WHERE'S THE REAL SELLING PRESSURE?

Bitcoin holding around $95K, but don't blame retail panic for any caps. Here's what's actually happening:

The recent buyers? They're sitting pretty in profit territory. When new money isn't underwater, the fear spiral doesn't kick in. That's the safety net most people miss.

But here's the tension point -- mid-term holders are the ones sweating it out. Those folks who've been holding for 3 to 12 months? That's where the real pressure is building. They're neither deep in green nor fresh in red. That's the friction zone.

People with 3-12 months are indeed the most uncomfortable, neither making a profit nor cutting losses, just stuck like this is the most tormenting.

Oh no, the group of people with 3 to 12 months is indeed awkward... They can't make big money nor lose everything. This position is the easiest to sell off.

95k can still hold steady, retail investors are really not the problem, the ones truly struggling are those middle-term bottom-fishing guys, being in an awkward position is the most painful.

Old positions held for 3-12 months really can't hold up anymore; this is the true source of pressure.
