Recent regulatory moves in Asia are casting a shadow over crypto markets. Bitcoin hovers around 90,491 (down 1.3%), while Ethereum trades at 3,120 (off 0.4%). What's more telling? Spot ETFs have gone nine consecutive days without meaningful capital inflows—a clear sign investors are sitting on the sidelines.

The Fear & Greed Index just hit 22, firmly in "Extreme Fear" territory. Total market cap stands at 3.26 trillion, but liquidations reached 208 million as traders got squeezed. When institutional money stops flowing and sentiment tanks like this, it usually means we're in wait-and-see mode until clarity emerges.

No effective inflow for nine days... This is just institutions waiting for the signal to start the next round of dumping. --- Extreme Fear Index at 22—put simply, it's a great time for concentration of chips. Don't say I didn't warn you. --- The Ponzi scheme model couldn't be clearer. The bottom looks stable, but it's actually accumulating chips. Anyone with experience gets it. --- 2.08 million liquidation amount isn't much; to really see the harvesting mechanism, we have to watch what happens next. --- Those getting out now are the ones who've already been harvested. I'm just saying... for reference only, everyone. --- Wait, wait, wait—one push from regulators and it's extreme fear. These operators really know how to set the mood. --- Wow, it's that time again to just sit and wait to get in. One word—timid. --- Risk warning: I'm just another retail investor who's been dumped on but still wants to say a few words. --- Institutions stopping entry doesn't mean there's no opportunity; it's just a different way of harvesting.

Wait, have institutions really stopped the bleeding? That's the real issue, not the coin price itself.

ngl this feels like the market's gone stale—nine days dry on spot etf flows? that's giving me overproofed sourdough vibes, all the air's escaped and nobody's biting. the real recipe disaster is when institutions pull their capital... that's your sous chef walking out mid-service, fr fr.

So as soon as this Asia policy is released, retail investors are getting fleeced? Told you so. --- Alright, it's another round of panic selling. Institutions have already exited and us retail investors are still buying. --- A fear index of 22 is truly scary, 2.08 million liquidation orders... Who dares to buy the dip, haha. --- No inflows for nine days? That means the bottom isn't here yet, just keep waiting. --- The whole market is only $3.26 trillion, Grayscale alone can make waves. This drop really isn't much. --- Asian regulation is here, so what does the US want to do next? Really can't handle it. --- Institutions retreating = time for retail investors to buy? Not necessarily, it's fine to be cautious.
