensive tool for your portfolio. During intense volatility, stablecoins can not only protect your principal but also provide ample ammunition for bottom-fishing.

Finally, stay observant and flexible. Changes in capital flow often precede price movements. If you can interpret clues from abnormal trading volume, you'll be able to adjust your strategy faster than most. In such markets, those who survive to see the next opportunity are often the winners.

The signal of big players fleeing cannot be ignored; we need to keep a close eye on the support levels of BTC and ETH.

The signs of big institutions running away are so obvious, and some people are still bottom-fishing? Wake up, everyone. --- Let the data speak. This wave is really intense. First, figure out the bottom line for BTC and ETH. --- Is large sell orders through compliant channels exceeding the exchanges? It's not that simple; it depends on whether there are still buyers to absorb the sell-off. --- I've never fully understood the relationship between volume and price. When will we be able to read the clues like the article suggests? --- The idea of using stablecoins as a defensive tool is okay; at least it can ensure you won't be swept away in one wave. --- If the truly knowledgeable people have already run, when can we retail investors catch up with the rhythm? --- Once the support level is broken, you need a plan. That's correct, but should we sell or hold now?

The smell of big institutions running away is getting stronger, and this time it's really different.

Such obvious signals of big institutions running away, and some people are still sleepwalking. The real danger is that those who took over have all been wiped out.

Scary, are institutions really running away? Then us small retail investors are probably the last to hold the bag.

Hmm... it's the same old "big funds fleeing" narrative, and it’s always frighteningly accurate. To be honest, I believe it, but I don’t trust my principal. The institution withdrawal issue is indeed worth watching, but the "truly knowledgeable people"... what do we retail investors know about that? Following the rush might actually lead to hitting the bottom even faster. As for USDD, let’s not even mention it. I heard similar arguments about stablecoin defenses last year, and everyone knows how that turned out. And talking about "ample ammunition"—that’s a bit too much storytelling.

The story of institutions running away has been heard quite a bit, but this time the data is indeed a bit harsh. Such a clear reversal in volume indicates what? It shows that retail investors are still dreaming.

The signs of institutional exit are so obvious, yet retail investors are still sleepwalking. You need to quickly check what you are still holding.
