Bitcoin short squeeze may test $90,000, but leverage risks are heating up
The core driver of this BTC rebound is the short squeeze. A large amount of short positions being liquidated brings passive buying, pushing the price up, with a short-term chance to hit $90,000.
However, it’s important to distinguish: a short squeeze relies on closing positions funds, not continuous new spot buying. As the market rises, leverage quickly increases, open interest in contracts keeps growing, and the risk of two-way liquidations simultaneously expands.
My view: Around $90,000 is a strong psychological and resistance level. Even if briefly broken, a quick pullback is very likely. In a high-leverage environment, reversals happen much faster than expected. Don’t mistake a short squeeze rally for a sustained one-sided uptrend.
On the macro side, U.S. Treasury bonds and Federal Reserve expectations can disrupt the market at any time. The higher the leverage, the more a single correction can trigger a chain of liquidations. At this stage, prioritize controlling leverage, avoid chasing highs, and beware of bull traps. What truly determines the market direction is often not a single large bullish candle, but whether there is support after a pullback.
Taking $BTC as an example, a price rebound only indicates that selling pressure has temporarily eased; it does not directly prove a trend reversal. The key is to observe three points: whether the pullback holds above the previous low, whether volume expands simultaneously during the breakout, and whether spot funds are willing to chase the price.
If the price rises but volume continues to shrink, it is often just short covering; if $ETH remains clearly weaker than $BTC, it indicates that market risk appetite has not fully recovered. Only when major coins show correlation and the retracement gradually narrows can the structure shift from a "rebound" to a "trend."
Therefore, the most important thing right now is not to guess the top or bottom, but to wait for the market to complete confirmation. Making one wrong call is not scary; the most costly mistake is to heavily invest without confirmation. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 $OKB has gained 48% unrealized profit. If it were you, would you sell now?
My cost is 84.33, and the current price has reached around 123 USD.
More importantly, below 121 USD was originally my dollar-cost averaging zone.
Now that it has really risen above that, I’m actually not planning to add more positions.
The question I need to consider next has shifted from:
How to buy, to how to sell.
When the price was below 121, my thinking was simple: as long as the weekly chart stayed in my dollar-cost averaging zone, I would keep buying slowly as planned.
But once the price truly broke out, the logic changed.
Since my position has already covered this range, there’s no need to chase and increase risk just because the price went up.
Next, I want to see if the overall market can continue to rise.
If $BTC, $ETH, and other major coins can maintain strength and market sentiment doesn’t weaken significantly, I’m willing to hold patiently.
But if the market clearly stalls and OKB itself starts to weaken, I will consider gradually reducing my position to lock in some profits.
However, I won’t sell everything; I will keep a portion as a long-term base position.
Many people think the hardest part of investing is daring to buy when prices fall.
But the real challenge after prices rise is:
Fearing selling too early and missing further gains, or selling too late and giving back profits.
When buying, you can rely on a plan.
The real test often comes after making money—whether you’re willing to sell. (This article is a deep and long read, a bit lengthy, please skip if you mind) Introduction: A Transfer Sparks Reflection Suppose you now have twenty thousand dollars and want to send it from New York to Shanghai. Using traditional banking channels, you need to fill out a series of forms, go through intermediary banks, experience exchange rate conversions, wait one to three business days, and be charged unclear telegraph fees and intermediary fees. The money "disappears" for dozens of hours in transit; you don't know whose account it is on, nor how many segments it has been split into circulating among several agent banks. But if you have used any mainstream crypto asset exchange or any major public blockchain, you know what another world looks like: deposit, transfer, trade, withdraw—all completed within minutes, with transparent chains, low fees, and 24/7 nonstop service. The feeling after using it can be summed up in four words—there's no going back. This is not just a tech geek's fuss; it is a feeling of the times. Just as those who have used smartphones can no longer tolerate dial-up internet, those who have used Web3 financial infrastructure can no longer respect the financial experience of Web2. Behind this is a game far deeper than a mere "experience upgrade": China and the United States, two great powers, are positioning themselves on the battlefield of finance—the most core, most secretive, and most destiny-determining arena. This article aims to clarify the logic of this game along six clues and finally offer a perhaps radical but not unfounded answer: the renminbi legislates, anchors to industrial electricity, goes on-chain, and directly confronts the US dollar.

2806, this position is quite unfamiliar, a bit more than the expected 2782, and a bit less than the upper 2842.19.
However, it doesn't affect the oscillation during the National Day holiday. 2640 has been tested as a pullback, so now we wait for a pullback at 2687, or 2666. The opportunity is still very good, it's a volume-increasing position, reasonable!After Trump's meeting with the six Gulf countries, BTC might have to work an overnight shift for the global market again.
Don't go to sleep too early tonight. BTC's peak at $87,000 today is truly exciting, but a single sentence at the Middle East negotiation table could first impact your futures account.
Trump plans to meet with the leaders of the six Gulf countries on September 22, New York time, to discuss the Iran situation. Converted to Beijing time, the important news window is roughly from the evening of September 22 to the early morning of the 23rd. The exact meeting time hasn't been announced, and the outcome is unknown, so there's a fear of sudden news breaking out.
This is exactly where the crypto market is most prone to violent fluctuations.
Stocks, bonds, and crude oil have main trading hours, but BTC is open 24/7. If news breaks after traditional markets close, the crypto market may bear the first round of sentiment and price discovery.
If there is a sudden surge or plunge tonight, I won't chase immediately but will first see if it can hold steady to avoid being liquidated by sharp spikes.
After Wall Street clocks out, BTC takes the night shift, and altcoins bear the collateral damage.
As for me, I’m responsible for opening my account at 3 a.m. and then comforting myself:

Daily: Open 2643.7｜High 2806.8｜Low 2642.4｜Close 2774.5, up about 4.95%. Opened near the low, lower shadow only 1.3, closed near the high, a full-day one-sided upward move, resembling a bullish marubozu.
Monthly: August +32.49%, September so far +12.31%, recovered from 1504;
Weekly: Open 2644, surged to 2807, closed 2770, +4.79%, strengthening for three consecutive weeks. High volume big bullish candle + flag continuation, structure is healthy.
Concerns: 4 days from 2357 to 2807, about +19%, short-term deviation is large; 2620-2990 is a trapped zone, ETH breakout is tougher than BTC; ETH is weaker than BTC, follows but does not lead the rally; near 2807 resistance, risk-reward ratio for chasing longs is average.

