Recently, Bitcoin's performance has been quite impressive, with the price already surpassing $91,000. However, interestingly, the pace of capital inflow doesn't seem to be that aggressive. According to historical patterns, BTC's trend still follows the traditional four-year cycle framework, and this round of capital inflow appears relatively mild. This phenomenon is somewhat similar to the "accumulation period" in early 2020 — prices are rising, but large funds haven't fully entered the market yet. This mismatch is worth noting, as it may indicate that there is still greater upward potential to be unlocked. In other words, if historical patterns continue to hold, the story of Bitcoin's cycle might just be beginning.

The capital inflow is so mild... Could it be that institutions are still secretly accumulating? I feel like 91k is just the appetizer.

91k has not seen the main upward wave yet, this pace is indeed a bit strange... --- Funds are still hesitating, the price has gone up first, what does that mean... --- I've heard the saying about accumulation phase too many times, every time they say there's more room to grow, but what’s the result? --- Is the four-year cycle theory still valid? I’m skeptical. --- Haha, big funds haven't fully entered the market yet, so are retail investors jumping in a bit early now? --- Price rises with gentle capital inflow... how comfortable is that? The main players are probably quietly accumulating. --- Who didn’t understand that wave at the beginning of 2020? Now they’re starting to repeat the story? --- Wait, does this mean there’s still more room for a stronger rise? Should I add to my position... --- It’s good that the cycle framework is still effective, I believe in that. --- Gentle inflow but soaring prices, isn’t that exactly the sign of the main players pushing the market?

Over 90,000 and still talking about mild funds, are they trying to fool us and haven't gotten in yet? --- Tired of the same old saying during the accumulation phase, is this time really different? --- Haha, historical patterns... they say that every time, and then it gets cut short. --- Price surges but the big funds didn't follow? Then we should be even more cautious. --- When will the four-year cycle joke finally expire? I'm really exhausted. --- Wait, are you saying there's an even crazier market ahead? Oh my God, is your wallet ready? --- Relatively mild? It's scary enough that I want to cut my losses. --- Why is this logic so absurd? Less funds are actually a good thing? --- I didn't buy the dip during the 2020 accumulation; I can't make the same mistake again this time. --- Something's definitely off. What are the big players really up to?

90,0001 isn't considered crazy? I think it's already pretty wild, but your analysis does make some sense. The funds haven't caught up, and that's the real horror. Wait, are you saying there's even more room to grow? Then I need to add some chips. Can historical patterns be trusted? I missed out on the 2020 wave. The price has gone up, but the funds haven't exploded. This rhythm is indeed a bit strange. Is it true? It's just the beginning? Then I need to revise my strategy. I haven't felt any surge of funds; it feels a bit cold and quiet. This market trend is a bit different. Although the numbers look good, the atmosphere doesn't feel right. I’ll take your analysis; I need to think carefully about how to position myself.

The price has skyrocketed to over 90,000, but the capital flow is only like this? Haha, isn't this just a signal that there are still funds waiting to be invested?

This wave of capital entering the market is indeed suspicious. Why is it still so sluggish at 91,000? It feels like the big players are still on the sidelines. The fact that large funds haven't followed the price seems to be the most worth watching signal. The potential upside could be even more explosive later. I remember the 2020 wave, it felt just like this—the most difficult part is the accumulation phase, but once you get through it, it’s a whole new level. The cycle theory, although not 100% accurate, is surprisingly correct about 90% of the time. Is the capital entering gradually? I think, this is just the whales suppressing the price, preparing for a big move.
