Before chasing highs, it's worth checking the retail investors' enthusiasm.

Recently, the discussion about the silver market has noticeably increased, and more voices are calling for a gamble. According to common market rules, when large funds continuously flow into a certain asset, there are usually two possibilities: one is that the main players are still in the layout stage, and the other is that it is approaching the high point.

From an emotional perspective, when ordinary investors start to follow a certain asset intensively, what does that usually indicate? Historical trends tell us that this is often a warning sign. When retail investors are entering the market en masse, it is often also the time when institutions gradually start to offload their holdings.

So the issue is not whether silver is worth buying, but rather the timing. When undervalued, no one cares; when overvalued, it becomes noisy — this gap itself is worth being cautious about.

When retail investors flock together, smart money has already quietly started to exit. I've seen it happen too many times.

Where retail investors gather, I usually go in the opposite direction. The recent hype around silver is indeed a bit strange. Does anyone still chase this? The institutions have probably already slipped away quietly. After so many times in history, you still haven't learned? Watching others go all-in and rushing in, the ones who end up holding the bag are always themselves. The higher the discussion volume, the more cautious you should be. This is my biggest realization in the crypto world. The current hype around silver... feels like it's one step closer to the rooftop.

Oh no, this is a classic case of "don't go where there are too many people to join the fun." I’ve seen this pattern before in airdrop groups—when the interaction volume suddenly skyrockets, the number of contract interactions surges, and then it turns into a harvest for the bagholders. When retail investors gather in large numbers, institutions have already quietly pulled out. Just like when I once went all-in on a worthless coin, the higher the forum buzz, the more I lost. The key is to look at the timing, brother. This advice is spot on.

Retail investors tend to gather in certain places, and I always steer clear. The louder the shouts of "all-in," the closer the dump is, and this rule is definitely not just talk. Here we go again, where there are crowds, there are traps. The recent hype around silver is a bit strange. When no one is paying attention, it's underestimated; when everyone wants to jump in, that's the most dangerous contrast. Wait until the retail investor enthusiasm cools down; jumping in now means being destined to be a leek. Institutions have already started selling, while retail investors are still encouraging each other to go all-in. I just laugh. Just look at the discussion heat, and you'll know this wave is about to cool off. History always repeats itself.
