On February 18, 2025, a day that is both ordinary and special, the cryptocurrency market was like a fierce battlefield between bulls and bears. Let's first look at Bitcoin, which is the 'big brother' of the cryptocurrency world; over the past month, Bitcoin and Ethereum's capital inflow has decreased by more than 30%. When this data came out, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the market. But we, as seasoned players in the crypto space, know that this is just like a roller coaster—fluctuations are completely normal.

From the K-line chart, Bitcoin's recent movements resemble a mischievous child bouncing up and down. At one moment, it rises to make you feel like a bull market is coming, preparing for a big move; at another moment, it falls to make you question your life choices, starting to reflect whether you entered the wrong industry. Currently, Bitcoin's price hovers around [X] dollars, where both bulls and bears are fiercely competing, neither willing to back down. Bulls think, 'I must push upward, break through the resistance level, and show everyone the power of the bull market'; while bears chuckle, thinking, 'Want to go up? Not so easy, I need to push you down to let you know my strength.'

Looking at Ethereum, which is second only to Bitcoin, it hasn't been idle either. Recently, its performance has been quite mixed, sharing both the ups and downs with Bitcoin. However, Ethereum has its own agenda; it has been racing down the path of technological upgrades. This time, the urgent Ethereum Geth patch fixes the Merge loopholes, preventing validators from suffering economic losses, which acts like a booster shot for Ethereum's development, increasing expectations for its future.

Besides Bitcoin and Ethereum, other mainstream coins have their own stories. Some coins have seen a slight rise due to hot news, bringing a little joy to their holders; while others have experienced price drops due to various negative rumors, leaving their holders in tears. The cryptocurrency space is like a grand stage, with different plots unfolding every day.
