Today’s market scene is less of a trend day and more of a day where bulls and bears are "fighting each other." The bearish signals are clear, but the actions are not a one-sided plunge; instead, they are creating a chaotic battle between bulls and bears—this strategy is specifically designed to harvest the emotions of chasing gains and selling off.
Looking at the specific logic of BTC’s movement: on the signal level, the big players’ direction points to a bearish trend, but the execution method is to create volatility rather than directly crashing the price. From another perspective, it’s a rhythm of "market making + counterparty absorption"—the price will be pulled back and forth, using fluctuations to cleanse leveraged emotions. The prudent approach is to stay out of the market or refrain from entering for now.
Whale movements are even more interesting. Over the past few days, long positions have been steadily increasing, but at high levels, they start to consolidate or even slightly decline. This structure usually hints at two possibilities: one, whales maintain their positions but stop accelerating, letting the market digest the volatility; two, the surface looks bullish, but in reality, they are using hedging or turnover to amplify volatility and guide retail investors to provide liquidity.
From the perspective of M2 liquidity, the rhythm shows a pattern of "rising → pulling back → stabilizing and rebounding," indicating that liquidity marginally recovers but has not yet entered a favorable phase. This supports the idea of oscillation and tug-of-war rather than a one-way rapid surge or decline.
Based on these observations, a few key points to remember: First, don’t bet on direction to win; instead, bet on structure and certainty—only confirm breakouts at key levels or confirm pullbacks after false breakouts. Better to do less than to be the first to catch the falling knife. Second, the logic of holding a core position remains unchanged, but the pace of adding positions should be delayed; today, it’s better to add gradually on a rally.

It's the same old script of "volatility washing + liquidity restoration," where the big players treat retail investors as cash machines.

Another day of tug-of-war, retail investors' bloodbath index hits the max
The big players' job is to clear leverage, don't overthink it
Holding cash is really refreshing

Still pulling back, a typical market maker rhythm.
Still need to wait for a second confirmation, don't be the bag holder.
Is the whale sideways? Then keep your positions empty.
The volatility is high, but the direction is unclear.
Adding positions on a surge? Don't even think about it, let's forget it today.
This rhythm looks like it's clearing leverage, retail investors are about to lose money again.
Liquidity hasn't stabilized yet, what's the rush?
Better to do less than to hit a mine, this logic is correct.

Once again, it's the same old trick of harvesting emotions. Retail investors should wake up.
Market makers are really clever; volatility is their money-printing machine.
Watching from the sidelines, don't be the bag-holder—that's really true.
Whales are good at hedging; retail investors are still chasing the rally.
Structure is more valuable than direction, and that's true.
Don't add positions; just watch and wait. This wave is indeed fierce.
Is the sideways high level? I knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Liquidity is still recovering; don't rush to enter and become the sacrificial lamb.

Playing the volatility harvest again? I've seen through it long ago. Don't follow the trend and buy in.
