78% of all-time peak

📉

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -20%, value -48%
Last quarter: funds added -20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -48%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
