According to market data, on January 10th, the first full trading week of 2026, risk appetite in traditional finance clearly rebounded. The S&P 500 index rose by 1.6%, while the Russell 2000, representing small-cap stocks, surged by 4.6%, with the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF #以太坊大户持仓变化 VOO( attracting $10 billion in weekly inflows.

Interestingly, some traders have noticed that the price movement of the Russell 2000 is almost synchronized with the historical trends of cryptocurrencies—what does this imply? The re-pricing of risk assets by traditional capital often begins with small-cap stocks and then propagates to the crypto market. From this perspective, buy signals from mainstream finance could be leading indicators for subsequent market trends.

The performance of major and minor tokens like $POL, $BLESS, and $ETH might be waiting for this wave of traditional capital's "relay." Is the market really about to rise?🔥

ETH0.84%

POL-5.8%

BLESS-0.55%

Small-cap stocks are surging like this, are traditional finance really about to enter the market? --- I’ve long noticed that the Russell 2000 and the crypto world move in sync, it’s just that no one believed it. --- 100 billion inflow into VOO, now it’s up to ETH to see if it can ride this wave of benefits. --- Instead of waiting for traditional capital to take over, it’s better to get on POL first. --- Really, every time small-cap stocks take off, the crypto world gets excited, and this time should be no exception. --- The "leading indicator" of mainstream finance? Sounds impressive, but the logic does hold up. --- What are you waiting for? Anyway, it’s a signal that risk appetite is returning, so why not take a gamble? --- If this wave really kicks off, BLESS should double.

Uh... still the same story, traditional finance paving the way and crypto following suit? I'm already tired of hearing it. --- The 10 billion inflow into VOO is just a drop in the bucket; don't mistake small-cap stocks for a savior. --- Think about it the other way around: if crypto rises first, isn't it more common for traditional markets to follow? --- Wait, POL has been so weak recently, and you're still waiting for a relay? Give me a break. --- Synchronized movements are just a coincidence; don't overinterpret market psychology. --- If someone really starts to move, why are you still whining here? I've already gone all in. --- It's a bit funny—every time traditional finance joins in, they say there are leading indicators. And then? --- I just want to know, if this wave really arrives, who will be blamed if there's a sharp drop?

Russell 2000 and the crypto world moving in sync? That logic is a bit far-fetched. Will traditional finance money really flow in? --- A hundred billion inflow into VOO is about to take off. This time, it won't be another suppression, right? --- Wait, small-cap stocks are surging so strongly. Should our tokens keep up? --- Sounds good, but ultimately it still depends on the Fed's stance. Don't overthink it. --- Traditional capital relay? They said the same two years ago. How's that going now? --- Are there really that many funds following POL and BLESS, or is it just self-hype? --- The market is indeed starting to rise, but how long this wave can last is the real question. --- The pattern of small-cap stocks leading the charge is the same in every bull market. What’s meant to come will come. --- I don't trust traditional finance; I only believe in ETH's trend. Everything else is nonsense.

The recent surge in the Russell 2000 really sent a signal, and I buy into the logic of traditional finance's relay. Wait, can this really transmit to the crypto circle? Feels like every time I hear that 😅 10 billion dollars have been poured in, POL and ETH can't sit still anymore.
