When the price is at a peak, you can still sell and someone will buy – so who are the buyers?
There are 5 main groups of people/events that could be 'buyers at the peak': 1. FOMO investors (retail) They are those who don't want to miss out on the price increase. When they see strong price increases, good news, and the community cheering → they jump in to buy. They do not perform technical analysis or understand market cycles. 🧠 Example: a coin rises 300% in one week → FOMO buyers rush in at the peak.
You are very naive, exchanges do not earn funding fees. Transaction fees are just enough to cover operational costs, eating liquidity brings in billions. Long shots are trading against the exchange, so the exchange mainly aims to eat liquidity. ChatGPT has said: You are touching on one of the most contentious issues in the crypto market – and I understand why you are upset. But to answer fairly, I will analyze it fully, not defending the exchange, nor hiding the truth:

Just finished writing the article about Futures, and 2 hours later, James Wynn entered a trade. Again, he Longed BTC right at the peak. If BTC drops to $104,580, this Long position will be liquidated. $BTC

Thus, the intent of MM is quite clear. 110,300 is breaking early. Currently distributing and sweeping shorts. If altcoins can be traded, remember to take profits. They are manipulating prices and sweeping shorts, so it's very uncertain, guys. So check liquidity before wanting to short. Any areas with high volatility might get picked off first. To short, you need to place an order slightly higher than that area to test small volume first.
this time MM is very hard to play, the ups and downs are very subtle and difficult to predict, afraid to dare to enter.

The BTC range is currently very volatile. Significant fluctuations are imminent. The strong movement holding steady in the shallow correction zone of 106,676 is a very strong reaction. If you haven't entered the market yet, continue to observe. It is not advisable to chase after BTC. The CME gap in the 90-91 range still exists. There is a significant risk between a further 10% increase but a 30% drop, so I think it's better to wait. Currently, we are only testing the support in the shallow correction zone. The average correction level in the near future will certainly be seen. (103-104.) BTC range: 96,700-100,658-103,970-(105,895-108,234)-113,300-115,800
how are the percentage numbers 23.6; 38.2; 50 ... calculated?

First, it is necessary to determine the range of the wave. If we consider 111,959 as the peak, then this pullback process with the most recent low around 90,000 translates the retracement level of BTC as follows. Length of the wave: 111,959-90,000=21,959 -23.6%: 111,959-(21,959 x 0.236)= 106,776 shallow correction level -38.2%: =103,571. Strong support level to monitor, usually seen when a long-term upward trend corrects. -50%: =100,980. Average level -61.8%: =98,388 -78.6%: =94,700 very deep retracement level, dropping below this may signal a major correction.
btc keeps dropping a little then gets pushed back up and stands still, holding the price to escape or accumulating to pump, right?

$BTC appears in a wonderful tectonic area, what are the sufficient conditions in the upcoming period?? After continuously experiencing unsuccessful attempts from May 12 to May 16, 2025, it seemed that the organization would experience a strong distribution phase in the price range of 100 - 105k. However, the organization currently shows signs of starting to accumulate again in the price range of 101k - 103k at this stage. This is reflected in the chart by the continuous decrease in the selling volume of the organization from May 12 to today (May 18, 2025). The significance of this gradual decrease in volume has two meanings: the first is that the organization has begun to stop selling BTC at higher price levels to prepare for other organizations to see that if excellent macro conditions arise soon, this will be the premise for the upcoming price push. The second point is that the organization is setting up a phase of disillusionment for retail investors who do not commit to staying long-term in this market; they will see that when they buy in, the price does not increase, and when they sell out, the price does not decrease, leading to a disillusioned mentality, thus abandoning the market and selling BTC. This is indeed a great time for the organization to buy in at the current stage. And the process of decreasing selling volume by the organization also repeats similarly to the phases of April 16, 2025 - April 20, 2025, or April 30, 2025 - May 6, 2025. After these periods, the final condition for a major uptrend to occur is that the organization continuously invests money over many days to push the price of BTC through the continuous appearance of successful attempts similar to the sessions of April 21, 2025, April 22, 2025, or May 7, 2025, May 8, 2025. Therefore, in the upcoming period, we will wait.
At this time, organizations are on break for Tet, only the automatic killlongsot floor is making money, so the margin is narrow. If there is mutual agreement, there will be a pump release.

