Right now, this is truly the most testing time for patience. BTC spot ETF funds continue to flow out, in other words, major players are quietly exiting the market. No matter how much retail investors cheer and shout, it can't change this big trend.
The market isn't actually lacking liquidity; what it lacks is a reason for everyone to dare to get on board. The January time window is very critical — new policy signals may be released, or the market may continue this frustrating downward grind to bottom out.
The current deadlock is that everyone is waiting and watching each other. Institutions are waiting for clear policies, retail investors are waiting for institutions to move first, and retail investors are waiting for someone to lead the way. So what’s the result? Trading volume is becoming increasingly thin, and no one is willing to be the first to take the plunge. The only way to break this situation is through external events; relying solely on internal capital battles won't solve it.

Large investors are fleeing, retail investors are still shouting "keep going," which is indeed a bit hopeless.
Waiting and waiting, but no one dares to make the first move. The deadlock can only be broken by external signals.
It's been a long grind, really getting tired of it, just waiting for the January policy bomb.
If no one is willing to take the risk, then keep falling. Anyway, I'm used to it.
Institutions are watching cautiously, retail investors are watching cautiously, in the end, no one will want to make money.

Big whales secretly run away, retail investors are still shouting slogans, this market really makes me laugh
Wait, wait, still can't figure out what's going on, what can January do?
To be honest, this deal is just gambling on policies, everything else is虚的
With such light trading volume, who the hell dares to be the first to take the plunge, just wait to be cut
External events are the real savior, internal battles? Pure nonsense

The big players have run, and retail investors are still shouting. I've seen this script before, haha.
Wait, wait, wait. Who is everyone waiting to jump first? In the end, no one can run away.
As for the January policy... I just don't believe it anymore.
No one dares to take over the market, and the trading volume gets worse day by day.
External events to rescue the market? We'll each fight our own battles.

Big players running away, and we're still here waiting foolishly. This situation is really unbelievable.
---
Waiting for policies? Probably waiting until the flowers wither.
---
With such thin trading volume, who dares to be the first to buy in?
---
Basically, no one wants to be the sucker; everyone is waiting for others to move first.
---
This deadlock can only be broken by a black swan; internal self-rescue is hopeless.
---
Institutions and retail investors can't stand each other, it's hilarious.
---
Will there be a turning point in January? It's hard to say. Better to wait it out through the winter.
---
With capital outflows so obvious, jumping in now is basically suicide.
---
Without a catalyst, this market is really dead and dull.
---
Everyone is waiting for someone to lead, but in the end, everyone becomes an observer.
---
Nonsense about ample liquidity—it's obvious that people's confidence has dispersed.
---
Hearing "bottoming out" all the time is annoying; just keep waiting patiently.

Large traders run away, retail traders shout and rap, this situation is hilarious haha
---
It's the same old show of everyone looking at each other, we have to wait for external events to hit
---
Basically, no one wants to be the sucker, the answer will be clear in January
---
Grinding the bottom until you're annoyed, when will someone take the lead
---
Liquidity is fine, confidence is the scarce resource
---
Institutions and retail traders are waiting for each other, no one dares to take the plunge, this deadlock can continue
---
Policies not implemented, talking is useless
---
ETF bleeding, large traders are really withdrawing, this signal is too obvious
---
Waiting for policies, waiting for institutions, waiting for people to take the lead... but no one is waiting for a big spot price surge
---
Anyway, I've sold everything I should, waiting for signals everyone

Just wait for the January policy red envelope to come down, or this grind will go on until the Year of the Monkey
No one dares to be the first to take the plunge, so let's all just not eat it
External events are the real savior, everyone is just waiting
If this continues, the trading volume will be reduced to almost nothing, it's truly hopeless
