Why do we need to know the data on fund entry and exit?

In the investment market, capital (money) is the core and key source of power. For prices to rise, capital inflow must be required. Funds entering the market > funds selling the market. If the demand is greater than the supply, the price can rise, and in turn it will fall. .

Taking the last bull market in 2021 as an example, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, the cryptocurrency with the largest cumulative capital inflow that year was Solana, and $SOL happened to be the cryptocurrency with the best price growth in this table that year, rising more than a hundred times.

In cryptocurrency investment, technology and market development are of course very important. These are biased towards fundamentals and industry development, but just like the financial market, they will pay close attention to various fund indicators, such as the entry and exit of the three major legal entities in the Taiwan stock market: foreign investment/investment/self-investment Funding trends for business, such as the Federal Reserve (FED) raising or lowering interest rates? These are all related to the funding status of the overall market and are variables on the funding side. In the financial market, only with funding can there be momentum for growth. Without funding, it is difficult to achieve large increases, and at most there will be small fluctuations.

Compared with traditional finance, cryptocurrency is still a very early stage market, and the overall market value is not high. Only when more funds enter the market can the overall cryptocurrency market value be increased. Therefore, for cryptocurrency investors, of course they would like to know how much external funds are flowing into the cryptocurrency market, from where, and to which projects?
