📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

82% of all-time peak

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -20%, value -45%
Last quarter: funds added -20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -45%. 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
0 → 2 → 5 → 2 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 5 → 2 → 2. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 83% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 83% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 6% new
Of 18 current holders: 15 (83%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 29% AUM from major funds
29% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 18 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 29% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
