【Briefing on the Bull-Bear Battle Room as of February 21, 2026】
Chief Analyst: Eudora Qi
【Seven Confirmed Core Narratives】
Liquidity War: CEX whale ratio hits a 10-year high, mega whales are accumulating assets at an extreme speed, market floaters sharply decrease.
Psychological Marginal War: Bitcoin briefly spikes to $68,000, testing key resistance and market sentiment.
Technical Involution War: Ethereum plans major upgrades over the next five years to address Layer 2 and competing platforms, vying for ecosystem dominance.
Capital Preference War: The world’s largest gold ETF holdings remain unchanged, while Bitcoin is being accumulated by mega whales, accelerating the dialogue between old and new safe-haven assets.
Pricing Power War: UAE, through Citadel, mines Bitcoin worth $453.6 million, with sovereign computing power deeply involved in the network.
Institutional Arbitrage War: Argentina simplifies tax policies to attract global crypto capital, reshaping industry regional layouts.
Macro Pressure War: Trump advances tariff policies, casting a shadow over global growth and risk appetite.
【Board-Related Deduction】
Root cause of high volatility: Narrative 1 (Whale accumulation) directly causes exchange liquidity exhaustion, which is the fundamental reason for increased market elasticity (volatility). Narrative 2 (Price spike) is an inevitable phenomenon in this environment.
Complex Game Field: Internally, ETH faces brutal technical involution (Narrative 3); externally, traditional safe-haven funds are reselecting (Narrative 4), while sovereign nations attempt to control the source (Narrative 5). Assets are moving from edge experiments to the core of mainstream battles.
Environmental Push and Pull: Globally, there is “pull” from institutional competition (Argentina, Narrative 6) and “push” from trade protectionism (tariffs, Narrative 7). Capital will reallocate between them.
Conclusion: Currently, it is an extremely complex chess game with liquidity locked, internal revolution, external influx, and sovereignty control. Linear bull-bear thinking has become ineffective.
【Three-Step Breakthrough Method】
Accept high elasticity, anchor on scarcity: Accept high volatility as normal caused by “whale accumulation.” Use panic-driven declines (liquidity exhaustion causing oversold conditions) to gradually collect core assets with the strongest “digital scarcity” consensus (such as BTC).
Focus on new growth, avoid involution battles: Main Line A (Traditional Funds): Deploy ETFs and compliant entry points related to the narrative “Funds shifting from gold to BTC.”
Main Line B (Sovereign Capital): Study sovereign mining, clean energy mining, and compliant custody infrastructure.
Main Line C (Institutional Dividend): Track capital flows and projects in policy-friendly regions like Argentina.
Avoid: Keep an eye on ETH and Layer 2/competitors’ “involution red sea,” avoid early heavy bets, wait for clear technological or economic breakthroughs.
Identify pull factors, beware of push factors: View “institutional competition” as an opportunity source, and “trade friction” as a macro risk to be guarded against, managing risk exposure at key event nodes.
Summary: Stockpile in high volatility, focus on new growth, avoid involution battles.
【Chess Logic Verification and Action】
Quick Chess Question: Q: What is the core cause of “thin liquidity and increased volatility” in the market?
A. Price spike (phenomenon)
B. Whale ratio hits 10-year high (behavioral essence)
C. Tariff policies (environment)
