Everyone is saying "BTC is just over 80k, it's too expensive and I missed it," but don't worry, this idea itself is quite interesting.
Look at today's data: $80,527, up 0.48%, with a trading volume of only 757 million USDT.
What does this trading volume indicate? The market isn't as FOMO-driven as you might think.
The funding rate of 0.0036% is also very calm, with no signs of crazy long positions.
From a different perspective, the Fear and Greed Index is at 38, still in the Fear zone.
Most people haven't noticed a detail: when retail investors are shouting "It's too expensive, I can't afford it," institutions are often quietly accumulating.
Historically, every time everyone feels the price is "unreachably high," it turns out they were early in hindsight.
But what I really want to ask is, why is 80k called expensive?
When it was 10k, some said it was expensive; at 30k, even more people said it was expensive.
The price itself has no absolute measure of expensive or cheap, only relative overvaluation or undervaluation.
Currently, the fluctuation range is only 1.16%, and this "slow boil" upward pattern, like boiling a frog gradually, is healthier than sudden surges or crashes.
The real question isn't whether the price is high or low, but whether your perception has kept up.
If you complain that it's too expensive when the market is still in Fear, won't you be hopeless when Greed takes over?
The first lesson the market teaches us: never look at today's price with yesterday's perspective.
