#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 The pullback is here—are you panicking?
Last night you were still yelling "Charge, charge, charge," and this morning you check your account—
BTC: 73,000 →71,068 (-2.67%)
ETH: 2,285 →2,201 (-3.65%)
SOL: 84.74 →81.99 (-3.25%)
Fear Index: 12 (Extreme Fear)
One night later, the bulls are buried; the bears wake up laughing.
🤔 Why did it drop? Three reasons—each more convincing than the last:
① Pre-earnings hedging ahead of BlackRock’s report
Tomorrow (April 14), BlackRock will release its Q1 earnings. As the world’s largest asset management company, it has a $14 trillion scale. The market is waiting for data on BTC/ETH ETF fund flows. Before the earnings report, nobody dares to hold positions—this is Wall Street’s muscle memory.
② Selling pressure before tax day
On April 15, the U.S. tax filing deadline arrives. Every year around this time, Americans sell coins to pay taxes, draining liquidity.
Historical experience: the week before April 15, BTC drops on average by 3–5%. ③ Profit-taking
BTC surged from 70,000 to 73,000 (+4.3%), and short-term capital cashes out and leaves. This isn’t a crash—this is a normal pullback.
📊 BTC Technical Analysis
Current position: $71,068
Resistance 1 $72,800 Short-term pressure
Resistance 2 $74,500 Previous high
Current price $71,068 In a pullback
Support 1
$70,000 Psychological level
⭐ Support 2 $68,500 Strong support
Support 3 $65,000 Extreme support
In one sentence: $70,000 is the line in the sand—if it breaks, add to your position; if it doesn’t, wait.
📊 ETH Technical Analysis
Current position: $2,201
Resistance 1 $2,350 Short-term pressure
Resistance 2 $2,500 Previous high
Current price $2,201 In a pullback
Support 1 $2,150 Last low
Support 2 $2,000 Psychological level
⭐ Support 3 $1,800 Extreme support
In one sentence: $2,000 is the golden pit—if it drops there, go all-in (in batches).
🦾 SOL: The strongest L1
Current position: $81.99
Why did SOL drop the least this round?
• TVL hit a new all-time high
• The DePIN ecosystem keeps expanding
• Developer activity basically doesn’t care about bull or bear markets
• Institutions keep buying
SOL is the "Noah’s Ark" of this bear market. Below 80 is the money-sending zone; below 70 is a pie falling from the sky.
🎯 Trading Strategy
If you have a position: your cost is lower than the current price—hold it, don’t move
If your cost is higher than the current price—wait for the $70,000 support test to add leverage positioning
Reduce leverage before tax day
If you are out of position: $70,000–71,000 Buy in batches 20% $68,500–70,000 Add to reach 50% $65,000–68,500 Go all-in (if you dare)
⏰ This Week’s Timeline
Today 4/13 Goldman Sachs earnings Stand by
Tomorrow 4/14 BlackRock earnings ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decide after earnings; the day after 4/15 Tax deadline Reduce positions / stand by
Starting 4/16 Liquidity recovers Add positions
💡 One-sentence summary
A pullback is an opportunity, not a disaster. When the Fear Index is 12, you don’t dare to buy; when the Fear Index is 80, you’re even less likely to buy. $70,000 is the line in the sand—if it breaks, add; if it doesn’t, wait. BlackRock’s earnings will decide; we’ll see the truth after April 15. Don’t get wild now—hold your hands.

SOL: 84.74 → 81.99 (-3.25%)
Fear Index: 12 (Extreme Fear)
Woke up to find the bulls buried, the bears laughing awake.
🤔 Why did it fall? Three reasons, each more convincing than the last:
1. Bailing out before the earnings report
Tomorrow (April 14), BlackRock will release its Q1 earnings report, the world's largest asset management firm, with $14 trillion in assets. The market is waiting for BTC/ETH ETF fund flow data. No one dares to hold positions before the earnings report—that's Wall Street's muscle memory.
2. Selling pressure before tax season
April 15 is the US tax deadline. Every year around this time, Americans sell coins to pay taxes, draining liquidity.
Historical experience: In the week before April 15, BTC typically drops 3-5%.
3. Profit-taking
BTC rose from 70,000 to 73,000 (+4.3%), short-term funds are cashing out. This isn't a crash; it's a normal correction.

Current price: $2,201 Pullback in progress
Support 1: $2,150 Last low
Support 2: $2,000 Psychological level
⭐ Support 3: $1,800 Extreme support
One sentence: $2,000 is the golden buy zone—buy the dip (in batches).
🦾 SOL: The strongest Layer 1
Current position: $81.99
Why did SOL fall the least this round?
• TVL hit a record high
• DePIN ecosystem continues to expand
• Developer activity remains unaffected by bull or bear markets
• Institutions keep buying
SOL is this bear market’s "Noah’s Ark." Below 80 is a money zone, below 70 is like getting a pie from the sky.
🎯 Trading Strategy
If you hold positions: If your cost is below the current price, hold and do nothing.
If your cost is above the current price, wait for the $70,000 support to test leveraged positions.
Reduce leverage before tax season.
If you are out of the market: Build positions gradually at $70,000–$71,000, add 20% at $68,500–$70,000, increase to 50% at $65,000–$68,500, go all-in (if you dare).
⏰ This Week’s Timeline
Today 4/13: Goldman Sachs earnings report, watch and wait
Tomorrow 4/14: BlackRock earnings report ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decide after earnings, 4/15: Tax deadline, reduce or hold
Starting 4/16: Liquidity recovers, increase positions
💡 One sentence summary
Pullbacks are opportunities, not disasters. When the Fear Index is at 12, you’re afraid to buy; when it’s at 80, you’re even more afraid. $70,000 is the bottom line—if it breaks, add; if not, wait. BlackRock’s earnings will decide the outcome, and the real story unfolds after April 15. Don’t waste time now—control yourself.
