The situation with ETH is worth a close look. From the spot side, this wave of pullback has accumulated about 17K of net buying pressure, indicating that many retail investors or small funds are accumulating positions at the bottom. In comparison, futures open interest has remained relatively flat and has not followed the upward trend, reflecting that large funds are not aggressively going long. More interesting is the order book structure — the sell side is clearly stacked, and this asymmetric depth configuration usually indicates upward pressure. So the overall picture is: the spot market is actively absorbing, but both futures and the order book reveal a cautious attitude among market participants.

Retail investors are buying at the bottom again. It's no wonder if they make money this time.

Retail investors are bottom-fishing, large funds are watching, this is the current situation. With so many sell orders stacked up, it's also difficult to go up.

Retail investors are quietly accumulating at the bottom, while big players are still on the sidelines? This difference is quite interesting.

Retail investors are buying at the bottom, while big players are just watching? That's outrageous.

17K net buying pressure, are retail investors bottom-fishing? Futures are just idling, big players are not in a hurry at all.

Retail investors are buying at the bottom, but big funds are hesitant to follow? Something doesn't seem right about this.