Yesterday's big bullish candle on BTC looks intimidating, but we need to look beneath the surface. Simply put, this rally isn't driven by new money entering the market; it's the shorts being forcibly liquidated and "lifted" up. Think about it, when shorts get liquidated, the exchange automatically buys to close positions, which is like injecting adrenaline into the market. But once that adrenaline wears off, who will take over the positions?
The technicals make it even clearer: the 4-hour chart is already overbought, indicators are almost smoking. Plus, look at the last few candles—volume is shrinking and price can't push higher, a classic "high-level sideways distribution" pattern.
Those smart money players who bottom-fished earlier now hold all the profits, and as soon as the market pauses, they'll be the first to run. When the selling pressure hits, you'll see what "rises fast, falls faster" really means.
Don't change your worldview just because of one bullish candle. This kind of short squeeze comes hard and goes hard. We won't chase the highs; we'll wait for a rebound to key resistance levels, then enter short positions for steady gains.
Short BTC at 86500-86800, target first at 83800, if broken then 80500.

Let me share my own small funds
Playing with small funds by myself is actually quite enjoyable
Every day I just play with the salary paid by OKX
On the day the Fed raised interest rates before, 150 dropped to 40
Now from 40 to 1000
Just holding on stubbornly
I realized
Actually when the real big market comes
Not many people make money
Everyone thinks the rise has peaked
All choose to short BTC and ETH
Another kind is those who missed the earlier rise
Thinking the rise is about enough
So they shorted in
Once shorted, they got trapped
Trapped and crying out loud
When the trend is upward
Not going against the trend is the most correct
Better to miss out than to short
$BTC $ETH #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #Volatility Radar: Coin Movement Observation
I fully closed my $BTC positions in batches at 82,800 and 84,800. Looking back now, if I had held on half a day longer, I could have made quite a bit more. For a split second, I even felt like slapping my thigh.
But it was just that one second; I truly felt completely at ease.
In the past two months, this position was down -55%, with the liquidation price pushed down all the way to 67,900. I woke up in the middle of the night every day to check the market; the small change earned from HYPE grid trading was all used to fill this bottomless pit. That dull knife cutting into flesh, being pressed underwater unable to breathe feeling—I really had enough.
When I fully closed the position, my hands were shaking. Not from excitement, but from relief. I finally cut off the anxiety of watching the market every night and securely put my principal and my own profits back in my pocket.
Selling too early is normal in crypto; who can guarantee selling at the highest point? The narrative around this wave of AI agents and the reserve bill is indeed strong, and the market will continue to push higher. I won’t make that money, but I’m not envious.
Now, I hold $USDT earning interest, while FLOCK and $OKB grids are tirelessly auto-arbitraging beside me. No more liquidation risk, no more waking up in the middle of the night. Missing out on 87,000 is better than blowing up at 67,000.
Having endured the darkest night, I’ve landed safely. Keeping my bullets ready, waiting for the next pullback or the next big drop to get back in.Oh my god, US Treasury debt is going to increase by one trillion.
Wall Street expects net financing of US short-term Treasury debt to increase by about $1 trillion over the next year, with short-term debt accounting for 24.3% of the marketable US Treasury debt by September 2027. Debt matures faster, refinancing happens more frequently, and interest keeps compounding.
On the other hand, ETH has locked 35% of its supply. 43.32 million tokens are staked, shrinking the circulating supply. BitMine alone has locked 85% of 5.96 million tokens. ETFs are still seeing net outflows this week, but prices keep rising.
One side is desperately issuing debt, the other is desperately locking coins.
Both rely on scarcity, one through printing, the other through locking.
Looking at interest rates again. Kashkari from the Fed said this morning that inflationary pressure is not limited to energy; service prices remain elevated. Musalem said further rate hikes might be needed. The probability of a rate hike in October has already reached 55.4%.
Interest rates won’t come down, so debt can’t roll over. If it can’t roll over, more short-term debt is issued to fill the gap. Issuing more makes it harder for rates to fall. This cycle is a headache for everyone watching.
The higher the interest rate, the more valuable locked ETH becomes, because if you don’t lock it, it just sits there getting diluted by inflation. The more US Treasury debt is issued, the more precious BTC and ETH’s "limited supply" appears.
So the current situation is clear: traditional finance is creating more debt, crypto is locking more coins. One dilutes, the other concentrates.
What do you think will happen in the end? Will the debt break first, or will the coins rise first?
#美债短端供给或增万亿美元 $BTC $ETH $SNDK $FIL "Doomsday Chariot" Nickname Origin
"Doomsday Chariot" was originally not a nickname for FIL; it was first the nickname for ETC (Ethereum Classic).
Veteran traders in the crypto circle have summarized an experience: in a major bull market cycle, after all sectors and coins have risen one after another, the coin that starts last and suddenly surges violently at the very end often signals that the entire bull market cycle is nearing its end and the bull market is about to conclude.
Hence the name "Doomsday Chariot" — the final charging chariot at the end of the bull market.
Later, in the latter half of the 2021 bull market, FIL arrived late. After other coins had already surged significantly, FIL suddenly started to rise, doubling in just two days. Many in the market believed it had taken over ETC's title, and from then on, the nickname "Doomsday Chariot" was given to FIL.
✨ Why FIL fits this nickname very well
1. Always starts late, a latecomer in the market
In every altcoin season, other coins in the sector (such as AR) first achieve huge gains and heat up the market, then FIL arrives late to start its rise. It always performs the last wave of catch-up gains in the sector.
2. After a pulse-like sharp rise, it tends to fall quickly
Historically, several times, after a short-term violent surge, a large number of retail investors FOMO in chasing the high and taking over the bags. Once the rise ends, it immediately enters a long decline.
This is what people say: once the Doomsday Chariot starts, the party is over and chaos follows.
3. Its inherent selling pressure reinforces this label
Miners continuously release tokens. Once the price surges, many miners and trapped old holders collectively cash out and sell. Even if it rises short-term, the selling pressure is continuous, making it difficult to sustain a long bull run; mostly it is a pulse-type market.
⚠️ But now the community has two different views
Old-school view (traditional Doomsday Chariot understanding): once FIL pumps, it means this altcoin cycle is about to end, signaling the market's final phase, and the rise is the last celebration.
