U.S. stock market whales are quietly pulling out, leaving a $1.4 billion hole in just 5 days, while retail investors are still stubbornly defending the $73k support level.

The Cheese King is here 🧀 Today’s Cheese Index: 3/10. The cheese is frozen solid, and the market-wide Fear Index has dropped to 28 📉.

U.S. spot BTC ETFs have seen net outflows for 5 consecutive days, with a total of $1.44 billion withdrawn. Nearly $300 million flowed out in a single day. This means institutional investors are rushing to reduce their risk exposure. Retail investors see the price hovering around $73,028 and think it’s forming a base, but the traditional capital exodus hasn’t even begun to stabilize.

“Institutions are quietly pulling their capital and ammunition out. Don’t mistake sideways trading for a successful bottom formation.”

Looking at the data, the whale long/short ratio has surged to 1.96, indicating intense trading activity in the futures market. But the BTC perpetual funding rate is only +0.0073%, remaining neutral. This suggests that the heat in the futures market is just high-frequency hedging in derivatives, with absolutely no sign of bullish buying.

📚 Cheese Class: A whale long/short ratio of 1.96 means futures trading volume is 1.96 times the open interest. Trading is active, but buyers and sellers are evenly matched; it doesn’t mean whales are buying.

(The above is solely my personal observation and is not investment advice.)

Institutional funds in U.S. stocks have pulled out for five days straight. Are you still willing to stubbornly hold on to the spot assets you have now?
