Institutions and investment funds when purchasing Bitcoin and digital currencies often choose OTC channels instead of regular markets. The reason is simple: this option maintains a stable price without sudden spikes and conceals the true buying intentions from others.

The scene changes after the accumulation phase ends. The price movement begins not during execution, but afterward. Those who only monitor on-chain data will notice the rise after the work has already been completed, which means the opportunity may have been missed.

Old buddies are all watching on-chain data, but they already finished eating long ago haha Big institutions play this game: stash quietly first, then promote the price surge... When can we retail investors find out in advance? OTC trick is brilliant, completely stealth operations. By the time we react, it's already too late.

It's the same story again. Big institutions are quietly accumulating coins, and by the time retail investors look at on-chain data, it's already too late.

The big players are all using this method: first quietly doing OTC, then the on-chain data reflects it... By the time we retail investors see the price increase, it's already over. LOL

Oh no, it's the same old trick again. Institutions quietly gobbled up for three years without making a sound, while retail investors are still playing the catch-up game in on-chain data. Impressive.

Big players all use this strategy, no wonder retail investors are always a step behind. By the time they realize it, the market has already been pushed up.

That's why on-chain data is always half a beat behind... the big players have already had their fill.

Ha, so that's the strategy of the big players... OTC quietly taking profits, while us retail investors are looking at on-chain data and they've already left. Wait, so does that mean we never stand a chance? This is ridiculous, always one step behind.