A new perspective from some retail investors:
This cycle is different. The current rise is driven by the supply contraction and deflation expectations starting October 15. They hope it will no longer be a pulse at the bull market's end but will instead rely on the staking lock-up mechanism to create a positive spiral upward, breaking the past "Doomsday Chariot" fate.$ZEC Good morning, I just switched to the 4-hour chart to take a look. The current price is 1,468.97, down 1.96%. The 24-hour high is 1,572, the low is 1,444, and the volatility remains very intense.
Looking at the trend, this wave surged from 788 all the way to 1,595, more than doubling, but recently it has pulled back after the high. Now it has fallen below the MA5, MA10, and MA20 moving averages, which are all clustered around 1,495 to 1,498, forming short-term resistance above. The Bollinger Bands middle line is at 1,498, the upper band at 1,578, and the lower band at 1,419. The price is currently running between the middle and lower bands, and the previously extremely strong rally has clearly weakened.
Looking at the data over a longer period, it has risen 30% in 7 days, 75% in 30 days, and 260% in 90 days. These gains are quite shocking, with very rich profit-taking at the bottom. Short-term support is first seen in the 1,420-1,440 range; if it breaks below this, it will test the lower Bollinger Band. The resistance above is at 1,495-1,500; only by reclaiming this level can it be said to have turned strong again.
For coins that have surged like this, the pullback is also ruthless. My advice is not to rush to catch the falling knife. Those holding spot can take partial profits first, and those without positions should patiently wait for a full drop and stabilization before acting. Absolutely avoid leverage; this kind of volatility with sharp spikes can drive people crazy.
This is my personal opinion and does not constitute any investment advice.

The question now is not whether it will fall further, but whether you have gotten on board: the total crypto market cap expanded by about 160 billion in one day, standing back at 2.8 trillion. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元
This round of rise is driven by liquidity, not news:
1. $BTC miners have stopped selling, which is the most easily overlooked change in this rally. This change is more valuable than any big bullish candle.
In September, the miner MPI dropped sharply from 2.8 in August to -1.2, and the selling pressure from miner wallets flowing to exchanges has almost dried up.
2. Whale turning point: addresses holding over a thousand coins have net increased their holdings by 3,800 coins in the past 7 days — whereas in the past 30 days they net decreased by 50,000 coins. Selling in 30 days, buying in 7 days, the smart money's shift has just happened.
3. Technicals: intraday high 87,399, RSI 72.5 slightly overheated. MA7 at 81,177, price is far from the moving average, short-term divergence needs to be digested. Chasing a coin with such a large divergence likely means buying at the emotional top.The first truth: The cost line of ETF holders has been recovered
This is the most overlooked detail in the entire market movement.
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart estimates that the average holding cost for Bitcoin spot ETF investors is about $80,172. When Bitcoin broke through $86,000 on September 21, it was the first time since January this year that ETF investors as a whole returned to a floating profit zone.
Do you understand what this means?
In the past few months, Bitcoin has fallen from the all-time high of $126,080, and ETF holders have been "underwater." They bought at $82,000, $85,000, $90,000, then watched the price drop to $75,000. They are the most painful group in this bear market.
But last week, the situation changed. Despite the CLARITY Act being blocked in the Senate and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 25 basis points, the Bitcoin spot ETF still recorded a net inflow of over $600 million. About $593 million flowed in just on Thursday and Friday.
The bad news came out, but the money didn’t run away; instead, it was buying. This is not a "sentiment reversal," this is a physical recovery of the cost line. The $80,172 figure has changed from a "trap line" to a "safety cushion." When a group’s unrealized losses turn into unrealized gains, their behavior shifts from "cutting losses" to "holding," even "adding positions."
$BTC $ETH $SOL #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC$BTC surged to 86,465.80, approaching the 90-day high of 87,374.30, with over $750 million in short liquidations in a single day, but the movement is driven by leverage accumulation rather than a full-scale spot market entry.
The contract long-short ratio dropped from 1.03 to 0.94, the active buy-sell ratio is 1.13, and shorts continue to be squeezed. Open interest increased by 7.1% in one day and accumulated +18.1% over 7 days, with the funding rate holding at +0.0100%, indicating leverage is rapidly climbing. However, on-chain active addresses are only 564,511, below the 7-day average of 625,236, and the single-day net outflow is just 25 coins, showing that secondary speculation is clearly hotter than real demand.
BTC longs held for 3.4 days have a return rate of +144.5%, with stop-loss moved up to 85,561.80, following the rules without guessing the top.
The 4H RSI has reached an overbought zone at 82.1. Only a daily close above 87,374.30 with volume will open up space; if it falls below the 4H EMA20 at 82,188.82, the accumulated leverage will face a long squeeze and retracement.
Facing a surge in contract positions but without matching on-chain activity, do you think this is the start of a true breakout or a bull trap after a leverage short squeeze?

Personal observation, not investment advice, please assess risks yourself. $DOGE Good morning, woke up to see Bitcoin surge to 86,000, and Dogecoin also broke through $0.1 accordingly, up 3.72% in 24 hours, reaching a high of 0.10212. It has risen 23% in 7 days and nearly 35% in 90 days. This wave of the Meme sector has completely become the vanguard of the market.
Looking at the daily chart, the trend is extremely fierce. The three moving averages MA5 (0.09210), MA10 (0.08708), and MA20 (0.08717) are diverging sharply upwards, a perfect bullish alignment. Even more impressive, the price has directly broken through the upper Bollinger Band (0.09714), the band opening completely torn apart. From the previous low of 0.06757 to now, this rally has hardly paused.
The 0.1 level is very critical, both a psychological integer barrier and a dense area of previous trapped positions. The price is now significantly deviated from the short-term moving averages, with very rich profit-taking positions, so a sharp short-term pullback could happen at any time.
For those holding spot, congratulations on catching a big gain this wave, but it is recommended to take partial profits around 0.1 to lock in gains. Those without positions, absolutely do not FOMO chase at this level; if Bitcoin sneezes even a little, Meme coins fall the fastest. For those wanting to get in, patiently wait for a pullback to 0.09 to 0.092 (around MA5) to stabilize before considering entry.

#ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 According to the OKX community snapshot, during the hour of 07:00 on September 22 (China time), the mention counts for BTC, SOL, and ETH were 193, 61, and 50 respectively; in the same window, BTC was about 59% bullish and 8% bearish, SOL about 43% bullish and 5% bearish, ETH about 60% bullish and 6% bearish. PEPE was mentioned 20 times, about 95% bullish; META 22, HOOD 17, ZEC 18. In terms of volume, SOL still exceeds ETH, but the bullish ratio is warmer for ETH and cooler for SOL. The bullish and bearish ratios only describe the tone of this batch of texts, not actual trades. Note this mismatch between volume and sentiment for this round; we will compare again with the next snapshot.Short squeeze drives broad rally, but spot demand is the real litmus test Liquidations totaled about $750 million, with shorts accounting for $648 million, involving 137,000 people. This is a liquidation-driven rally. $BTC: Surpassed 85,000, hitting a new high since January. ETF net inflow in a single day reached 435 million, with Fidelity's FBTC leading at 310 million. But RSI is approaching the overbought zone near 70, and the average cost for ETF investors is 85,600 — meaning most have just b🔥 BTC and ETH both rise, but altcoins are feeling increasingly uncomfortable?
🟠 BTC: Breaks through around 86,000, returning to a strong range.
🔵 ETH also stands near 2740, indicating that funds are clearly more inclined toward top assets at the moment. A stronger market cap doesn't mean all coins will rise together; instead, a clear "vampire effect" may appear.
🟣 ZEC: This has been typical in recent days. It once surged above 1570 but now can't even hold 1550. While the market rises, it clearly lags behind, showing that fund enthusiasm is diverging. Especially for coins with huge gains earlier, when mainstream assets strengthen, profit-taking funds are more likely to cash out.
⚠️ So what’s truly worth watching now is whether altcoins can regain fund support after BTC’s strength. If BTC and ETH continue to absorb liquidity while altcoins remain weaker than the market, the so-called "full altcoin season" will be hard to form.
👉 Don’t just look at who’s rising the most now; pay more attention to where the funds are flowing. When mainstream is strong and altcoins are weak, the market logic is no longer the same as a simple broad rally. Wait for structural confirmation before deciding the next step—it’s more important than blindly chasing gains or cutting losses.
#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ETH冲高2700美元，质押与资金面现分化 #OKX预言家：好市多季度财报会超预期吗？ Many people ask if Bitcoin can be shorted now. I think there might be a pullback, but the room is limited, at most around 84. Chasing a one or two thousand point short against the major trend is not cost-effective. It's better to wait for a drop to buy, with a stop loss set around 82 for more security. Currently, there are two possible trends: one is that Bitcoin will slightly oscillate here, using sideways movement instead of a drop, with altcoins following the pace to rally and catch up. After Bitcoin adjusts, it will continue to rise straight toward around 90,000 before starting a pullback and oscillation; the second is that Bitcoin will directly pull back here to test support around 83-84, with altcoins falling synchronously, then after sufficient oscillation, it will rally again to test above 90,000. Personally, I lean toward the first trend. Only by opening some distance will there be better room for pullback and oscillation. This trend assumes no unexpected news from the US-Iran side; otherwise, it's hard to say.$CP This profit makes me feel both anxious and fearful, afraid that the market will realize tomorrow and blacklist me. The short position was realized quite smoothly, so smoothly that I dare not speak loudly; I almost thought I was mistaken.
Just after lunch when I checked the market, CP was still pretending to be strong, but the resistance above was obvious, volume didn't keep up, and every rally fell just short. At that time, I suggested opening a short position, entering at 0.03914, with a simple logic: no one is buying, so the rebound is a shorting opportunity.
Don't get greedy with profits, don't despair with pullbacks. The market punishes all kinds of arrogance, especially those who think they are the smartest.
Now at 0.01377, the short position is +1296.37%, time for a good meal. The earlier hesitation was real, but coming out of it feels great; those in the car must have woken up laughing, this rhythm was nailed perfectly.
First realize 80%, keep the remaining 20% at cost price as protection; if it continues to drop, let the profit run. Waiting for good news, will act again when the next signal comes, don't chase highs, chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. The market is not short of opportunities, it lacks patience.

BTC is consolidating, but the funding side is quietly improving
Around $81,000, BTC has been grinding for nearly a day. Last night's bullish candle was decisive, but there was no obvious profit-taking on the chart, indicating limited selling pressure for now. Current quotes: BTC 86434, ETH 2773, SOL 119.
What’s really worth noting is the activity on the funding side. BTC spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $433 million yesterday, ETH attracted $144 million; SOL ETFs have accumulated about $60.7 million inflows this week, with $47.6 million contributed in a single day. Meanwhile, yesterday’s surge also wiped out about $470 million worth of short positions.
Tonight’s outlook:
· BTC: Continue to anchor at 87000. If it can hold around 86000, consider light long positions; if 86000 breaks, exit and wait. After breaking 87000 on the upside, focus on the 86000–87000 range.
· ETH: Relatively more resilient. The 2700–2800 range is where orders are willing to wait; if 2600 breaks, admit the mistake and exit; after breaking 2700, look at 2800, then 2900 upwards.
Overall, consolidation isn’t bad; funds are flowing in, shorts are retreating, and the breakout may just need a trigger point $BTC $ETH $SOL Good morning, if previously it was in a phase of low-level oscillation adjustment after a decline, now the trend has clearly reversed. The previous weekly high has been broken, breaking the bearish structure of lower lows. This can also be seen as the A wave rally after the 5-wave decline on the weekly chart. Now we just need to wait for the B wave correction and expect the C wave rebound. This is the understanding of the larger cycle. Currently, attention should be paid to the monthly chart's three consecutive bullish candles reaching the mid-band resistance, and watch for profit-taking behavior by the bulls.
The overall bullish trend is undoubtedly confirmed. As mentioned yesterday, breaking and holding above 82800 would lead to around 85000, which is the weekly resistance. Yesterday's attempt to short on the left side failed. According to the current situation, the price has entered a relative resistance zone. After three consecutive bullish monthly candles, a significant correction may occur, which is the expected B wave pullback. This kind of movement would make more sense if it happens with a high followed by a decline in October. Therefore, the most focused selling area is between 90000-92000.
From the daily structure perspective, after the bottom rally, there have been three upward segments. We are currently in the third segment of the rally. The first principle for shorting is not to short on the first big bullish candle outside the breakout range. Ending the daily with a big bullish candle and immediately turning bearish is somewhat forced. It is more reasonable to form a high-level oscillation distribution structure and then fall back. In the short term, the support around 83000 below has been tested multiple times without breaking. Pay attention to the support at this level during the current pullback for buying opportunities.
