Ethereum experiences another large buy-in. Just over 5 hours ago, several well-known market makers and asset management institutions teamed up to sweep the market, purchasing a total of 12,166 ETH, amounting to $38.09 million.

Watching this move, I couldn't help but laugh. The price was still suppressed low a couple of days ago, yet these institutions refused to act. It wasn't until the price started to rise in the past two days that they began to buy aggressively. It’s a bit like that—obviously there are cheap options available, but they only buy when prices are high. As for this trading approach, how should I put it...

But on the other hand, the appearance of such a large order indicates that there are still people optimistic about the future trend. It's just that the timing of this move is really hard to ignore.

Laughing to death, these big whales really know how to choose the timing. When it's cheap, they hide like crazy. Wait, what does this move indicate? Is there more to come? Institutions are just like this—sell off retail investors and then pretend to be optimistic. 38 million just to make a splash, haha. No, how do they always manage to buy at the highest point... It's the same old story, buy only after it rises, truly impressive.

This move by the institution is really a bit outrageous. They don't buy at low prices and just wait for the price to rise before sweeping in. I really can't hold back anymore.

Institutions really know how to pick their moments. They play dead when prices are low, and only go on a buying spree once prices have risen. I truly admire this strategy. --- They threw in 38.09 million, but I can't tell if they are optimistic or trapped... --- These market makers always wait for the right moment, no wonder retail investors always get cut. --- The large volume clearly indicates someone dares to take the risk, but choosing this entry point is quite intriguing. --- No, why didn't they buy a couple of days ago? They had to wait until prices surged before entering. Their IQ truly matches that of institutional investors. --- They bought over 12,000 ETH in one go—quite a big appetite. There might still be some play later. --- It looks like they are preparing for the next wave of gains, but the timing choice is indeed a bit off.

These big players are really something. When prices are cheap, they play dead; when prices go up, they start buying the dip... No, is it the top? I can't tell anymore. This move by the institutions is truly teaching us what reverse operation looks like. They poured in $38.09 million, which at least indicates there's more to the story later; the timing of this was really perfect. Watching their moves, I’ve learned—never try to pick the buying points like institutions do; it's a mystery. For orders of this size, either there's insider information or they are just pure bagholders. I bet five bucks it's the former.

Haha, these big traders are really like this—buy low and die, go crazy when it rises. --- The institution's move this time is truly outrageous—refuse to buy at a low price, insist on catching the top. --- Spending 38.09 million in one go, it seems someone still has confidence in the future. --- I just want to know what these market makers are thinking—chasing the high. --- Honestly, it's the same old story—retail investors bottom-fishing, institutions chasing the high—laughable. --- With such a large volume, I need to confirm—are we about to go up again? --- But speaking of which, daring to buy so much at this time—still has some confidence, I guess. --- Is this move a typical case of "I have money, I do what I want"? --- Feels like testing the support level—maybe there's more to the story later.

Haha, these institutions really know how to pick the right time. Playing dead when it's cheap, then rushing in when it rises—it's ridiculous. --- 38.09 million just to shake the market? That amount of money can't even stir the current Ethereum wave. --- Wait, is this really a buy-up or just the last round of accumulation before dumping? Why do I find it hard to believe? --- Institutions never follow the usual rules when bottom-fishing. These guys just love chasing highs. Who understands? --- 12,166 ETH sounds like a lot, but it's an issue of average cost. Are they just starting or is it almost over? --- So they were waiting during the dip a couple of days ago, and now they come in only after the price has been pumped up. Truly typical. --- They promised to watch the subsequent trend, but what happened? Bought in and then dumped? I bet five bucks it will crash next week. --- These operational details are so crucial. Is it a joint effort by institutions or just a big player putting on a show?

Laughing to death, this group of institutions is as bad as I am. They missed the bottom when trying to buy the dip. With their moves, they buy at the high points—truly incredible. But the trading volume does show they still have confidence; I just can't understand their thought process. They dare to pour money in even after such a big rise—really brave. If they hit a bad trade this time, it will be quite a show. I've already figured out the institutions' tactics of cutting leeks; just wait and see.
