#数字资产市场观察 Did the start of February deliver a heavy blow?
In simple terms: there are no buyers entering the market, and sellers are lined up in long queues.
This round of decline is actually the simultaneous eruption of several signals:
💸 The Federal Reserve's stance has turned hawkish. The expectation of interest rate cuts has completely cooled down, and the chain reaction of the leadership change is still fermenting. Traditional assets have suddenly become attractive, and funds are starting to flow towards cash and bonds. Bitcoin? No one is willing to be the bag holder.
📊 The order book is terrifyingly thin. The higher the price, the fewer the orders. When large funds or institutions sell off, the price drops sharply without any support.
🐋 Large holders retreat + retail investors panic selling Some whales are cashing out and leaving at high positions, and short-term players see their accounts turning green and immediately follow the trend to cut losses. Panic spreads like a virus, accelerating the decline.
🌍 Global risk aversion sentiment rises It's not just the cryptocurrency market that is declining; the stock market and tech sector are also pulling back. Everyone is looking for safe assets, and cryptocurrencies are naturally being abandoned.
---
🔍 The essence is: "Deteriorating expectations → Liquidity depletion → Whales fleeing → Retail panic" death loop. It's not that Bitcoin is having problems; it's the market cooling down emotions.
Don't listen to those who are shouting that Bitcoin will drop to 50,000 or 60,000. Unless there is a black swan event, even if a bear market comes, it will still be a rhythm of decline - rebound - and then decline again. Can such a deep plunge happen all at once? How can the leader lead the team?
As emotions are repaired and funds flow back, you will find: BTC is most frightening when it falls, and it rises the most aggressively.
This round is estimated to have a pullback of about 5%, the impact of the Federal Reserve's personnel change has not been fully digested, and Trump is still contemplating the issue of interest rate cuts... Will the market first experience a false drop before rebounding? It's hard to say.
Don't forget about ETH either. There is a community upgrade on December 4th, and such positive news can easily trigger a short-term sentiment rebound.
This is the psychological tactic that the dealers play.

The selling pressure is so fierce, I think it's a good opportunity for whipsaw.
---
Retail investors are all cutting losses, at this time we should just enjoy the show.
---
Does changing personnel at the Fed mean we have to run? Come on, guys, that's too naive.
---
Wait, is that 50,000 really the bottom or just a scare tactic?
---
I've marked that ETH upgrade long ago, are there really people who haven't seen it yet?
---
The point about liquidity drying up hit me hard, there really isn't much catching a falling knife at high positions.
---
Don't make it so complicated, to put it simply, it's just dumping.
---
I just want to know when Trump will stop causing trouble.
---
You can't bet on a quick rebound, in a probability game you still have to set a stop loss.
---
I've seen too much of this market maker's psychological warfare, I'm numb to it.

Once the Fed turns its policy, the crypto world has to engage in psychological warfare. The fact that funds are running towards bonds is truly remarkable.
If you ask me, with such a thin market, who would dare to take a heavy position? Once Large Investors dump, retail investors will immediately panic, it's that simple.
A 5% pullback is normal; don't spread those misleading rumors about falling to 50,000. Unless there's a black swan event, it's still a cycle of downward movement and rebound.
Wait, isn't the ETH upgrade on December 4 just another market maker's trick? It's just a short-term rebound.
This is a probability game; only opportunities with a high win rate are worth pursuing.

With the sell orders piling up so aggressively, should retail investors stop loss or hold on?

The Order Book is so thin at this level, who dares to catch a falling knife?
---
It's all about risk aversion and capital flight, to put it bluntly, no one dares to catch the falling knife.
---
5% pullback? I think it still needs to fall a bit more, the Fed's actions haven't fully played out yet.
---
Wait, can that ETH upgrade really pump it up? I'm not too confident, it's mostly market maker's tricks.
---
Scary when it falls and fierce when it rises, saying that is like saying nothing at all.
---
Instead of predicting 5% or 8%, it's better to wait for the sentiment to calm down before taking action; touching it now is just giving money to others.
---
A quick rebound followed by another fall? We've seen this trick too many times.
---
Not taking the dumb buyer title sounds quite fitting... there really isn't much worth catching right now.

Damn it, it's this script of Be Played for Suckers again, when the Fed goes crazy, all the funds run away.
Wait, can this community upgrade of ETH really pump things up? I'm a bit skeptical.
The Order Book has been so thin, who can we blame for that?
