[Market Sentiment vs Institutional Actions: Hidden Signals Amid Panic]
Currently, the market sentiment index has fallen to 40, indeed filled with a lot of pessimism. But focusing only on sentiment can cause us to overlook more important things.
Let's first see what the market is panicking about— the probability of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in January has dropped to 16.6%, indicating that macroeconomic pressures have not been fully released. This is enough to make many people choose to wait and see.
But here’s the key point.
What are the institutions doing? ETF trading volume has doubled, and long-term Ethereum holders are quietly accumulating. Meanwhile, infrastructure development at the foundational level continues, and liquidity is being continuously injected into the market through various channels.
MEME assets require sufficient liquidity to maintain their heat, and many people understand this. The problem is that current liquidity is in a stage of rapid inflow— this is precisely a good time for contrarian positioning.
Panic and opportunity are often just a matter of perspective. When most people hit the brakes out of fear, some players are already preparing for the next wave. Instead of blindly exiting, it’s better to stay highly attentive, let the data speak, and find exits through contrarian thinking.
