BTC long and short competition intensifies, waiting for the breakthrough moment
The Bitcoin market is caught in a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Although some short-term technical signals show signs of a rebound, the macroeconomic environment and market structure still convey a cautious bearish tone. Year-end liquidity tightening, a large-scale options expiration wave, combined with potential profit-taking and stop-loss impacts, have collectively increased market uncertainty. The market focus is on the pace of interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan and expectations for a policy shift by the Federal Reserve, along with the movements of institutional funds, which together shape the current oscillating consolidation pattern.
Some analysts point out that the current rebound lacks sufficient volume and momentum support for a sustained upward move, which may be difficult to maintain. The market may need to undergo a deeper correction to fully exchange hands and release risks, in order to build enough momentum for the next stage of upward movement. Especially for short-term investors who entered at high levels, the selling risks brought by year-end funding pressure should not be underestimated.
In this “giant showdown” game, maintaining rationality is particularly crucial. It is recommended to hold BTC with a core asset allocation approach, avoiding emotional chasing and panic selling. Patience is needed to wait for a clear trend, strictly control positions, and strengthen risk management, in order to hold the ground during volatility and welcome the true start of the next round of market movement. $BTC
