I recently came across a seasoned industry investor's perspective, which I found quite interesting. He said that his team has been systematically increasing their ETH holdings since the major dip in October, and they have now become the largest bullish camp in the industry. A few days ago, their research institution added another 11,500 ETH, which, based on the current price, amounts to nearly $35 million.



His logic is as follows—although the market is currently full of bearish voices, the open interest in futures contracts has actually reached a new high, which indicates that the price control is in the hands of the bears. This situation often signals that a bottom has already formed. He is optimistic that there will be a market rally in the first quarter of next year, reasoning that 2026 will be a year of on-chain finance, stablecoin applications, a global interest rate cut cycle, and the concentrated release of favorable policies.

In addition to heavy ETH holdings, he also allocated positions in WLFI, BTC, BCH, and BNB. In simple terms, he is not bothered by a few hundred dollars of volatility but instead continues to build positions at the bottom, betting on the medium-term big trend.

The underlying issue reflected by this approach is worth pondering: when most people are still on the sidelines, the rhythm of large capital deployment often leads the market by a few steps. Whether to follow the emotional swings or to plan according to one's own rhythm may determine the gains for many in the next cycle.

WLFI-0,41%
BTC-0,23%
BCH-3,78%

I understand this move by the big players. To put it simply, it's about eating the panic sell-offs from the shorts. The contract reaching a new high is actually the bottom? That's a bit extreme... But this logic does hold up to scrutiny; the key is still mindset. Retail investors are easily scared out by daily charts.

ngl the short positioning asymmetry he's describing is classic market structure inversion... when bears get *that* loud while shorts hit ath, price deviation usually follows within 1-2 quarters. seen this pattern before on chain data.

$35 million buy-up I knew this wave was about to rise, big players' psychology is like this Contract hitting new highs and still calling for a bear to win? Bro, I need to ponder this logic... According to my analysis, this is just the prelude to a trap. Not being bothered by fluctuations really hit me; why do I always get caught up in swings of a few hundred dollars? The narrative about 2026 sounds quite grand, but the key question is, can the wallet address talk? Right now, I just want to follow the big players' orders. Wait, what is WLFI? This configuration is a bit interesting, not the standard Bitcoin or Ethereum package. Honestly, I really want to believe in this bottom layout strategy, but how many can truly stick to it? Most people will probably run during the rebound.

It's the same old story, big players sweeping in, bottom signals, waiting to double... It's getting so repetitive that my ears are getting calloused. What does it mean when contracts are at a high level? It indicates that people are betting on a reversal. In such times, shouldn't we go against the trend? But on the other hand, a volume of 35 million USD is indeed significant. If they keep increasing their positions, it clearly shows their stance. The question is whether they genuinely believe in this or are just trapping retail investors. My stance remains the same: don't chase highs, don't bottom fish, just wait for the monthly chart to confirm, and don't let these big players' news set the pace.
