📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added VCISY 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
3 → 3 → 5 → 1 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 5 → 1 → 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.
