At three in the morning, I was still asking in the group, 'Should we cut our losses?' By ten in the morning, I was nearly shocked into dropping my phone by two news items. Let’s just say, the wealth gap in the crypto circle has already widened in terms of sensitivity to information.
One was a calm statement from 'old-timer' CZ on a social platform: 'I believe our core ecosystem token will soon see a wave of historical new highs, but the specific timing depends on market rhythm.' The other followed closely with a pop-up: 'Tom Lee's leading macro trading agency on Wall Street has invested $68,670,000 heavily in Ethereum.'
As an analyst who has been tracking the market for eight years, I slapped my thigh and thought: This is not two independent news stories, it's clearly a 'reveal announcement' that the big players have agreed upon.
First, let's talk about the weight of CZ's recent statements. What kind of character is this person? A few years back during the bear market, he would only dare to use phrases like 'the market may stabilize' with 'high probability' or 'there may be opportunities' to cushion the blow, fearing to tarnish his reputation. Now, he dares to use definitives like 'soon' and 'more new highs'; this is not prediction but offering the market a 'calming pill': the level of funds I can see is much higher than what you day traders imagine.
If CZ is using reputation for 'qualitative' assessment, then Tom Lee is using real money for 'quantitative' assessment. Some may not have a concept; what kind of action is it to spend 68.67 million dollars on Ethereum? This is not the retail type of 'let's buy ten thousand to test the waters,' but an institutional-level 'bet.' It's worth noting that Tom Lee's team accurately pinpointed the bottom of the bear market last year, relying on the logic of 'not looking at emotions but at asset value.' What he buys is never about short-term fluctuations, but the certainty that 'now is the undervalued area.'
Here’s a solid knowledge point, which I often tell my fans: the 'reversal signal' in the crypto market has never been the doji on the candlestick chart, but rather the 'coordinated actions of information frontrunners.' Ordinary people often get trapped in the confusion of the 'fear and greed index' and 'five-minute fluctuations,' forgetting the most core logic that capital always sniffs out opportunities before retail investors.
Take Ethereum for instance; the staking yield after the upgrade is stable, and the Layer 2 ecosystem is maturing. These underlying values are there, yet most people are still tangled up in 'will it drop another 10%?' Meanwhile, the big players have already communicated in two ways: one is using industry status to tell you 'the direction is right,' and the other is using real money to tell you 'you can act now.'
Previously, a fan asked me, 'Will a new historical high really come?' I then asked him back, 'Do you think CZ would joke about his reputation, or that Tom Lee would spend tens of millions on charity?' The rules of the market have never changed: by the time the retail investors recover from panic and the news is all about 'Ethereum skyrocketing,' the price will no longer be what it is now.
Now, what you should really ask yourself is not 'will it rise,' but 'when it does rise, do you have chips in your account?' Smart investors are never about predicting the market, but decisively following along when signals appear. This is also the core message I share with everyone daily: earn money based on understanding, not on emotional losses. Follow Yangyang.
