Recently, Bitcoin's performance is indeed worth paying attention to. After breaking through the key resistance level of $95,000, it finally exited a nearly two-month consolidation range, which can be seen as a clear positive signal. In comparison, although Ethereum has experienced a sharper increase, its trend appears somewhat weak, oscillating around $3,400 repeatedly, showing a lack of momentum.

From the capital perspective, the situation is even clearer. The single-day large transaction volume for BTC reached about $1.7 billion, accounting for over 40% of the total trading volume, indicating that large investors and institutions are pouring money into BTC. Meanwhile, ETH's large transactions are only $130 million, about 20% of the total, clearly not in the same league. This comparison is enough to demonstrate that the main force in the market is currently bullish on Bitcoin, with capital showing a significant concentration effect.

Large institutions are still consolidating around BTC. A 1.7 billion big order has been placed—this is influence, right? ETH seems to be a bit neglected. --- Breaking 95,000 in Bitcoin really changes the flavor. It’s no longer a back-and-forth situation; institutional money doesn’t lie. --- Wow, the difference in funds is so huge. No wonder BTC is so fierce this round. Big players have already seen the potential; we’re just following behind. --- ETH’s gains are rapid but lack momentum? That’s the most painful part—seeing others soar while you stay in place, it’s tough. --- Just look at the funding situation—institutions are voting with their feet. BTC is this year’s favorite, no way around it. --- 17 billion versus 1.3 billion? That’s a clear gap. ETH still needs to wait a bit; entering now is a bit forced. --- After breaking 95,000, it directly moved out of the consolidation zone—that’s certainty. But caution is still needed for a pullback. --- The direction where institutions are investing is the trend indicator. Following BTC on this wave is definitely the right move; ETH should wait and see.

Haha, big investors are all playing with BTC, ETH is really being abandoned. --- After breaking 95,000, there's finally some movement. Those two months before were really suffocating. --- When comparing the amounts, it's ridiculous. BTC's ability to absorb capital is unbeatable. --- Institutions poured 1.7 billion into BTC, while ETH has less than a fraction of that. The gap is huge. --- It feels like this round is a solo dance by BTC, with other coins just as side players. --- ETH is stuck at 3400; it really needs a boost. Right now, it's completely suppressed. --- Gotta admit, this main upward wave truly belongs to Bitcoin. --- The difference in large-volume transactions is so many times, indicating that funds are betting on BTC's strong momentum. --- Looking at the big investors pouring money into BTC, I’m starting to believe this wave could break 100,000. --- With Ethereum's weakness, it probably has to wait until BTC is fully bullish before having a chance.

BTC is starting to show off again, ETH has indeed been a bit weak lately. --- Major investors are dumping BTC, this wave is definitely different, it's all about the funds. --- Breaking 95,000 and it's over? Let's wait and see if it can hold steady before making any conclusions. --- What's going on with ETH? The increase is so sharp, yet it still feels weak. It seems like it's being drained by BTC. --- The capital concentration effect is so obvious, the market actually made its choice a long time ago. --- 17 billion vs 1.3 billion, that gap is quite stark. No wonder BTC is so arrogant. --- Alright, alright, it's BTC season again. ETH holders are silently crying. --- Breaking through resistance levels guarantees a rise? Don't fool me, this has happened many times in history. --- Institutions are pouring into BTC, but why does it feel like my ETH is still kneeling on the floor? --- This comparison of trends is really heartbreaking. ETH really seems to lack momentum.

ngl the volume disparity here raises some flags... analyzed thoroughly and that 17b vs 1.3b split doesn't add up cleanly. btc mooning but eth limping around 3400? common pattern before a potential exploit in liquidity pools honestly. dyor but this concentration screams high-risk positioning to me
