Watch the BTC trend, don't just stare at the Candlestick Chart shouting bullish or bearish. You may predict that it can break through 90,000, or pull back to 40,000, that's fine—but it must be based on reason and evidence, you can't just speak without justification.



To be honest, the market now is nothing like it was a few years ago. Back then, Bitcoin was still a niche thing, and the pool was shallow; a few tens of millions of dollars could stir up a huge wave. And now? The market has matured, and to see a big movement, there needs to be a real catalyst.

What is a true catalyst? The hardest core is the central bank's policy - when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates and reduces its balance sheet, liquidity is drained, and the market naturally stagnates; conversely, when interest rates are lowered and liquidity is increased, the bull market engine will roar.

Policy vacuum periods, geopolitical friction, platform explosions, and whale sell-offs... These factors are not fatal when considered individually, but if they come together, the short-term rhythm can easily be skewed.
