Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added NPV than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.

⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
5 → 2 → 9 → 3 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 9 → 3 → 3. 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.

■ 68% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 18% new
Entry-cohort mix of 40 holders: 27 (68%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 7 (18%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
