The first trading day of the new year, the crypto market has received positive signals. Tether has significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings in the past 24 hours, reaching a new high, indicating institutional confidence at the current price levels. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs have reversed the previous continuous net outflows, with funds flowing back in, marking a clear shift in market sentiment.

Supported by macroeconomic factors, these signs collectively send a strong positive signal. The movements of large whale wallets are often early indicators of market turning points, and ETFs, as an important channel for traditional capital entry, showing signs of recovery suggests institutional investors are regaining confidence. Analysts point out that the synchronized efforts of these two forces may herald the start of a new upward cycle.

Market participants are generally focused on whether this momentum can be sustained and whether more on-chain data will continue to validate this positive trend.

Whales are bottoming out Bitcoin, this is a signal, I have to keep up with the rhythm. Tether's move this time is really impressive, directly pouring in money. ETF is starting to suck blood again, have the institutions really recovered their funds this time? Let's see how many days it can hold, don't be another flash in the pan. New year, new atmosphere, feels a bit different this time. I'll just see who dares to go all-in, anyway, I'm watching from the sidelines. Whale movements = my lucky god, just follow along. Institutions are here, retail investors should wake up too. The data looks so good, but I still feel a bit fake. Has it really risen, or is it just trapping people again?

Whales are starting to accumulate coins again. Is this really different this time? Tether is still buying aggressively. I wonder how many levels I can follow... Did ETF inflows turn positive? Alright, this time let's see if institutions really want to enter or if they're just here to cut the leeks again. New year, new atmosphere, but it feels like we say this every time... It's good that funds are flowing back, but I'm worried it's just a rebound. We need to see if the trading volume can support this. Is this wave truly taking off or just like this? Let's keep observing, brothers.

Whales are starting to accumulate again. Is this really the case this time, or are they just trying to harvest the little guys again? Tether increasing holdings to a new high sounds good, but I trust on-chain data more. ETF recovery is indeed a good sign, but can we hold this wave... it depends on how it develops later. Institutions entering the market means retail investors will be harvested again, same old story. On the first day of the new year, with this level of excitement, it really feels like this cycle is finally coming.

Whales are hoarding wildly, and I'm still hesitating whether to add to my position... --- Tether is really starting to bet on the rise again. This time, it won't suddenly dump again, right? --- Wait, is there an inflow into spot ETFs? Why don't I see it? --- A new year, new atmosphere. Are we about to start the cycle of cutting leeks again? --- Major funds are all eating up chips, retail investors are still waiting for the bottom. --- Can on-chain data lie... Recently, I haven't trusted this method much anymore. --- Their stance is strong, but what's the probability they can't maintain it for two weeks? --- Forget it, just get in first, anyway I haven't not lost money before.

Whales are starting to accumulate coins again. Is this really different this time? USDT holdings are increasing aggressively. Why do I still feel a bit hesitant... ETF inflows are turning positive. Not bad, finally showing some backbone. New year, new atmosphere, but I still want to wait and see—don't want it to be a flash in the pan again. What is Tether trying to tell us with this move? The capital inflow sounds good, but I just don't know how long it can last. Institutions are making moves? Then how should retail investors respond?

Tether is aggressively absorbing BTC. Are the whales hinting at something? Another ETF recovery—this time, is it genuine or just a trick to deceive us... Sounds good, but I'm worried it's just a rebound hype. Big institutions are moving; should retail investors follow or run? Can we hold this wave? Feels like I've heard this kind of rhetoric before. Hmm, let's verify with on-chain data before making any moves. Don't be fooled.

Whales are starting to stock up again, this pace feels a bit familiar. The ETF recovery indicates that traditional funds are indeed a bit eager to move... Let's see how long it can last. Is it true? Is this another new upward cycle? Let's wait and see the data later. It's only the first day of the Lunar New Year, and things are already intense. I am still sleeping. I know what Tether's increased holdings mean, but I'm just worried that the night is long and dreams are many. Whether this wave can continue is the key; historical experience tells me not to be too optimistic. It feels like they're starting to tell stories again... Will the data lie?