In the short term, today is expected to hold the daily upper band near 85300 and rise. If a high followed by a pullback forms at the previous high, it will enter a high-level oscillation; otherwise, it will continue to rally until testing the key resistance zone of 90000-92000. This is likely the area where bulls need to short hedge. Specific analysis will be done then. For today, the short-term view remains bullish, but watch for adjustment after reaching new highs.
In summary, the bullish trend is confirmed, and the daily U-shaped bottom has been established. The major trend pullback is acceptable. However, currently, it is in a relative resistance zone. Pay attention to buying opportunities after the B wave correction. The most critical resistance is at 90000-92000. If resistance forms there after next month's rally, the adjustment space mainly depends on 83000. If effective support forms there, buy directly. If it breaks down, then focus on the previous oscillation zone of 80000-75000. Short-term pullbacks are buying opportunities, with a reference level near 85300.Bitcoin breaks through 86,000! Should you chase now or wait for a pullback?💥
Just saw BTC shoot straight to 87,000, hitting an eight-month high.
This surge is really strong. Last week, the "Clear Act" was rejected, 23,000 BTC dumped, and what happened? A V-shaped recovery. The bearish news couldn't push it down, showing the buying power is solid.
But the problem is, at this level, chasing risks being stuck, waiting risks missing out. ETH has also risen to 2,800, ZEC recently pulled back from 1,595 to around 1,485, with a clear overbought signal.
Here are three key points for you to judge:
First, above 86,000 is a target range of 86,700 to 93,000, and 75,000 below is the key support recognized by analysts. If it holds, the story continues; if not, it's a different matter.
Second, RSI is approaching 70, short liquidations in the past 24 hours are close to 800 million USD, a short squeeze is pushing the price up. The short fuel is burned out, what will drive the price higher next?
Third, funds are flowing back from AI to crypto, Hougan directly said "the crypto winter is over." Whether you believe it or not, ETFs are indeed seeing net inflows, 435 million USD in a single day.

This price rally looks more like big whales buying, not the ETF. Which side do you trust more? $AKE's trend, those who chased the rise earlier are probably starting to feel uncomfortable.
I shorted AKE/USDT around 0.06518, now the mark price is 0.05806, with a 20x floating profit of 218.47%, almost 2.18 times the initial. Despite several rebounds in between, the key point is that the price near 0.065 was never reclaimed, so the shorts have basically captured the full profit.
Now the price is grinding back near 0.058, the short-term drop is no longer as sharp as before. The 4-hour MA5 is at 0.05537, MA10 at 0.05397, MA20 at 0.05626, the moving averages are converging, and KDJ is rising from a low position. I think it's unnecessary to aggressively add new short positions here.
My handling of the AKE short position is simple: having more than doubled, I first take back control. The remaining position will watch around 0.056; if it breaks down again, I’ll look toward 0.05167; if it rebounds and closes back above 0.060, I won’t keep fighting it.
Having secured this kind of profit, it’s okay to earn a little less later, but don’t give back the gains already in hand. $BTC $ETH #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 9.22 Morning Session: BTC shrinks volume with six consecutive bullish candles, short-term needs a break 📉
First, let's look at BTC's daily chart. Yesterday closed with a solid bullish candle, bulls are indeed still pushing, and the overall trend hasn't broken. But switching to the 4-hour timeframe, it has already formed six consecutive bullish candles, and the latest candle is starting to show an upper shadow, with volume gradually shrinking.
After the US stock market closed and rallied, the price has pulled back a bit. Rising on shrinking volume usually means fewer people chasing the highs, increasing the probability of a short-term correction.
The KDJ indicator is near 80 and about to form a bearish crossover. The chance of an intraday pullback is quite high, but the major trend remains intact; the correction is a matter of rhythm, not a trend reversal.
BTC morning operation: short near 86500, target 84800-84500.
Next, look at ETH. On the 1-hour chart, it surged to around 2775 and closed with an upper shadow, now starting to pull back. Although two bearish candles have appeared, the strength is not enough to end this upward structure. The short-term adjustment looks more like high-level consolidation rather than a reversal.
ETH morning operation: short near 2775, target 2725.
Overall judgment: The major trend is still intact, but short-term overheating and correction demand are accumulating. Do not chase longs, nor panic; trade according to the rhythm. Set stop losses properly and control position size.
$BTC $ETH #BTC #ETH #MorningAnalysis #美债短端供给或增万亿美元 Uniswap's $UNI has even experienced short-term pullbacks in some statistics, but on a weekly scale, it has been counted among the leading DeFi performers because the SEC's tokenized stock exemption was interpreted as "on-chain stocks ultimately needing to be traded on DEXs." Analysts named Coinbase $COIN, Robinhood $HOOD, and Circle, while also considering UNI as a beneficiary token of DeFi. The logic is straightforward: after stocks go on-chain, aggregators, AMMs, and lending protocols all act as pipelines.
UNI's short-term price can be out of sync with sentiment because old issues like market-making rewards, unlocks, and fee toggles still persist. What really needs to be tracked is whether DEX trading of tokenized stocks has shifted from pilot to routine. With volume, UNI's fee narrative won't just be a PPT. #SEC代币化股票创新豁免落地，UNI盘中涨超21% #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #OKX星球话题来啦 2.6 million USD, not a cent reported in taxes, sentenced to 18 months.
To put it simply, there's one point: the money was obtained by fraud, and they tried to avoid taxes, but in the end, both were accounted for together.
So what does this have to do with us trading crypto?
Not much, but there's a pretty clear signal.
The US is now cracking down on crypto crimes, not just catching the fraud itself, but also closing in on tax evasion.
Whether the money you earn is clean or dirty, you can't escape the IRS.
What about the market?
Cases like this won't directly affect the price of $BTC, so don't force that connection.
But in the long run, the compliance noose will only tighten.
What’s really worth watching is whether more similar cases will break out in clusters.
If they do, it means regulators are systematically cleaning up, and that’s what affects market sentiment.
Looking at this case alone, I’m cautious—neither interpreting it as bullish nor bearish.
Let’s see what the next move is.

