I was awakened by a message in the early morning. A friend said his account only had 2000U left. ETH has fallen below 3000 dollars again, and if he can't turn things around, he will completely leave the crypto space. You can feel the helplessness even through the screen. I checked his trading records—classic retail "death wish package": chasing highs wildly at the top, panicking and cutting losses at the bottom, making 8 trades a day, with the principal evaporating rapidly.

Over the years, I've seen too many stories like this—coming in with dreams of overnight riches, only to leave burdened with losses and debt. But what I want to say here is that 2000U is not the end. What can truly turn you around is never reckless gambling with heavy positions, but understanding the market and patiently executing strategic plans.

Looking at the current market, it becomes clear. Institutions are active, whales are sweeping up, while retail investors are panicking and selling off. Recently, a large asset management firm transferred $140 million worth of ETH to top trading platforms, directly breaking through the psychological barrier of 3000 dollars. Coupled with outflows from related compliant products, many retail investors were so scared they liquidated overnight, fearing a drop to 2000 dollars.

But on-chain data doesn't lie. The data from the past three weeks shows that whales holding over 10,000 coins have been aggressively buying. These are the real moves by institutions and big players. When retail investors panic, the truly wise participants have already completed their布局. The difference lies here—one side driven by emotion and hasty decisions, the other by data-driven calm planning.
