💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -7%, value -58%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -58%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
1 → 2 → 9 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 9 → 0 → 1. 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.
