The halving rally lasted for more than half a year, and what happened? It dropped 30% straight from the high, and now it’s stuck around $90,000, with the price swinging back and forth. Honestly, it’s normal to feel anxious watching this kind of movement.
But if you think about it calmly, this correction isn’t actually that dramatic. The market sentiment just took a heavy hit and is still in the recovery phase, barely getting back on its feet—how can you expect it to immediately pick a direction?
This is the most nerve-wracking time: prices are jumping up and down, you’re afraid of buying the top if you chase, but also scared of catching a falling knife if you try to bottom fish. But from a few perspectives, it’s not entirely without logic.
Capital always finds a way. If Bitcoin really stabilizes, money will naturally flow elsewhere. Just look at Ethereum’s L2 projects—their total value locked has piled up to $80 billion, and the DeFi and AI sectors are clearly gearing up for something big. Just keep an eye on whichever part of the chain starts heating up next.
On the macro side, the probability of the Fed cutting rates in December is already close to 90%, which is obviously good news for risk assets. As long as inflation doesn’t suddenly spike, the market will likely remain bullish; but if there’s a sudden policy shift, there will definitely be some short-term volatility.
Technically, it’s simple: whether there’s a breakout with volume is key. If it breaks out, sentiment will pick up immediately; if not, the price will have to pull back and find support. Watch the changes in large holders’ positions and trading volume closely these days.
Right now, market sentiment is indeed tense—panic hasn’t fully subsided. But often, this is exactly when low-entry opportunities appear. Of course, the risks are still there: regulatory policy or protocol security issues—either one could be a major setback.

No matter how stuck the market is, you still have to keep an eye on it. That Fed move in December was a real watershed moment, and now it’s all about who’s steady enough to catch the bottom.
I’ve had enough of catching falling knives. Better to wait for a breakout with volume.
There’s $80 billion locked up over on L2. If there’s a rotation, they’ll be the first to pump.
It’s normal to feel anxious, but greed kills—position management is key.
The price keeps wrestling with $90,000. Whales are testing the bottom line, don’t get rekt.
This kind of market really tests your mindset. You’re scared of missing out when it pumps, scared of going broke when it dumps. Might as well just watch how DeFi and AI perform.
That black swan of regulation is still circling overhead—better stay cautious.

This area around $90,000 is being repeatedly tested—in simple terms, it's probing the bottom, so don't get too nervous.
The 90% probability of a Fed rate cut in December is basically confirmed, so risk assets do have hope. The key is whether we can break through.
The L2 and AI sectors are indeed brewing; there's a reason why the locked-in volume is so high.
The toughest period is right now: you can't chase the highs, and you don't dare to buy the dips. Just wait for a breakout with volume.
You must closely monitor changes in large holders' positions—the trading volume in these couple of days will determine the direction.

$90,000 is being repeatedly tugged back and forth. To put it simply, no one dares to place a bet. Let's wait for the policies to be implemented.