Members do not receive OpenAI salaries, the panel operates independently, only discussing review standards and academic norms. This seems more like setting up external endorsement in advance, because using solving public problems as a benchmark has already triggered public letter doubts.
What short-term traders really need to watch is not the model's capability, but how long this review mechanism will take to produce the first public conclusion. If it keeps delaying, it means even internal mathematicians cannot confirm whether those proofs hold.
I can't even fully write the Navier-Stokes equations, yet I'm already wondering if it will affect the next candlestick.
#AI降速争议未退，算力投入继续加码 $BTC $ETH stands above 2700｜Staking hits a new high, but funds show divergence
Staking reached a historic high of 43.16 million ETH (35% of total supply), with inflows far exceeding outflows, locking in long-term chips.
However, staking APR dropped to 2.46%, significantly reducing interest appeal in a high-rate environment.
BlackRock ETF increased holdings by 1.57 billion in 20 days, with nearly 10 billion net inflow in Q3, indicating institutional long-term buying; but high interest rates suppress short-term funds.
There is massive historical selling pressure between 2700-2800, and a breakout requires volume expansion.
Summary: Staking locks in long-term chips, but low yields fail to retain hot money. How far ETH can go depends on which comes first: macro rate cuts or on-chain demand.
#特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 You are standing at 0.10, betting that "the whales will continue buying above 0.10."
This is not analysis, it's a guess.
If you guess right, you earn 10% to 15%. If you guess wrong, it falls back to 0.088, losing 12%.
The odds are average, the risk is extremely high.
One last honest word.
In the 2026 crypto market, DOGE's narrative is changing. The ETF failed, but the whales did not leave. This indicates one thing: DOGE's pricing power is shifting from the "institutional channel" back to the "emotional game between whales and retail investors."
Whales are accumulating at 0.08, shorts were crushed at 0.09. 0.10 is a psychological iron gate and also a decisive battlefield between bulls and bears.
You don't need to chase in at 0.10. You need to wait for 0.10 to hold steady, or wait for it to pull back to 0.09 to confirm support.
The shorts have already died off once. Next round, if you stand on the wrong side, you will be the one who dies.
(The above content does not constitute investment advice. The market has risks; only those who survive have the right to talk about the future.) $DOGE $BTC $ETH #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 So where is the spot buying for DOGE?
Whales bought 240 million coins between September 9 and 14. That was 10 days ago. They accumulated between 0.083 and 0.087. Now it's at 0.10, are they still buying? On-chain data shows nothing. No indication is the biggest risk.
Here's my advice to you:
I know what you're thinking. DOGE rose from 0.085 to 0.10, and you're wondering, "Should I chase?"
My answer is: first look at the data showing "1.68 million short liquidations, zero long liquidations."
That means during this rally, the longs chasing the price have hardly been liquidated. The price kept rising without anyone being knocked out. No long liquidations indicate there aren't many positions chasing the highs — which is a good thing.
But it also means: if the price pulls back, where are the stop-loss levels for those longs who entered at 0.095 and 0.10?
Set at 0.088? That's a 12% gap from the current price. DOGE's intraday volatility allows it to drop from 0.10 to 0.088 within a single day. Can you withstand a 12% unrealized loss? $DOGE $BTC $ETH #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 The $CORE project team posted on their official Twitter just after 4 AM today: Fast connections.

The familiar time, the familiar script is here again.
Releasing promotional copy at dawn, combined with short-term price pumping to attract attention, and by daylight, the price slowly falls back to the starting point. This cycle has repeated many times.
The entire text only paints a grand vision of BTCFi, completely ignoring the continuous selling pressure caused by the over-issuance of staking rewards.
No matter how beautiful the envisioned on-chain functions are, they cannot hide the reality of continuous token release. So-called positives are often just a pulse to lure buyers.
Some firmly believe the ecosystem will eventually take off and are willing to hold long-term; but those who have fallen into countless dawn pump traps have long seen through it. Over and over, it’s still the same old story of empty promises.
⚠️ This is only a personal market observation and does not constitute investment advice. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and carries significant risk. ETH stands above $2700: Locked chips, fleeting hot money
ETH has climbed back above $2700, but looking deeper, staking and capital flows tell two different stories
On the staking side, more and more chips are locked up. About 43.16 million ETH are locked in staking contracts, accounting for 35% of the total supply, a historical high. Around 2.48 million ETH have entered the queue, with very few exiting. More people want to lock than to leave. The cost is diluted returns—7-day staking APR has slid to 2.46%, less than half of the 5.06% peak in June 2023. For interest-driven capital, this return is unattractive in a high-interest environment
On the capital side, institutions are buying, but macro factors are pulling. BlackRock added about $1.57 billion ETH via ETFs in 20 days, raising holdings to $8.7 billion; Q3 saw net inflows of about $10 billion into Ethereum ETFs, showing strong long-term allocation intent. But with the Fed rate stuck at 3.75%-4%, the opportunity cost of zero-yield assets is high, and short-term capital is more sensitive to macro conditions
Technically, the $2700-$2800 range has over 10 million ETH in historical volume, indicating significant selling pressure. Breaking upward requires stronger buying power
The root contradiction is: staking locks up long-term chips, thinning the circulating supply, which theoretically should make price moves easier. But a 2.46% yield can't hold hot money, which prefers 4% risk-free interest in money market funds
Whether ETH can continue to surge depends not on how many coins are locked, but on two things—when macro conditions cool down and when on-chain demand recoversBig Brother Maji's positions have undergone drastic adjustments in the past two days
$ETH On September 20, he held about $67.75 million in $ETH long positions, with unrealized profits of about $1.81 million, opened at $2526. But on September 21, there was a brief plunge, and $ETH unrealized profits shrank from a peak of $3.65 million. Meanwhile, he still holds the position with a liquidation price set near $3253, indicating significant risk exposure.
$BTC The position was sharply reduced, dropping from about $40.26 million on September 19 to $15.02 million on the 20th, turning from unrealized profit to an unrealized loss of about $30,000, opened at $80,923. On the 21st, the $BTC long position further shrank, with an unrealized loss of about $470,000, and the position value remaining only in the several million dollar range.
HYPE is the only coin that was increased, with the position rising from $5.15 million to $12.44 million, but with an unrealized loss of about $160,000, opened at $92.64. On the 21st, HYPE's unrealized loss expanded to over $1.15 million, with 5x leveraged long positions under pressure, becoming one of the main sources of loss that day.
