The question of whether Bitcoin is a risk asset or a safe-haven asset has been discussed many times, and I will mention it one more time.
In the eyes of different people, the attributes of $BTC vary. For high-net-worth investors, BTC may be a safe-haven asset, but what they are avoiding is not the risk of asset depreciation, but the risk of asset acceptance.
During geopolitical conflicts, the first thing countries tend to block is foreign exchange. If one wants to leave the country, many assets cannot be fully taken, such as local gold, stocks, bonds, real estate, and cash. However, BTC is different; during Biden's presidency, many people carried cryptocurrencies when they left.
Of course, some may ask why it can't be USDT or USDC. For ordinary people, stablecoins are the best; however, stablecoins lack the potential for appreciation. For high-net-worth investors, the focus is not on short-term fluctuations but on long-term value. Therefore, it is evident that in recent years, BTC has been shifting towards long-term and high-net-worth investors.
But for small-scale investors, due to BTC's strong volatility, it is inevitably a risk asset. After all, for most investors, BTC is merely a tool for wealth, not wealth itself.
The crypto market crashes, riches overnight! Where can Bitcoin find a bottom? Should we short altcoins at highs? Written on the eve of the surge! RICO skyrocketed by 260%! 'Gold coin' has halved!
Bitcoin has switched back from digital gold to digital status, as the Middle East conflict ignites a bloodbath in the crypto space! The airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities was precisely timed to start after the U.S. stock market closed, and I suspect it was intentionally done to 'protect the rise of the U.S. stock market'. Bitcoin fell from a high of nearly $109,000 to $102,000, with altcoins dropping nearly 20% in a single day.
Recently, I have been warning in articles about the risk of a crash (Epic waterfall! Is it the night before Bitcoin's collapse? Ethereum whales are hoarding again, or is it a trap? Altcoins flash crash by 50%! Is this coin going to zero? How can Alpha take three bites from one fish? BTE skyrocketed by 10 times!) that Bitcoin may face a 'big waterfall'! Currently, it is a B-wave rebound, which is a final inducement for bulls. The C-wave decline may begin on Wednesday or Thursday, with the best long position around $103,000. I went long around $102,900.
Crash of $1.15 billion! Why did the cryptocurrency market suddenly plummet today? It's because of these!
The global cryptocurrency market recently plummeted by 5.66%, leaving investors in a fog. Bitcoin's price fell from a high of nearly $109,000 to $104,000, with a drop of 3.6% in 24 hours. Not only Bitcoin, but other mainstream coins like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and even meme coins like Dogecoin also saw declines ranging from 6% to 15%. What caused this market crash? How will it develop in the future? Here is a concise analysis. 1. Fed Rate Cut Expectations Shattered The Fed's latest signals are the main catalyst for the market downturn. Recent data shows that core CPI (Consumer Price Index) exceeded expectations, and the Producer Price Index (PPI) is also rising, making the likelihood of a rate cut in June nearly zero. According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) predictive tool, the market believes there is a 97.4% probability that the Fed will not cut rates this month. This news has undermined investor confidence, with the cryptocurrency market bearing the brunt.
Evaporating billions in market value! Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF delayed! Not even Musk can save it? Repeating the Luna disaster?
In early June 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced an extension of the review period for several cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications, including the Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF submitted by Bitwise and the Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) ETF submitted by Grayscale and Canary Capital. The SEC stated that this move aims to gather more public opinions and thoroughly assess whether these new financial products comply with federal securities laws and investor protection requirements. This decision reflects the SEC's cautious regulatory stance in the face of a rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market.
According to SEC documents, the reason for the delayed review is concerns about whether the proposed ETF meets the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act. This provision requires that exchange rules effectively prevent fraud and market manipulation and protect investors and the public interest.
BTC has fallen below two key support levels, combined with the outbreak of war between Israel and Iran, the trigger factors for the market decline are complete. Within the group, short positions were opened almost at the highest point of $109,775, and as of now, the price has dropped by about $6,000, resulting in substantial profits.
From the daily chart, BTC shows a trend of forming an M-top, with $100,800 being the most critical support level below. If this level is broken, the M-top pattern will be confirmed, and panic selling may lead to further price declines to around $94,000. Currently, the price remains high, and this round of decline is mainly driven by risk aversion sentiment triggered by the war. As long as the support level of $100,800 holds, there is hope for capital to flow back after the market stabilizes.
Therefore, this drop provides investors with an opportunity to acquire low-priced chips, and one can patiently wait for the buying or shorting opportunity. I have partially taken profits on my position.
Replacing the concepts of bull market or bear market with simple market or difficult market; would it be a bit clearer?
AND:
If you know when it is a simple market and when it is a difficult market, then you will know when to go heavy and when to go light;
If you know when to go heavy and when to go light, then you will know when to focus on large market caps and when to chase altcoins;
If you know when to focus on large market caps and when to chase altcoins, then you will know when emotions are at a peak and when they are at a trough;
If you know when emotions are at a peak and when they are at a trough, then you will know when to buy the dip and when to sell at the top.
