There are new developments on the macro front. The Federal Reserve injected $16 billion in liquidity today, marking the second round of large-scale liquidity infusion since the pandemic. Industry insiders point out that this round of liquidity injection will be more aggressive than before—think back to the crazy bull run after 312, and you'll understand how much liquidity flooding impacts the market.
What's even more interesting is the microstructure on the chain. After reviewing the data, the number of addresses holding BTC and ETH in institutional wallets is still increasing, while the exchange balances of these coins have dropped to recent lows. What does this mean? Chips are rapidly consolidating, and retail holdings are decreasing.
Within this structure, a phenomenon is hidden: once the market truly starts moving, the situation for short-sellers will become very awkward. A large number of open positions waiting to be liquidated are piling up, and forced liquidations could trigger a chain reaction. From a technical perspective, the pressure to liquidate is enough to push for a significant upward move.
Overall, the scenario of ample liquidity combined with tight chips has already formed. These two conditions rarely appear together, and once they do, an upward trend is usually just a matter of time. Some who saw this early have already closed their short positions, while those who continue to hold are risking heavy losses, as can be imagined.
Strategically, the current logic is to prepare funds, enter gradually at lows, and wait for this structure to release energy. Short-term fluctuations are just noise; what truly matters is that the overall direction remains unchanged.

$16 billion is released, and this time it's really different. The bears should be scared.

16 billion is coming again? The bears really can't hold on this time
Bears are waiting for liquidation, haha
I missed the wave after 312, I can't afford to miss this time
Institutions are accumulating, retail investors are taking the bait, old tricks
Liquidity injection + tight chips, this combo is perfect
Waiting for this wave to release energy, gotta make a profit
Short-term fluctuations are indeed just noise, the key is to watch the direction

$16 billion liquidity injection, here we go again? The shadow of 312 still hasn't disappeared, and this time the pace is even faster. It's getting a bit hard to hold on.
The coins held by retail investors are decreasing, institutions are accumulating, and a chain reaction of short squeezes is about to happen. It sounds like a trap.
Prepare funds for the low point? First, let's see where that low point really is. Every time we talk about the low point, we're still the ones getting trapped.
With tight chips and abundant liquidity, it sounds good, but when it really rises, who knows if it's another play by the big players?
Those who closed early have already fully exited. Are we a bit late to be discussing this now?
They speak convincingly, but is on-chain data really that valuable for reference, or is it just for entertainment?
