'When the whale makes a move, the retail investors tremble! The 'Haidilao' in the early hours was not about the coins, but about our retail investors' shattered confidence!'

Crow Brother's simple interpretation:

1. This wave of correction really hurts!

Bitcoin: Watching it fall from nearly $110,000 to just over $100,000 is like riding a roller coaster, with seven consecutive four-hour candles without a breath!

Ethereum: Even worse! Dropped from $2,800 all the way down to just over $2,400, nine consecutive days of decline without recognition!

Liquidations? Wow, 114 small targets ($1.14 billion) liquidated in one day! 90% of them were brothers going long, leveraging up like crazy, only to get wiped out all at once; it made my back teeth ache!

Why is it dropping so fiercely?

The Middle East is at it again! Israel went to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, and wow, the global market was directly scared! Oil prices skyrocketed, US stock futures plummeted; can our crypto circle, this 'high-risk little sweetie', have anything good?

This old guy at the Fed is up to no good! He absolutely refuses to lower interest rates; it doesn't matter how much the wise guys shout for a 200-point cut! The money bag is tightly shut, the faucet is turned off, and the market is starving!

It's all the fault of leverage! The pile of open contracts on Ethereum has reached a historical high of $20 billion! This is not the market; it's dancing on a barrel of explosives! A slight tremor, and it could blow up everywhere!

2. Who is secretly 'Haidilao' in the early hours? (Here comes the focus!)
I, Crow Brother, just love watching these 'smart money'; whenever they move, there are bound to be surprises!

Mysterious big player (affiliated with ConsenSys): This guy is tough! In the past two weeks, he silently gobbled up over 160,000 ETH ($420 million)! Yesterday morning, during the crash, he didn't even blink and added another 2,825 ETH! This operation clearly shows he is determined to see it through, buying more as it drops!

God of swing trading (certain institution's address): This guy is heavyweight! In six hours, he threw in $127 million USDC, scooping up 48,800 ETH at an average price of around $2,600! The key point is, in his last two ETH swings, he made over $30 million! With such a record, I have to call him 'Big Brother'! And now he's back in action; is the signal strong enough?

ETF Dads are also busy: Bitcoin ETFs pumped in 'money' for four consecutive days (+$86.3 million), and Ethereum ETFs are even more exaggerated, with a net inflow for 19 consecutive days (+$112 million)! These institutional old foxes slyly pick up bargains when the market drops!

Crow Brother's Commentary: Do you see it? Real money is moving! Whales and institutions are not fools; they dare to buy heavily at this position and time (still in the early hours!) which indicates what? It shows they think this pit is worth it! This price is attractive! These people are very shrewd, when they act, it often means the bottom is not far away!

3. What use is this wave of 'Haidilao' for our market? (Speak human language!)

Short-term tourniquet! Whales are throwing down real money, especially around $2,450 Ethereum, where there is obviously someone supporting the price; it's like giving the market a shot of adrenaline. $100,000 Bitcoin has become a new psychological barrier; if things calm down in the Middle East, a rebound could come at any time!

Stay calm and don't panic! The market fear index has pulled back from the edge of being scary to neutral (54). When whales move, many retail investors hesitate to cut their losses, thinking, 'If the big shots are buying, why should I panic?' Confidence is more valuable than gold!

BUT! Hidden dangers still exist! (Crow Brother writes on the board)

Altcoins? It's a tragic sight! The altcoin market looks like a ghost town now, with trading volumes as thin as paper! When good news comes out, no one picks it up; new coins go live and drop ominously, liquidity is quickly drying up! Brothers playing with altcoins, be careful not to get buried!

Ethereum seems a bit hollow! This wave of rising is largely driven by leverage, and the real demand for spot trading cannot match that of the Bitcoin big brother. So even if it rebounds, can Ethereum hold on? I, Crow Brother, put a question mark on that!

4. How do we see the market going forward? Crow Brother speaks from the heart!

Looking short-term at two things:

Will that mess in the Middle East continue? If Iran truly escalates retaliation, it wouldn't be surprising for Bitcoin to test $100,000 again or even break below.

Will the Fed lower interest rates in September? The market currently bets on a 70% chance of a cut. As long as this old guy dares to hint at easing, we in the crypto circle will immediately show you a 'sprouting bamboo'!

Don't be afraid in the medium term! The big trend is still there!

Bitcoin ETF scale is already at $60 billion! MicroStrategy alone is up $23 billion! The trend of large institutions and companies treating Bitcoin as 'digital gold' has not changed!

Technology is also advancing! Bitcoin's layer two Lightning Network trading volume surged 400% in one quarter! Ethereum is about to have a Pectra upgrade to solve the long-standing issue of gas fees. These are all solid positive foundations!

Crow Brother's real trading strategy:

Bitcoin: Play the 'Pyramid'! Tentatively build positions at $100,000, a little above $98,000, and more aggressively at $95,000! The further it drops, the more you should dare to pick up cheap! Afraid it's unstable? Buy some put options for insurance!

Ethereum: Keep an eye on the cost line of the big whales (around $2,500), if it stabilizes, we can consider it. The key resistance level is $2,793! If it can break through, the sky is the limit (like $4,000)! But if it keeps dragging and can't rise, be cautious!

'Is the whale's midnight bottom-fishing 'Haidilao' a 'golden pit' or a 'mass grave'? Who can sway the fate of our crypto circle, the Middle East powder keg or the old foxes at the Fed? Crow Brother's real bullets are loaded; should we drink soup with the whales or wait for a deeper pit? Friends, let's heat up the comment section!

Crow Brother's final ramble:
The actions of the big shots are important signals, but they are not a panacea! The market is still dancing under the dual shadows of 'policy' and 'conflict'. The good news is, fear has been significantly suppressed by this wave of whale operations, and the consensus around $100,000 Bitcoin is getting stronger. The bad news is, leverage has not been fully cleared (especially Ethereum), and if things escalate in the Middle East, we could still be in for a shock!
But I, Crow Brother, remain optimistic in the medium to long term! Institutions are really bringing in real money, and compliance (like the SEC softening its stance on self-custody) is a trend that cannot be reversed. Bitcoin could surge to $150,000-$180,000 by the end of the year, and Ethereum may touch $4,000? I think there's a chance! The key is that we need to survive until then!

Brothers, the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish! Stay calm, keep an eye on the signals, and we will see the truth in the comment section!
