ETH's volatility is indeed more intense than BTC's. Over the past couple of days, investors' tolerance for ETH has been relatively good, but by Thursday, it changed. Large funds started to reduce their positions significantly, clearly unable to hold back. The joint selling pressure from institutional investors has noticeably increased, and this signal is very important. Currently, the correlation between ETH and BTC remains strong, and the market's tendency to follow BTC is particularly evident. In other words, this wave of ETH volatility is mainly driven by BTC, and the amplified fluctuations are a natural result.

I saw that wave of institutional selling on Thursday, and it was indeed fierce.

Data shows that the large funds really couldn't sit still during the wave of reduction on Thursday... However, whenever BTC moves, ETH trembles along with it. When will this unreasonable mechanism be fixed? Let's wait a bit longer; the historical lows might still be ahead.

Thursday's sell-off was really fierce; big funds simply couldn't hold back anymore.

Large funds concentrated on reducing positions on Thursday? Haha, I guess I should add to my positions again.

BTC dragging ETH along, I bet the arbitrage opportunity against the trend still exists.
---
Another institutional sell signal, every time this show happens, does anyone really believe it?
---
Tolerance changes so quickly, it indicates on-chain data is about to turn, gotta watch the big players' movements.
---
Amplified volatility = opportunity? I've already built positions and am waiting for a rebound, betting on liquidity premium.

Such a strong correlation, shorting ETH to hedge BTC risk? That's interesting.

Large funds reduced their positions on Thursday, and ETH just went down the drain.

Large funds made a move on Thursday, and ETH's true nature was immediately exposed.
