Bitcoin's fundamentals are strong; don't be fooled by short-term fluctuations.

2025-12-27 13:20:10

【CryptoWorld】Bitcoin has fallen nearly 10% this year, but the co-founder of this company doesn’t think the fundamentals are problematic. On the contrary, he believes the current fundamentals are the strongest in history. How so? Large-scale institutional investors entering the market and the successive launch of spot ETFs are clear evidence.

Interestingly, about 85% of Bitcoin in the market is still held by early adopters, whose identities are unknown and movements unpredictable. But this is not the main reason for short-term price fluctuations. What truly stirs the price? Leveraged derivatives and trader sentiment. A group of people using leverage to manipulate the futures market has a much greater impact than spot demand.

So why is the price still falling? Don’t blame the fundamentals. The real culprit is global liquidity. When money is tight, the entire market shrinks. This is a macroeconomic issue, not a problem with Bitcoin itself.

Even more interesting is a rumor: several major US banks may start directly buying Bitcoin and offering custody services as early as the first half of next year, or even issuing Bitcoin-backed loans. Once this happens, the price could stabilize in the range of $143,000 to $170,000. The situation will be completely different then.

Leverage traders are causing trouble again, tapping their legs while watching futures K-line charts late at night. Their emotional fluctuations are much more important than fundamentals.

nah the real alpha play here is watching the narrative cascade before it hits retail. 85% held by anons? that's literally the perfect setup for controlled dumps disguised as "macro headwinds" lol

Leverage traders are having fun, but the fundamentals are quietly improving, which is unbelievable. Retail investors are scared away, institutions are quietly entering. Liquidity crunch is the real culprit, no wonder Bitcoin 85% of the coins are lying in the hands of big players, and we traders have lost our shirts in futures trading. I believe in strong fundamentals, but this price movement is really damn deceptive. If it weren't for these leverage maniacs, Bitcoin would have taken off long ago. When macro conditions tighten, everything shrinks along with it, and Bitcoin gets caught in the crossfire.

Leverage traders are messing around every day; no matter how strong the fundamentals are, it's useless.

Is the fundamental strength the strongest? Then why is it still falling? It shows that the money of the retail investors is still enough to be exploited. --- Institutional entry and ETF launch are indeed positive signals, but the real factor that determines the price is the sentiment of those leveraged traders. In simple terms, it's a gamble. --- Is global liquidity tightening the main culprit? Then when will it ease? Are we just waiting to die? --- 85% of the coins are in the hands of mice. Where does this data come from? Who compiled it? --- Instead of looking at the fundamentals, it's better to watch for the moments when leverage causes liquidations—that's the real turning point. --- Are major US banks planning actions in the second half of the year? More of these rumors again—stop joking. --- Are people buying now because they truly believe in the fundamentals or just betting on a macro reversal? That's the key. --- Liquidity tightening is one thing, but it’s the traders smashing the market that’s really dangerous. One liquidation can cause a $500 drop. --- Institutional entry has been going on for so long, yet the price is still falling. This suggests they bought at higher prices than now, which is a bit awkward. --- Are derivatives with leverage more influential than spot? That’s probably why the spot ETF hasn't gained traction after its launch.