$BTC continues to see consensus with top coins, the process of shedding individual investors is always lurking! As we have analyzed in previous articles, BTC is primarily in the accumulation phase by institutions, without significant large capital from institutions actively participating in the price push of BTC. During this stage, large capital flows will be less active, mainly accumulating quietly to prepare for pushing BTC's price in the upcoming phase, which according to WICKOFF is the phase B of BTC (the accumulation process). At the same time, it's not just BTC that is quietly accumulating; other top coins like ETH, SOL, and BNB are also starting to accumulate based on the fluctuations of BTC during the accumulation process. However, each team behind each top coin will have a different way of accumulating, as shown in the charts; for example, BNB's accumulation process is not being sold off to lower price zones like SOL and ETH. The accumulation process of ETH and SOL has some differences in terms of patterns because the supply and demand of each coin are different, but looking at the overall picture, they are still in phase B of accumulation according to WICKOFF. Doge also has a similar accumulation process to ETH and SOL, but when looking at specific charts, we will see that each top coin has its own unique pattern, which can confuse us during the analysis, but ultimately they are all in the accumulation process. Because large capital has not truly participated in pushing the prices of BTC and other top coins in the market, the upcoming market phase will lack demand force, causing prices to only move sideways or worse, be distributed during the ranging process. So, what scenario do you think will happen in the upcoming phase???
Funding fees are very high, low profit and long-term order holding is not enough to pay negative funding fees. But sometimes the positive funding fees paid are more than the interest.

binance stole my money, I have 602usd, I just won 46usd, why didn't it give me money but deducted more?!
indeed there is an agreement among the organizations, after discussing to push the price up then discussing to bring it down: the ETF fund locked in profits with nearly 700 million USD for the Tet holiday, the killlon exchange

$BTC how to create a bottom when falling out of the accumulation zone! Currently, many people in the market are confused with their accounts burning brightly. However, don't worry too much because the process of institutional investors shedding is always very fierce to start a new cycle, and there are only 2 ways for us to leave: creating a panic mentality (accounts going negative quickly) and creating an extremely discouraged mentality (when holding a significant loss while the account is in the red for a long time). And we are at the first stage of the process of shedding individual investors from institutions, which is creating an extremely fearful mentality in the market as the price of BTC has dropped by 15% (from 107k down to 92k) in just 2 days. The next stage of this process is to create a discouraged mentality among institutions by allowing BTC to move in the range of 96k - 97k for a similar duration as the falling cycles out of the accumulation zone at the second falling phase in stages like January 24, 2024, June 11, 2023, March 10, 2024. At these second falling phases, we may witness another fierce drop from institutions, falling into a third drop, but this case is less likely to occur if and only if the top coins are simultaneously distributed; however, at the moment, top coins like BNB and XRP are still in a tightly held accumulation zone. Therefore, on Saturday, this Sunday, the market is highly likely to remain stable and create a tight support zone around 96-97.8k to create a discouraged mentality for the small retail investors, and that is the crucial moment for us to observe whether the money flow can come back to enter a new cycle or not! #BTCNextMove
$ATM Are these fantokens safe to hold for a long time, or should one just trade them? If trading for a short time, what is an appropriate duration for each cycle to minimize risk? Are these tokens easily manipulated like meme coins?

$BTC appears supermodel does the historical bull run pattern repeat??? Currently, many people are buying BTC because BTC is in an uptrend and the price level of 95k is much lower than the peak level of 99k, combined with BTC moving in a consolidation zone when the price approaches the support level of 95k and then rises back to the resistance zone of 98-99k from the period of November 15, 2024, until now. However, many people are currently doubting themselves when buying BTC at the support level for quite a long time, but the profit is not significant, combined with the continuous fluctuations causing many to feel very discouraged and drop out at the current stage. But looking back at previous cycles around October 28, 2024, or May 2, 2024, we are at a wonderful price range which is the supply-demand testing zone (test in phase C) with an upward testing pattern (demand is overwhelming supply, causing when the price drops near the support zone, demand immediately steps in to support the price, causing it to rebound) similar to the two points mentioned above. Therefore, there is a high possibility that tonight a breakout will occur from the 96.7k zone after forming an upward consolidation pattern (demand is overwhelming supply - causing the price to tend to breakout upwards). However, one thing is certain: nothing is certain in this market, so when betting on BTC for an upward breakout, one must always remember to set a stop-loss for insurance; the above scenario does not always happen, and it is important to remember that it is only a high possibility! As for those holding assets, hold steady; however, if BTC shows a test point at the 96.7k zone and fails similarly to the session at 7 AM on December 2, 2024, there is a high possibility that BTC will drop to the price level of 93k to start the process of shaking off individual investors. In that case, those holding assets should pay attention ...#2024WithBinance
