Is Bitcoin hovering again around the 9K mark? Can it stabilize this time?



I mentioned earlier that once the Friday options settlement is over, market makers will start releasing liquidity. This wave of volatility could be quite fierce. It looks like the market is already showing its power as we head into Monday.

From the chart, there are clear signs of volatility—this is not just simple price fluctuations up and down. The liquidity release triggered by options settlement often leads to sharp short-term swings. Market makers adjusting positions and hedging risks, along with market participants re-evaluating their holdings, all contribute to the current situation.

The key question is: can this liquidity release help Bitcoin hold steady above the 9K level? It depends on the strength of subsequent buying pressure and the overall market sentiment. There will likely be fluctuations in the short term, but if the fundamentals are strong enough, stabilizing above 9K is not an issue.

Here comes the 9-character trick again; market makers are playing this game like a pro.

Market makers are causing trouble again; this time, it might really test their mental resilience.

The 9-heads are back. Is this wave really stable or just another attempt to harvest the little guys?

Here we go again, the old routine of market makers... Always messing around like this.

Why do we still have to rely on buying pressure to rescue? It feels like we need to race against the overall market environment.

I'm already tired of this market maker routine. Every time options are settled, they go through the same manipulations. Honestly, it's just a way to harvest retail investors.

Here we go again? Sounds nice, but it's just about taking cues from market makers.

Again, it's the 9-character head. This repetitive pattern is really incredible. Every time, I say this time I can stabilize the result, but it's still the same.
