Recently, the trading volume data of FOLKS has been interesting, and I must discuss it with everyone. CoinGecko data shows that the trading volume over the past 24 hours surged to $10.16 million, a 27.9% increase compared to the previous period, but the price only rose by 5.65%. This divergence between volume and price indicates that funds are quietly entering the market, signaling that a major move may be imminent.

Looking at the current macro environment, the picture becomes even clearer. The Trump administration's crypto executive order has been issued, and the regulatory framework for stablecoins has been clarified. After the SEC appointed a new chair, the attitude towards crypto has noticeably shifted to a more friendly stance. Yesterday, there were reports that traditional financial giants like Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley are increasing their holdings in Bitcoin ETFs. This suggests that traditional capital's attitude towards the crypto market is quietly changing, and the capital outflow effect will inevitably spread across the entire market.

Now, let's examine FOLKS' on-chain data itself. Circulating supply is 12.42 million tokens, with the current price at $4.66, and a market cap of $58.09 million. This size is exactly the "small and beautiful" target that institutions favor—small enough to push without much pressure, with scarcity guaranteed (maximum supply of 50 million). I analyzed data from 39 trading pairs across 17 exchanges; 12 of these pairs saw trading volume double within 24 hours. Importantly, buy orders dominate, while sell orders are mostly scattered retail orders. This feature is very clear—institutions are rhythmically accumulating, not driven by retail emotional FOMO.

The divergence between volume and price combined with institutional orderly entry makes this a setup worth paying close attention to.

The pattern of divergence between price and volume is something I've seen too many times. The real test is whether you can maintain your mindset when institutions are accumulating. --- Small-cap stocks are indeed easier to manipulate, but don't be hypnotized by the word "scarcity." True scarcity lies in the awareness of riding the trend. --- It's worth paying attention to the moves of big players like Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley. The question is, how much of the soup can we small investors actually get? --- Are the data for 39 trading pairs really uncovered? I feel that the claim of "absolute dominance" by buy orders might be a bit overly optimistic. --- Price isn't rising with volume, either it's building positions or it's a trap to lure in buyers. The key is how it will develop later. It's too early to say anything now. --- Institutions accumulating with rhythm sounds good, but market changes are too fast. Data from today might be invalid by tomorrow.

On-chain data monitoring shows that this wave of buy orders indeed has a rhythm, unlike retail investors who blindly dump. Notably, out of 39 trading pairs, 12 have doubled in trading volume... The logic behind this is worth digging into.

Divergence between price and volume is indeed interesting, but I think it still depends on whether it can break new highs later; otherwise, it's just false prosperity. I have to question the institutional accumulation theory; retail investors' orders can also create this effect. With a cap of 50 million tokens, I always feel like these numbers are a bit too coincidental.

Divergence between price and volume is indeed interesting. Small-cap stocks are definitely more easily manipulated by institutions. With such obvious accumulation rhythm from institutions, there should be quite a few retail investors following along, right? How will they handle the exit when the time comes? Oh, here we go again with the "traditional capital entering the market" rhetoric. They say this every time, but what’s the actual outcome? The market cap is only around $58 million. Honestly, that’s a bit too small. Is the liquidity really sufficient? How are the buy and sell orders data collected? I find it a bit hard to believe. Where does this level of accuracy come from? Wait, does FOLKS really have so many trading pairs? Why is my trading volume so low normally? I have to say, it looks logically consistent, but be careful not to become the one getting cut.

Hmm... The divergence between volume and price is indeed suspicious, but claiming that a 5-point increase indicates institutional entry? I don't think so; retail FOMO can also cause this effect. The key is whether it can break through $5.5 in the future.
