Recent market volatility has been intense; is the 'waterfall drop' of altcoins a sign that the bear market is here?

Recently, the market has fluctuated wildly, and many brothers trading spot have asked me: 'Brother Jie, is this the arrival of the bear market? Should we run away now?'

Actually, it’s not that pessimistic. This wave of market activity is mainly influenced by international geopolitical issues and short-term sentiment—it’s not a trend reversal, but rather a shakeout.

📉 Market volatility ≠ Bear market arrival

Recently, when the main index falls, altcoins follow with a 'waterfall wash,' leading to a large number of liquidations in contracts. But you should know that big funds are quietly accumulating behind the scenes.

From the ETF data:

ETH has been continuously increased by institutions, with multiple large whales buying in the 2300-2900 range;

US funds are aggressively bottom-fishing, while retail investors panic and cut losses, the big players are silently buying.

🌍 War news has become a 'shakeout tool'

Yesterday’s bad news—US support for Israel to strike Iran’s capital—directly caused ETH to drop below 2480, hitting the strong weekly support level of 2450, but then quickly rebounded, recovering to 2500.

What does this indicate?

The market has a consensus on this position, and there are funds protecting the market.

🏦 Tonight at 2 AM, the Federal Reserve meeting is crucial

Although it’s highly likely that interest rates will remain unchanged, the key point is whether Powell’s speech is more 'dovish' or 'hawkish.'

From the current economic situation in the US, it’s more likely to release a dovish signal, which would be favorable for the market.

✅ Intraday trading advice: Wait for a pullback opportunity to enter

You can take a small position to speculate on a short position before the US stock market opens, finding rhythm in the volatility;

After the Federal Reserve meeting in the early morning, if market sentiment stabilizes, the 2450-2500 range remains a very ideal buy zone; the overall trend still favors the bulls, the bull market is still on, don’t panic.
