BTC at $78k and everyone's screaming institutional adoption.
But check the volumes - they're dead quiet.
Either:
→ Smart money accumulating off-exchange in dark pools
→ Or institutions are sitting on their hands waiting for a better entry
Volume doesn't lie. Price can pump on low liquidity, but sustained institutional flows? That shows up in OI, spot volumes, and premium metrics.
Right now we're seeing price discovery without the conviction. That's either a bear trap before the real move, or retail getting exit liquidity'd.
Watch the data, not the narrative.
