In the past week, I have been tracking the movement of institutional funds. To be honest, I was a bit surprised when I saw the net capital inflow curve.
There is a piece of data circulating in the market—about 70 leading asset management firms have quietly transferred 6.06 million ETH into cold wallets over the past few months. This amount is roughly equivalent to 25 billion USD in RMB. More interestingly, these assets are dispersed across over 1,000 sub-addresses, with an average entry price ranging from $3,800 to $4,200.
The key point is—these funds are locked for three years. This isn’t about short-term trading; it’s clearly a bet on a bigger market trend.
Looking at the current market, Ethereum broke through $3,219 this morning, and holding above the $3,100 support level for the sixth consecutive trading day. From December 30th to now, the increase has reached 9.7%. Technically, the 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts are all in a bullish alignment, with the price sitting above the middle band of the Bollinger Bands, and short-term moving averages providing solid support.
On the derivatives side, funding rates remain positive, and in the past day, shorts were liquidated for 59 million USD. The market’s greed is clearly evident.
But here’s a small flag—4-hour RSI has already surged to 73, entering overbought territory. In the short term, there is some downward pressure, so don’t blindly chase the high.

With a total of 6.06 million tokens, their average cost basis is only around $4,000? This tactic is similar to those flash loan snipers in the mempool... dispersing across over 1,000 sub-addresses, clearly trying to evade tracking or optimize some arbitrage opportunity. The three-year lock-up period seems suspicious to me—are they really betting on a big market move?

Institutions quietly locked in their positions for three years. Even if there's a correction this time, they won't die. That's really ruthless.

The institutional bottom-fishing batch is really playing a big game, a three-year lock-up is no joke, these people don't care about short-term fluctuations at all.
Be cautious of RSI overbought, don't be blinded by the gains, adjustments can come at any time.
6.06 million coins quietly moved into cold wallets, retail investors are still arguing about it.
This wave of momentum is quite interesting, large institutions are indeed more patient than us.
When the funding rate is positive, it always signals risk, be careful of getting caught off guard.
Basically, they are waiting for that retracement opportunity, otherwise why would institutions distribute across more than 1,000 addresses?

This move by the institution is really ruthless; a three-year lock-up is basically a high-stakes gamble. However, people still chasing the high with RSI already at 73 need to have some mental preparation.

Institutions have a three-year lock-up, while retail investors are still debating whether it will drop tomorrow. LOL
