Big money is clearly loading up while most retail traders are still on the fence.

With the Fear & Greed Index hovering right around neutral territory, there's neither the hype of euphoria nor the panic of a crash. That sweet spot usually signals one thing: this isn't the whales dumping yet.

It's accumulation. It's positioning.

I've watched this exact pattern unfold before. Price stays steady, then suddenly it doesn't. The move catches most people off guard because they're waiting for the obvious signals.

The big fish are eating the chips, retail investors are still hesitating. I'm too familiar with this trick.

Oh my, are we really about to get dumped this time... But it seems like the big players are still quietly accumulating, and us retail investors are just waiting to be harvested.

Here we go again with this routine, big investors are accumulating while small investors are still sleeping.

Here we go again with the argument that "big players are quietly accumulating"... Every time, it sounds so convincing, but what's the result?
