The crypto market has undergone a sharp reversal in sentiment, and it's worth understanding what triggered this shift. Market participants have suddenly reassessed their positioning, with traders rotating away from previous conviction trades. Several factors are converging: liquidity flows are tightening, key resistance levels are being tested, and on-chain indicators are sending mixed signals. The psychological impact matters—when whale activity or institutional moves signal uncertainty, retail traders often follow suit, creating feedback loops. Looking ahead, this sentiment reset could reshape near-term price action and trading volumes. Whether this marks a temporary correction or a more structural shift depends on whether fundamentals can stabilize or catalyze new conviction. Keep an eye on how exchange inflows and order book depth respond in the coming sessions.

It's the same old story... When the big whales move, retail investors just scream along. Can't you think independently?

Here we go again, when the big fish moves, the small fish scatter wildly. I really can't hold on through this wave anymore.

Here we go again. As soon as the big whale moves, retail investors panic and run away. It's really outrageous.

Big whales shake, and retail investors follow like sleepwalking... this trick has been played out.

Here we go again... When big players move, retail investors follow. How many times has this psychological game been played?

Once again, when big players move, everyone follows. We retail investors are really just destined to be the ones running alongside.

Another wave of sentiment flip, huh? When the big whales fart, we have to dance along. This is really tough.

Here we go again. When big players move, small investors follow, a classic herd mentality. I sensed it when liquidity started tightening. Now, it's all about whether the fundamentals can turn things around.
