💎

⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
1 → 1 → 1 → 1 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 1 → 1 → 0. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