The overall trend of Bitcoin is upward, but on a smaller scale, it has not yet stopped falling. Although the short-term price has retreated and touched the support near 108,000 without breaking it, the rebound strength is relatively weak. Therefore, I think there will be a trap to lure shorts, and on a smaller scale, it will continue to pull back downward. After touching near 108,000 again, it will accelerate to dip down to around 107,500, then quickly recover and start a rebound. So, the short-term buying position can be chosen near 107,500.
The futures shorts added positions yesterday, with liquidity for shorts above the high hitting a three-month clearing zone peak, similar to the market structure of 2024. The funding rate remains positive, indicating that the high-positioned shorts are mostly 100x leveraged hedging positions, explaining the three instances of unliquidated positions.
The $BTC spot premium has rebounded, and the price may continue to fluctuate, with opportunities for shorting during high tests. Liquidity accumulation entices buying, but 'what should be cleared will not be cleared, and there will surely be anomalies', suggesting there may be spot supply distributed through the short clearing zone, with futures buying supporting spot selling, maintaining the fluctuation.
The ETF for SOL has made new progress. Last night, the SEC requested that the issuers of the proposed spot SOL ETF submit a revised S-1 form within the next week. Industry insiders believe that this ETF will be approved within 3 to 5 weeks. Additionally, there are reports that the SEC also seems willing to accept proposals that include staking mechanisms.
This is not only beneficial for SOL but also for ETH, which is why both ETH and SOL showed strong performance last night. Furthermore, Bloomberg believes that the market is about to enter the altcoin ETF summer phase and has provided the approval rates for other altcoin ETFs in 2025.
$LTC 90%, $SOL 90%, $XRP 85%, $DOGE 80%, $HBAR 80%, $ADA 75%, $DOT 75%, $AVAX 75%, $SUI 60%, $TRX uncertain. There’s not much more to say about these; they are all projects worth buying.
Solana vs Base From the weekly perspective of Solana, there are very few assets suitable for long-term holding; on Base, there are more projects worth holding for the long term. However, it is strange that the market heat and buzz around Solana far exceed that of Base. Characteristics of the BSC chain BSC is known as the "simple mode" for the following reasons: Chinese chain: The news is close to the major players, with a clear information advantage. Slow chain speed: The pace is slow, allowing for relaxed operations. Clear valuation: CZ's retweets are worth hundreds of thousands, changing avatars is worth millions, and Alpha is in the tens of millions, making the valuation justifiable. Bottom-up: There is little interference from strong major players, leading to stable valuations. Strategies for navigating BSC: If not taken by a "conspiracy," ignoring, hitching a ride, or slight sabotage is acceptable. Not in the conspiracy sequence: negative EV (expected value). In the conspiracy sequence: positive EV. BSC's meme coins, when viewed on a 4-hour chart, are not suitable for long-term holding. Ethereum mainnet Like a "slow version of BSC," it has a high rate of going to zero, rapid downward momentum, few themes, and is difficult to hold long-term. Retrospective perspective Setting aside conspiracy theories, Base is the easiest chain to make money.
As night falls, the market surges fiercely, while during the day it adjusts. Ethereum has finally broken through the range of fluctuations, and market enthusiasm is moderate. I came across a few big names who have exited the circle; in reality, if one completely leaves this space, it is truly difficult to withdraw, as one becomes accustomed to the excitement of various trades here and stays updated with the latest information. I particularly agree with the phrase 'extreme things will turn against themselves' because any extreme action will definitely backfire. In this space, what you once believed in, what faith you had, might be completely different once you know the truth. Maintain a calm mindset. Wishing everyone prosperity.
Yesterday, after BTC broke through the $110,000 mark, although it subsequently fell below this key level again, market sentiment has been activated, which may drive the rebound of other mainstream cryptocurrencies.
ETH has returned to $2,800, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate is attempting to break through the daily Vegas resistance level. ETH ETF has seen a net inflow for 15 consecutive working days, and the optimistic funding environment has stimulated the rise in ETH prices.
Regarding altcoins, market sentiment is high, and most sectors have welcomed a rebound; the Fear and Greed Index today reports at 65, which is an increase compared to yesterday, placing it in the greed range.
The overall long-short ratio is 0.51, with bearish sentiment dominating.
Why did Bitcoin surge by six thousand points? What are the strategies for missing out and chasing highs in the future? GASS surged by 15 times! Ethereum keeps rising! Bull market 10x target strategy!
Last night, Bitcoin accelerated upward, breaking away from the 30-day moving average pressure, surging to 110,000. ETH and the DeFi sector both performed well. Why did Bitcoin surge? After stabilizing at 105,000 yesterday noon, it surged for 13 hours in the afternoon until this morning, breaking the 110,000 mark, reaching a high of 110,650, just 1500 points away from the previous high, then retreated downwards, currently above 109, with a 1500-point pullback, still in oscillation adjustment. Bitcoin has surged for 13 hours straight to break the 110,000 mark again. It seems that there are suddenly all favorable factors, including: 1) The three major U.S. stock indexes rebounded to new highs post tariff wars;
ETH rose as expected to liquidate shorts, peaking at 2548 before retreating. Current market liquidity is scarce, and fluctuations can be determined through the liquidation chart.
