【Bitcoin Plummets Below 90,000, Market Fear Index Hits Nearly 5-Month Low!】 On February 25, 2025, the cryptocurrency market faced a "Black Wednesday" — Bitcoin (BTC) fell below the $90,000 mark for the first time since mid-January, hitting a low of $88,189, with a 24-hour drop of 6.8%; Ethereum (ETH) also plummeted by 12.5%, briefly dropping below $2,300, while Solana (SOL) crashed by 15.12% to $136.5. The derivatives market went into a frenzy, with over $1.3 billion in liquidation across the network, where long positions accounted for as much as 93.6%, leaving 360,000 investors devastated. Triggers for the Plunge: Triple Negative Resonance Macroeconomic Policy Shock: The Trump administration announced a national security investigation into copper imports, raising market concerns about a trade war escalation leading to a tightening of dollar liquidity; the vote on the Bitcoin investment bill in South Dakota was postponed, exacerbating sell-off due to unmet policy expectations. Institutional Funds Withdrawal: Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced net outflows for two consecutive weeks, with a 47% surge in open interest for CME Bitcoin futures, triggering a domino effect of collective closures in institutional arbitrage positions. Market Sentiment Collapse: The Fear and Greed Index plummeted from 49 to 25, marking a new low since September 2024. After breaking below the critical support level of $93,500, a vicious cycle of "drop → sell-off → accelerated drop" formed. Key Observation Points for the Future Technical Aspect: If $93,500 cannot be reclaimed within 3 days, it may dip into the $70,000-$75,000 range; Policy Aspect: The U.S. PCE inflation data (to be released on February 26) and the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike direction will determine the dollar's trend; Capital Aspect: A net flow breakthrough of +2 standard deviations in exchange net flow (30-day EMA) may indicate short-term stabilization. The current market shows a "dual slaughter" pattern, with analysts like Arthur Hayes warning to be cautious of testing the $70,000 level, while long-term bulls still hope for a target price of $200,000. Investors are advised to maintain leverage below 3 times and focus on on-chain MVRV ratio and other risk indicators.

Currently, the total market value share of Bitcoin is near the monthly line ma120. It was mentioned a long time ago that the probability of a successful breakthrough is not high. It is also the starting point of the bull market in the altcoin market. Therefore, the current market value share of Bitcoin is extremely unfavorable for Bitcoin. Generally speaking, whoever's market value share decreases will be in a bad state. The market value share trend of Ethereum and the price performance of Ethereum in the past two years can give us a glimpse of this. In addition, the monthly line is in a serious overbought state and needs to be adjusted. Therefore, it is expected that Bitcoin will get out of an absolutely bad market throughout this year, and the altcoin market will usher in the last wave of dividends for retail investors. There will be no more in the future, or it will be difficult, because from the market value of Bitcoin, we can see that after this round of altcoin bull market ends, it will soon enter the end of the triangle structure, and the shock range will be greatly reduced, which means that there will no longer be a particularly large profit margin. It also means the complete end of the dividend period in the currency circle.

According to Cointelegraph, despite calls within the crypto industry to propose rolling back the Ethereum network to a state before February 21, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko issued a serious warning on this matter. He pointed out that the Bybit hack incident is fundamentally different from the DAO vulnerability incident that occurred in 2016. In the DAO incident, there was a clear loophole in the protocol rules, while the Bybit hack incident appeared normal on the surface and did not violate the existing rules of the Ethereum protocol. For this reason, attempting to recover stolen funds through a network rollback is technically infeasible. Furthermore, Beiko emphasized that rollback operations could trigger extremely serious chain reactions, causing unpredictable impacts on the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
1. Historical Review of Bitcoin Market Early Emergence Stage (2009 - 2012) Bitcoin was born in 2009, and in its early days, it had almost no market value. It was mainly focused on by a small group of tech enthusiasts and cryptography experts. In 2010, the famous first physical transaction of Bitcoin occurred when a programmer purchased two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, a value that was nearly negligible at the time. During this stage, Bitcoin's price fluctuated very little, and transactions were mainly conducted on small, unofficial trading platforms.

Everyone knows that the stock market follows the trend of Bitcoin. In the current market, as long as everyone has enough time to watch the market and has a fast internet and hand speed, then trading contracts with a swing strategy is essential. Control your greed; as long as you make a profit, close the position. Then wait for the trend to continue going long or short. Operation method: Select a few low-priced targets and keep an eye on the market in real-time. Adjust your mindset to earn living expenses tomorrow; water fees are not a big issue, and it's more comfortable than working. As long as you persist long-term without being greedy, you will develop your own sense. Once the frequency picks up, turning things around is inevitable.

ETH is showing a volatile upward trend, with a short-term technical bias leaning towards the bullish side, but caution is needed for overbought pullbacks. In terms of operations, it is recommended to flexibly layout strategies by combining key support/resistance levels, with a priority on the pullback opportunities around $2450-$2480, and to strictly set stop-losses. From a medium to long-term perspective, if market sentiment and liquidity continue to improve, ETH is expected to challenge higher resistance levels. Investors need to closely monitor changes in trading volume and macro policy trends, avoiding the risk of misjudgment from a single indicator. $ETH
