Recently, I read through that new in-depth annual research report. To be honest, the amount of information was so overwhelming that I could barely keep up.

The report is titled "Clearing the Deck," which sounds pretty cool at first glance, but upon opening it, the density of content is astonishing. From start to finish, it's filled with hardcore data and institutional-level analysis.

If ordinary retail investors try to go through it page by page, they'll realize that this thing isn't really meant for them. The report is aimed at institutional investors, market makers, and professional traders who deal with derivatives.

But here's the interesting part — the analysis focuses precisely on the most critical changes happening in the current crypto market. Whether you're a retail investor or an institution, understanding these changes can help you adjust your strategies accordingly.

Retail investors reading this kind of report really is self-inflicted suffering, or just look at others' interpretation versions The big moves from institutions, and we’re just guessing riddles "Clearing the Deck" sounds pretty cool, but I don’t know where the mystery lies The data is too hardcore, I can’t quite understand it, everyone Honestly, it’s still the institutions playing their own game, and we can only grab some scraps The core changes definitely need some pondering, or else the strategy will have no direction The density is so high, maybe one small detail could totally confuse us Forget it, let’s wait until the big V’s digest it all before following the trend

Ah, this report... to put it simply, it's just the institutions' own small chat groups, retail investors find it exhausting. From an institutional perspective, we’ve really understood their approach and can adjust strategies accordingly, but it’s truly effortful. The name "Cleaning the Deck" is quite clever. Those hardcore data points are well-organized, but they’re a bit over-packaged. The report is indeed substantial, but you need patience to digest it; most retail investors will give up.

"Clearing the Decks" is indeed a brilliant name, but after watching it, I was immediately discouraged from retail investors... Luckily, I forced myself to watch it all the way through.

Haha, institutional reports are like this. They look sophisticated but are actually just a threshold setting. Retail investors have to grind through this stuff, and their brains will hurt for a week. But you're right, understanding the core logic is still essential.

"Clearing the Decks" is indeed a intimidating name, but frankly, it's just the private dish of the institutions. Retail investors just find it amusing; those data and derivatives analyses are really beyond our scale to digest. But on the other hand, the core logic is still worth pondering, and it can give us a glimpse of what big funds are thinking.

"Cleaning the Deck"? Sounds like a major purge, retail investors need to be careful. --- Institution-level reports are hard for retail investors to digest? Might as well tire themselves out, better to rely on summaries from experts. --- Where is the core of the market change? Hope knowledgeable folks can point it out. --- With such dense content, I really can't keep up, maybe wait for someone to translate it. --- It feels like these reports are meant for big funds; us small retail investors shouldn't bother. --- But we do need to keep up with the core changes, or we'll really get cut. --- The name "Cleaning the Deck" is spot on, it’s about clearing out some positions. --- Can someone summarize the key points? Reading page by page is too exhausting. --- Experts are all looking at this report; we need to keep up or risk falling behind.

The "Deck Cleaning" report is indeed quite harsh; retail investors simply can't handle that level of density.
