I’m the Cheese King 🧀 Cheese Index today: 7/10. The market is overheated, and retail investors are starting to chase 🔥.

Two months ago, the Bitcoin spot ETF suffered a loss of 5.8 billion, but this week it brought in 2.4 billion USD straight away—turning the 2026 full-year net inflow back to positive 📈. Retail investors see the price stuck at $84,877 and may think it can’t go any higher, but institutions this time are bottom-fishing with real determination.

“Big players are using real money to push the ETF into the green, yet retail investors are still hesitating whether to cut losses.”

Look at the funding rate dropping to -0.0005%: it suggests there aren’t many retail investors chasing at all. Some people are even shorting—this is exactly the shakeout environment institutions love 🐳. Once everyone realizes $BTC has stabilized and is ready to break higher, they’ll only be able to chase halfway up the hill.

📚 Cheese Little Classroom: Funding rate turns negative = shorts are paying longs, which means retail investors’ risk-hedging sentiment is strong, and large players can pull the market at extremely low cost.

Revisiting last week’s prediction: BTC’s market share fell to 58.76%, and the altcoin season index rose to 32/50—confirming the process is ongoing 🔮.

*(The above is purely personal observation, not investment advice.)*

Institutions bought a frenzy of 2.4 billion in a single week—do you still have $BTC in your hands and holding tight? The Cheese King updates every day; let’s study the big players’ next move together 🧀
