Today's monitoring captured a rare signal: BTC and ETH market makers are acting in sync, planning to create a long-short chaos in the market.🐳
This kind of consistent operation usually indicates that the market will enter a short-term disordered fluctuation phase, aimed at washing out leveraged positions and harvesting both long and short positions.
- BTC key levels:
Resistance level: $116,500 (Yesterday's high)
Support level: $113,000 (Long-short watershed)
- ETH key levels:
Resistance level: $4,650 (Weekly resistance)
Support level: $4,400 (On-chain large liquidation intensive area)
💥In-depth interpretation: Why did the market makers choose "chaotic mode"?
Cleaning up high-leverage positions: Recently, the total contract positions across the network reached a new high for the year, with over 44 billion USD in open contracts becoming targets for big players. By triggering liquidations, retail funds can be quickly harvested (over the past 24 hours, total liquidations reached 409 million USD, with long positions accounting for over 90%).
Gaining momentum for directional breakout: Big players often collect chips through consolidation before significant market events. Currently, BTC is fluctuating in the 115,000-116,000 range, and ETH is consolidating in the 4,500-4,600 range; a breakout needs to await external catalysts (such as the Federal Reserve meeting).
Using market sentiment divergence: The long-short position ratio remains high, indicating that retail investors are overly optimistic, making it highly probable for big players to profit from reverse operations.
💥Operation strategy: Survival guide in extreme markets
Immediate action: Close all leveraged positions to avoid being caught in a double kill - Reduce spot positions to below 50% and keep cash for opportunities - Set price alerts: Notify when BTC breaks above 116,500 or drops below 113,000
Watching signal: Wait for confirmation of direction through a breakout on the 4-hour level - Pay attention to the Federal Reserve's September meeting results (Thursday morning Beijing time) - Monitor whale inflow data from exchanges (sudden large transfers usually indicate selling pressure)
3. Strictly prohibited: Averaging down against the trend - Relying on short-term technical indicators (which can fail in a volatile market) - Trusting calls for 'bottom fishing' or 'top escaping'
💥Historical Reference: Trends after the mixed market
Reviewing the similar market in July 2025 (ETH's struggle before breaking 3100 USD):
Consolidation lasts 3-5 days on average, with volatility increasing to twice the normal level
After a breakout, the directional market typically exceeds 15% (ETH surged from 3100 to 3500 at that time)
Liquidation volume concentrates at the end of the consolidation, rapidly decreasing after direction is clear
💥Advice for retail investors:
Cognitive upgrade: Market manipulation by big players is the norm; while short-term prices can be manipulated, long-term trends are still determined by fundamentals.
Tool empowerment: It's recommended to use on-chain data tools (such as whale monitoring and exchange flow analysis) to assist in judgment, avoiding pure technical analysis failures.
Mentality management: In the current stage, not operating is the best operation; patiently wait for volatility to converge and direction to be chosen.
Risk warning: The above analysis is based on public data and historical patterns and does not constitute investment advice. The market is risky, and decisions must be made cautiously.