After one side is liquidated, the market often reverses. The early morning was an example: after liquidating shorts near 2535, the price surged to 2550, peaking at 2548, and then pulled back to the current 2493. This kind of market is suitable for short-term swing trading.
Since the 6th, the market's liquidation data has decreased, and liquidity is almost exhausted. $ETH is currently in a consolidation range, but I remain bearish, expecting it to drop to at least 2400. The short-term support level around 2478 will oscillate repeatedly, ultimately possibly dropping to 2400 in one go.
Dogecoin (DOGE) Soars 5%! Whales Accumulate 920 Million, Weekly Breaks $0.20, Ready to Ignite a Frenzied Bull Market!
According to CoinStats data, the recent market correction has not lasted long, and most cryptocurrencies have returned to an upward trend.
Today, the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) has risen significantly, with an increase of nearly 5%. The current market capitalization is $27.96 billion, and the 24-hour trading volume has surged to $922.18 million, an increase of 56.46% compared to the previous day. Dogecoin's fully diluted valuation (FDV) is consistent with its market capitalization, and the ratio of trading volume to market cap is approximately 3.33%. Its total supply remains stable at 149.58 billion coins.
Although Dogecoin performed strongly today, the hourly chart still shows clear bullish signals. If the daily chart can break through the resistance level and close, the upward momentum may continue, with target prices potentially reaching $0.19 or even higher.
Will the Federal Reserve save the market? Special coins long positions surged by 4000U! Is there a 10% pullback tonight? I am bottom-fishing here! Will ETH continue to rise? MASK surged by 3178U! Trump is anxious!
Bitcoin has been around for over 16 years since its birth in 2009, repeatedly reported by various media and often appearing in discussions, yet it is still ignored, overlooked, or even antagonized by many. On the other hand, true beauty is scarce. Bitcoin first plummeted and then surged by 5000 points, now rebounding to around 105,000.
Bitcoin (BTC) Analysis
The recent rise in Bitcoin is mainly driven by better-than-expected U.S. employment data, with the U.S. stock market approaching historical highs, leading Bitcoin to move upwards concurrently, aligning with expectations. Once the rebound ends, we will layout again!
I believe that the price movements of Bitcoin are driven by major players in the context of grand narratives, through a cycle of 'accumulating at low prices, selling at high prices, and then accumulating again at low prices.' During the ups and downs, the major players continuously harvest the wealth of market participants.
Why do the major players always have funds to drive the market? Because they not only make money by going long through contracts at low prices but can also continue to profit by going short at high prices. They control the trends and almost always profit without loss.
Observations from the past six months reveal: after the major players sell, prices peak and then slowly decline for months; after accumulation is complete, the next round of upward movement starts, followed by a significant correction after selling. Each time they drive the market, the major players can earn several times their investment. Despite BTC's market value growing larger, its unique narrative and currency applications continue to attract a steady influx of capital.
Hypothesis: If there were no contracts and other financial derivatives, it might be difficult for BTC's market value to continue rising. Contracts amplify the profits of major players, but also amplify the losses of retail investors. The essence of the market is a game between major players and retail investors, with funds flowing from cash-strapped retail investors to well-capitalized major players.
2. What is the essence of contracts?
The essence of contracts is volatility. If you bet on the right direction and control the position you can bear, you can continue to make a profit. But the premise is that the direction must be correct, which stumps 90% of players.
The ancient E soldier's perspective is worth learning from.
I think for spot trading, it still depends on your own cost basis;
However, since E has already shown such an impressive performance by having a strong bullish candle that wiped out the bears this round;
It's basically quite difficult for it to return to the previous low, after all, the main funds won't allow retail investors to pick up cheap chips from their accumulation, unless they have already completed a round of selling;
As for short-term trading, the operation of this coin is extremely bloody, even I have returned defeated multiple times, so don't do short-term trading;
Also, many people don't understand why the E at 2200 is more attractive than the E at 1800, because E at 1800 might still go down to 1300, while E at 2200 could go to 3000+;
There are many people in the cryptocurrency world who have made 10 million, very many!
However, earning 10 million oneself and deriving a methodology for ordinary people to earn 10 million are two completely different things; the latter is clearly much more difficult. The thought process involved breaks down the 10 million into three 10x opportunities, finding corresponding opportunities in the first, second, and third 10x levels, and replicating the profitable operations 100 times within each 10x. I believe these ideas are very practical, scientific, and effective.
So, how can one earn 10 million in the cryptocurrency world? Let's start with a basic theorem: In a person's life, one only needs to continuously go all-in on three tenfold cryptocurrencies. First, prepare $10,000, which is an amount you can afford to lose, then aim for $10,000 - $100,000, $100,000 - $1,000,000, and $1,000,000 can be considered a small target. If you don't even have $10,000 to start with, or if that $10,000 is not something you can afford to lose, then work and study hard instead. Investing may not be suitable for you at this time because your ability to bear risk is too low. If an all-in fails, there is a high probability of failure, which may severely impact your real life, leading to a loss that is not worth it!
The potential returns you can achieve depend on the scale of your vision. Do you cryptocurrency friends understand?