$PUMP On the 21st, a new 5x leveraged $PUMP long position was established, which was the largest unrealized loss position that day, with an unrealized loss exceeding $2.64 million, accounting for more than half of his total unrealized loss of $5.15 million. This position was not disclosed on the 19th-20th and is a short-term new position that quickly fell into deep losses.
ASTER On the 21st, a new 3x leveraged ASTER short position was established, with an unrealized loss of about $119,000 and a liquidation price of $3.032. This is a rare short position for him, but it also started off unfavorably.#加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元
In the early market, the bears first turned the tide
Bitcoin briefly stabilized around 86000 in the early morning, barely retraced, and directly pushed past the 87000 mark, reaching a new high near 87385. A 24-hour increase of over 7%, a single bullish candle named all the short positions pressing down on the market.
Ethereum was relatively slower, only pushing above 2800 with volume in the early morning, currently around 2802, with a daily increase of about 6%. The bulls' momentum is weaker than BTC's, but at least it held its ground.
The direct driver of this surge was a short squeeze. Nearly $940 million in total liquidations occurred in the past 24 hours, with BTC shorts alone contributing $458 million. Shorts were forced to buy back to close positions, and the buying pushed prices higher, which in turn liquidated more shorts—a classic scenario.
On the macro front, oil prices fell, U.S. Treasury yields declined, overall risk appetite warmed up, and tech stocks strengthened simultaneously. It's not just the crypto world getting excited; the outside market heated up the sentiment first.
Indicators have entered the overbought zone, with RSI surging above 72. Chasing highs in the early market doesn't look good risk-reward wise. If you missed it, you missed it; wait for a pullback, and don't jump in to catch the falling knife amid others' liquidations.
In short for the early market: bears are turning around, bulls are counting money, and you're asking, "Can I still get on board?" But there is one thing you must see clearly
DOGE is now around 0.10. You might think: "It broke through, can I chase it?"
First, look at the technicals.
DOGE's 4-hour RSI has surged to 83.51, severely overbought. The price is running close to the upper Bollinger Band, and although the MACD maintains a golden cross, with the RSI at this level, the probability of a short-term pullback is much higher than continued acceleration. Technical analysis clearly indicates: the price is likely to first retest the EMA50 support level (0.09 USD) before continuing to rise.
Now look at a detail most people overlook.
The Fear and Greed Index has reached 71, the "Greed Zone," but DOGE's funding rate is only +0.0100%—the long position crowding is not extreme.
What does this mean?
Leverage longs show almost no frenzy. No one is crazily adding leverage to chase DOGE longs. This rally is driven by a short squeeze, not by longs buying up.
A short squeeze has one characteristic: fast, fierce, but short-lived. Once shorts are cleared, the momentum disappears. To rise to 0.12, 0.15 next, what is needed is real spot buying support to take over. $DOGE $ETH $BTC #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 $SUI frequently appears in the L1 leading gainers list in sector statistics, with early session data showing nearly a 10% increase, and the price approaching the $1 psychological level. Move language, parallel execution, gaming, and consumer-grade applications are the tags repeatedly associated with it. In the past 24 hours, it hasn't had a single "destiny-changing" headline; rather, it's more of an L1 rotation: $NEAR, $AVAX, and SUI are all being swept up by capital.
For traders, $1 is not a technical oracle but an emotional switch. Once surpassed, a batch of algorithms and headline chasers will activate simultaneously; however, it continues to remain among the "story-rich mid-cap L1s." SUI is suitable as a high-elasticity satellite position, where position management is more important than conviction. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #SEC代币化股票创新豁免落地，UNI盘中涨超21% #OKX星球话题来啦 $BTC is bullish, shorts have just been liquidated: priced at 86,388 USD, up 5.65% in 24 hours, breaking above 85,000 for the first time in nearly 9 months. About 400 million USD worth of short positions were forcibly closed in 4 hours, with nearly 900 million USD liquidated throughout the day.
Turnover rate further illustrates the issue: $BTC turnover rate is only 3.52%, $ETH 7.83%, $SOL 9.7%. The biggest gain with the lowest turnover means the price is mainly pushed up by short covering on the contract side, while spot market follow-through has not yet arrived.
Money only flowed into Bitcoin: total market cap rose 2.46%, less than half of BTC’s increase, BTC dominance rose to 58.87%, $ETH only up 2.91%. Altcoins only showed resilience in meme coins, with $PEPE up 19.86% and turnover at 54.75%. CELR funding rate is -0.65%, indicating weakness remains unresolved in crowded short positions.
In the next 72 hours, 85,000 is the watershed. Holding above it means Bitcoin continues to lead and dominance continues to rise; falling back below 85,000 means this rally was a short-covering impulse and the trend turns bearish.Zcash big $ZEC is probably the most dramatic privacy coin in the past week. The price fluctuated between $1400–$1520, with the weekly chart reaching about $1590–$1600, and market capitalization discussions approaching $25 billion. It continued to rise in the past 24 hours, along with the story of trader Garrett Jin closing out a three-month ZEC short position at a huge loss. The privacy narrative, potential ETF attention, and the ZRC-20 token standard plan together have pulled $ZEC back from being a "forgotten old coin" onto the stage.
The other side of high volatility is overextension. Some analyses clearly state this is a "cooling down after a vertical surge," with key support seen at $1400–$1450. Regulatory risks for privacy coins never disappear just because the price has risen a lot. In the short term, it can continue to enjoy beta; in the medium term, it must answer whether the new token standards and institutional products can retain trading demand. Otherwise, this will be a very classic "narrative comeback + short-seller blood sacrifice." #ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元 #ZEC跻身前十，机构化进程提速 #ZEC再创新高，估值重估受关注 Two readings of Robinhood's August operational data
This is not breaking news today. Robinhood announced August data on September 10: nominal crypto trading volume rose 61% month-over-month to $17.5 billion but fell 38% year-over-year; the App segment was $7.4 billion, down 46% year-over-year. Event contract trading volume was 4.7 billion contracts, about 15 times year-over-year but down 23% month-over-month. [Robinhood Investor Relations Announcement]
What is more easily overlooked is that Robinhood Chain trading volume is not included in crypto trading volume. After placing traditional trading, event contracts, and on-chain products under the same entry point, users need to first confirm the trading object and statistical scope before discussing "activity." The announcement states that recent quarterly data are still preliminary. #AI #Web3 #MPC #PredictionMarketsETH 2774, surged to 2807 but failed, only buying on pullback to 2657
At posting time ETH: 2774.29 (24H +3.22%)
Conclusion:
Do not break 2657–2700, buy more. Stop loss at 2643, target 2807 → 2900.
