#数字资产市场动态 Retail investors are still enjoying their holidays, while institutions have long been laying out their plans in the shadows.
Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio's recent move has attracted attention: amid low market trading volume, he increased his position in $BTC and allocated some funds to small-cap coins. This is not just a simple call for buying; it's a carefully orchestrated "liquidity hunting" strategy.
His logic is straightforward—when market trading volume is extremely shrinking, and selling pressure is severely lacking, with order book depth nearly zero. In such an environment, just a slightly larger capital entry can leverage the entire price structure and trigger a chain reaction.
Why does he choose to bet "when everyone else is resting"? Looking at historical data makes it clear. Every January, the crypto market tends to experience significant volatility. And making moves at the end of December, when most traders are slack, is essentially seeking explosive opportunities in a "liquidity vacuum."
Meanwhile, most people in the market are still waiting for $BTC to break through 95,000 or even 100,000—"clear signals" before daring to act. But true opportunities never announce themselves with a gong. They often form quietly during the coldest market times, brewing while most are still watching from the sidelines.
There's an interesting paradox here: during extreme market panic, "greed" can actually be easier because the instinct to be greedy drives you. But maintaining sharpness during market apathy and lack of heat requires real professional skill.
The beginning of a bull market is often not marked by loud drums and celebrations. Sometimes, it starts at the most inconspicuous moment—when everyone is asleep, and only a few are already awake.

That's right, but I think most people simply can't wake up... even if they do, they have no bullets left.
The real gap often appears during these unpopular moments; we experienced this loss last year.
However, Eugene is a bit aggressive this time in the small-cap sector. The risk of low-liquidity coins is no joke.
Wait, he's increasing his position in BTC while also allocating to small caps? This combination is interesting. Is it risk hedging or for another purpose?
I'm just wondering, why do institutions never lack cash flow, while retail investors are always waiting for signals...
This is the information gap. Others have already noticed anomalies in the order book, while we're still watching the price levels.
Remaining alert during a cold period is easy to say, but executing it requires risking a year's worth of gains—not everyone dares to do that.

Uh, I've heard this logic too many times... Every time they say institutions are secretly laying out, but retail investors get cut again and again. But on the other hand, this fake period is indeed a window, the problem is how do we know who is truly "awake"

It's the same old story, institutional setups, liquidity hunts... the ones really making money have already quietly profited and won't come out to write articles to teach others.
Wait, this logic does have some points... during unpopular windows, it's indeed easier to flip.
Not to mention anything else, I just want to know how much he is holding now? Or is this just another harvesting show?
The few people who woke up, in the end, aren't they just harvesting each other?
Although I say this, I do have a bit of a mind to copy his trades... forget it, better to sleep.
