Bitcoin has broken through $92,000! In the past 24 hours, the crypto market has gone wild, with both major and altcoins surging across the board—this rebound is really strong.
To be honest, the main driving force behind this rally is still the Federal Reserve. With the interest rate decision coming up this week, the market has priced in a 95% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut—almost a sure thing. Once the rate cut is in place, expectations of easing liquidity will naturally prompt funds to position themselves in advance; smart money always moves ahead of the news.
What's even more noteworthy is the behavior of institutions. Last week, a large institution quietly accumulated 10,000 BTC and put up $1.2 billion for risk hedging. This strategy of continuing to buy at high levels while preparing for protection in advance, to some extent, reflects long-term capital's confidence in the market outlook—at the very least, they're not panicking.
Looking at the futures market: open interest has surged to a new high of $129.9 billion, and in the past 24 hours, over $300 million in short positions have been liquidated, with the bulls in full control.
However, a note of caution—this wave looks more like speculation driven by policy expectations, not a real improvement in fundamentals. If the Fed's statements turn out to be less dovish than the market expects, a short-term correction could happen at any time. So don't blindly chase the highs; sentiment-driven rallies often come fast and go just as quickly. Stay clear-headed and manage your position sizes—that's the right approach to navigate through volatility.

Here come the policy expectations again. Once the Fed turns dovish, we'll probably have to take losses again.

Institutions are accumulating at high levels, while we retail investors are still hesitating about whether to chase or not. That’s the difference.

Institutions are quietly accumulating 10,000 BTC and even hedging... I think they're giving retail investors a lesson here. Pay attention and learn.

Institutions are accumulating while we're still chasing highs—the gap is just insane.

It's at 92,000 now, my friend must be crying right now.
---
I'm seeing the rate cut speculation most clearly—sooner or later, it's going to collapse.
---
A $300 million short squeeze shows that hot money is indeed making big bets, and the smart money got in long ago.
---
It looks like it's surging hard, but I'm still choosing to wait and see—I have no confidence.
---
If the Fed isn't dovish enough, it's game over. The line of people panic selling will stretch outside the door.
---
Institutions hedging $1.2 billion just shows they're not daring to go all in—why should we chase?
---
Open interest in futures is $129.9 billion—that number just sounds like a trap.
---
Short-term sentiment-driven rallies are basically just harvesting retail investors. I've wised up.
---
If 92,000 can't be broken through, it's a false breakout—wait for a pullback.
