Just because US stocks rose during QT and are rising now during balance sheet expansion doesn’t mean “it must rise.” Markets are influenced by multiple factors, especially in the short term. For Bitcoin—a highly liquidity-sensitive asset—being only at $91,000 right now highlights that other forces (sentiment, positioning, macro uncertainty, demand) are clearly at play. Liquidity alone doesn’t dictate price.

Market makers don’t build positions through sudden limit-up spikes that trigger retail FOMO—that’s just a fairy tale created to satisfy the fantasy of getting rich overnight. Real accumulation is the result of countless tiny decisions, deliberately constructing low-cost inventory through disciplined, patient, and continuous stacking until inevitability emerges. On the micro level, every wash trade, every suppression, every stealth absorption looks ordinary, dull, and boring. On the macro level, retail traders exhaust themselves chasing hotspots, cutting losses repeatedly, and burning their attention—so when the real breakout finally comes, they either don’t see it or no longer have the capital or conviction to participate, and are automatically eliminated.
