Don't remind me again today

Yesterday's market fall was frankly quite frightening. Bitcoin directly broke through 90,000, and Ethereum couldn't hold the 3,000 mark, with the total liquidation amount skyrocketing to 650 million dollars. The friends circle was filled with wails, but when we calm down and look at the data, this big dump actually has traces to follow.



First, let's talk about the superficial reasons. Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have seen net outflows for five consecutive weeks, totaling $2.6 billion — institutional funds are pulling out, which is obvious. Furthermore, after the psychological barrier of $100,000 was breached, the leveraged positions of 170,000 people were instantly liquidated, and once the stampede effect occurs, no one can stop it. On a macro level, things are even worse, as the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations have fallen through, and Trump is again implementing tariff policies, leading funds to rush towards safe-haven assets.

But here's the interesting part. On-chain data shows that there are whales crazily accumulating around $92,000; the selling volume from long-term holding addresses has dropped by 32% compared to last month; the fear and greed index has already fallen to single digits - historical experience tells us that this kind of extreme fear often means that a reversal is brewing.

The upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate meeting in December could be a turning point. Arthur Hayes mentioned recently that if quantitative easing is restarted, it is not impossible for Bitcoin to reach $250,000 by the end of the year. Of course, such predictions should be taken with a grain of salt, but the shift in liquidity is indeed the core variable.

Recently, the sudden shutdown of DappRadar is also worth pondering - projects that seemed glamorous during a bull market still have to die when a bear market comes. The market is always educating people: blindly chasing highs when prices rise can lead to losses, and panicking to cut losses when prices fall can also result in missing opportunities. In the past few cycles, those who dared to make moves during extreme fear have averaged a 10%-30% rebound within six months.

What are you planning to choose at this position?
BTC-8.94%
ETH-9.18%

What does it mean when whales are sweeping up? Retail investors are still cutting losses, the gap is truly remarkable. --- Historical experience? I've heard too much about it, last time it was said the same and it fell 20% again. --- dapp shutdowns are not surprising, the darlings of a bull run become cannon fodder in a Bear Market, it's just a trick. --- 250,000? Arthur Hayes is dreaming big, I don't believe it. --- Positioning during extreme panic? Easy to say, but when that time comes, who dares to move? --- Institutions are pulling out, and I still need to rush in? There's something wrong with the brain. --- 650 million Get Liquidated, how many people must be losing sleep over this, just thinking about it feels chilling. --- 92,000 crazy purchases, this Whale's move is really ruthless, our little position is just a fraction of theirs.

650 million Get Liquidated, institutions are dumping, but Whale is sweeping... I've seen this routine too many times. It's the opposite, the more panic there is, the more I want to buy the dip. It's not surprising that DappRadar is doomed, Bear Market is a sieve. If this really reverses, there will be many people regretting it. But 250,000... just listen to it, let's see what the Fed says in December.

This wave is indeed interesting, while the whales are buying the dip, I'm playing people for suckers, it's ridiculous. Wait, DappRadar is gone? No way, is that true? Which big brother is the one who swept 92,000, can you share some soup? After all, it's still about liquidity, 250,000? Hayes, take your time to blow, I just want to survive first. Isn't a single-digit panic index the bottom? Then I've been below the bottom I've been buying the dip. It sounds right to layout during extreme fear, but my wallet has been in extreme fear for a long time. Regarding the institutions pulling out 2.6 billion, let's not follow them, they have an exit strategy, we don't. The projects that shone in the bull run are dead, and what I hold in my hands is all dead, damn. Tariffs, interest rate cuts, quantitative easing... none are as urgent as my psychological construction. In December, the Fed can't save my account, at most it can save Bitcoin. This position? I choose to turn left and go out, to calm down a bit. A rebound of 10%-30%? I need to recoup investment 50% first.

Whales are sweeping in, holding addresses are buying the dip, and the fear index is down to single digits... In short, they're waiting for suckers to cut losses, history repeats itself this way. To be honest, I was scared to death at that time, but after looking at the on-chain data, I felt calm instead; this is actually an opportunity. The 92,000 sweep was too fierce; it feels like someone is laying out for the next round, but who knows, anyway, I’ve decided to auto-invest. Arthur Hayes' theory is just something to listen to, but the liquidity aspect is indeed worth following; how the Fed moves in December is the key. The shutdown of DappRadar is quite ironic, exposing how many projects are not that resilient and deserve to die. This is the time that tests psychological quality the most; those who dared to buy the dip in the last cycle really made a fortune, but the problem is I don’t have that courage.