Only look at 2900+ if 2807 is surpassed, otherwise just high-level consolidation.
If 2643 breaks, do not buy, wait for 2508–2358.
Market situation:
• From 2358 to 2807, a 19% increase, currently approaching previous highs at a high level
• 2807 is the 24H previous high; failure to reclaim = surge and then pullback digestion
• 7-day increase of 10.28%, short-term profit-taking is heavy, chasing longs is risky
• Volume supports upward movement, trend not broken, but only buy on pullbacks, do not chase highs
My actions:
• Spot: place limit buy orders at 2657–2700, do not chase market price at 2774
• Futures: buy 3x at 2680, exit if breaks 2643; reduce half at 2807 if not broken, clear at 2900
• If 2807 breaks out with volume, chase 2x; exit if falls back below 2700
• Trades not taken: chasing longs at 2774, bottom fishing on break of 2643, shorting without confirmation at 2807
If 2643 breaks, accept loss, no averaging down.

$ETH Is $CRV about to make a comeback? The veteran DeFi blue chip has been very active recently!
TVL has returned to 1.54 billion, weekly trading volume surged 91% to 1.1 billion, and crvUSD is quietly gaining momentum.📈
The most explosive catalyst: DAO fee sharing is proposed to jump sharply from 10% to 30%! veCRV holders' real earnings will triple, fundamentally changing the cash flow logic.
But don't rush to FOMO! Uniswap V4 is aggressively eating into stablecoin market share, threatening the core moat.⚠️
On-chain alert: a whale just dumped $7.33 million worth of CRV into OKX, selling pressure is not to be underestimated.
Current price is $0.37, holding above $0.35 is key for reversal. Can the old tree bloom anew? Watch the volume closely, don’t blindly catch the falling knife! #CRV #DeFiIs the ZEC short squeeze not over yet? A whale closed out 38,000 short positions with stop losses
On-chain tracking shows that Garrett Jin bought back all 38,000 ZEC short positions within about 90 minutes on September 21, at an average price of around 1459, incurring a loss of $35.44 million. His shorts were opened at 656, while ZEC surged from around 500 to 1600, a monthly increase of 178%, with shorts being continuously squeezed.
The key point is he still holds 202,000 ZEC spot, valued at over $300 million. The shorts seem more like partial hedging, and the unrealized gains on the spot holdings likely cover the losses. The buyback pressure once pushed the price up to 1530, with the covering contributing to the rally.
Current price is 1514-1535. Resistance lies between 1540-1600, and support is at 1470-1490.
Strategy: If you haven't entered yet, don't chase above 1530; wait for a pullback to 1470-1490 to stabilize before considering entry; if you already have a position, set stop loss below 1450, with a target still at 1600.
The whale has cleared all short positions; is the short squeeze over? $BTC $ETH $ZEC NEAR is almost doubling, the market is rushing to grab the next highway on the chain
$NEAR is up nearly +80% in a week, soaring from around $2.2 to $4.2–4.4, far outperforming the broader market during the same period.
Don't simply categorize it as "altcoin season is here." NEAR Intents' cumulative transaction volume has nearly reached $29.3 billion, with weekly transaction volume exceeding $1 billion; meanwhile, privacy perpetual contracts have launched, and confidential TVL has surpassed $70 million.
The market is now recalculating whether NEAR can evolve from an L1 into the infrastructure for cross-chain trading, privacy trading, and AI Agents. Once this calculation holds, the previous valuation framework for NEAR definitely needs to be revised.
Previously, I projected $5 → $6 → $7.5, and now confidently eyeing $9. This is no longer just drawing lines in the air—$5 is becoming the first real test level. After an 80% weekly rise, continuing upward requires new capital to take over, not just sentiment.
I'm not in a hurry to change my target yet; first, let's see if $5 can hold. If the price remains strong and Intents transaction volume and real fees grow in sync, then $6, $7.5, or even $9 will have the merit to be discussed further; if the data doesn't keep up, this rally could easily shift from a "re-pricing" to an "early exhaustion."Hyperliquid's $HYPE is still hovering near its highs, with reported prices between $91–96. It continues to hit new highs or approach them intraday, with market capitalization entering the $20 billion range for discussion. It represents the path of "on-chain perpetual exchanges turning fees and governance into tokens." In the past 24 hours, it has appeared on both the short liquidation list and the new high list, indicating that leverage is crowded on both longs and shorts.
The biggest fear for high-level assets is not the rise itself, but the crowded trading after the rise. The fundamentals of $HYPE to watch are volume, fees, open interest, and product iteration, not just a big bullish candlestick on the chart. Reports show that smart money addresses still hold long positions worth over hundreds of millions of dollars; such data can ignite sentiment but also become a contrarian indicator during pullbacks. For ordinary users: trading is possible, but don’t treat the ATH as a safety net. #加密总市值重返2.8万亿美元 #特朗普将会晤海湾六国，伊朗局势迎关键节点 #闪迪正式纳入标普100指数 I am your grandpa!
$ETH
Current price 2772.24, after surging to 2807.67 in one hour, it started to consolidate sideways, now fluctuating slightly back and forth, bulls and bears are tugging at the high level.
There are several possibilities right now.
First, high-level consolidation to shake out weak long positions, repeatedly grinding down the longs who can't hold, digesting the selling pressure above, then gathering strength to surge to new highs again, trapping those who shorted.
Second, funds that entered at low levels earlier get nervous after continuous rises, slowly taking profits in batches at the high level, selling pressure keeps coming out, gradually pulling the market down to start a retracement.
Third, just a brief pause during the upward move, a normal technical correction, after consolidation it will continue upward along the original trend.
I dare not blindly bet on one side now, although the overall market trend still looks bullish, the risk after continuous rallies is very real.
Many think you should just go all in at the high level, I disagree; the crazier the market, the more you need to control your hands. The principal is real money, no need to stubbornly bear risk at the top.
The one-hour MACD is about to converge, the battle between bulls and bears is about to decide, it depends on whether the 2701 support can hold.
