Recently, Bitcoin has been hovering between 90,000 and 94,000 USDT over the past two weeks, and the short-term fluctuations are still somewhat complex.



Let's first look at market sentiment. The fear index has dropped to 20, indicating extreme fear. Retail investors are indeed quite scared, but many institutions and experienced traders see this as a buying opportunity at this level.

On-chain data is even more interesting—recently, the daily total liquidation across the network has fluctuated between 300 million and 900 million USD, indicating that many leveraged traders have been wiped out. Conversely, the actual long positions of retail investors are only 40%, while open interest has hit a record high of 99%. This structure is very susceptible to a short squeeze and a rebound.

From a technical perspective, if the price effectively breaks above 94,600, the next targets could be in the 105,600–115,000 range. Conversely, if it falls below 81,665, the key support at 62,605 will come under pressure.

From a cycle perspective, many analysts believe that December 2025 is already within the top window of this cycle, with a theoretical target of 90,000–130,000 USD. The Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations still have an 89% probability, and the flow of funds at the end of the year remains a variable.

Overall, we are currently at a highly uncertain equilibrium point, whether to expect a rebound or continued sideways decline.

Extreme panic is actually a buy signal; institutions have already been accumulating chips. Retail investors are only 40% long? That data is quite bleak; a short squeeze rebound might be just around the corner. 94600 is a critical point; whether it breaks through or not will determine the subsequent trend. It really depends on the next two days. Liquidations of 300 million to 900 million are still fluctuating; leveraged traders are still too greedy. In this environment, being cautious is the most important. The December top window and rate cut expectations indeed leave room for imagination, but it's too early to say now. If the 62605 support line is really broken, we need to watch for a pullback. Don't overthink it; first see if the breakout can hold.

Extreme panic is actually the time for institutions to buy the dip, while retail investors are still trembling.

Extreme panic is actually an opportunity. The more retail investors run away aggressively, the more I want to buy in.

Institutions are accumulating, retail investors are cutting losses, it's the old routine. --- 99% of open contracts are truly impossible to close, this is going to cause trouble. --- The fear index is at 20, should I laugh or cry? --- Breakthrough 94,600 to have a chance, otherwise continue the stampede. --- Wait, this data says only 40% are bullish, then who is shorting? --- The peak in December next year? Ha, then isn't it better to buy the dip now? --- The most prone to crashes is during extreme panic, everyone be careful. --- 3-9 billion USD liquidation, these days are indeed tough. --- The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates is 89%, now that's the real variable. --- It's that same "balance point" rhetoric again, anyway I still don't understand. --- 62605 crashing is the real drop, right now it's all just false alarms.

The 90,000 to 94,000 range is just being dragged out like this. Retail investors are scared, but institutions are bleeding at the bottom. It's a typical leek-cutting rhythm.

Taking so long, I'm already bored and started staring at the candlestick charts in a daze. Maybe it's better to wait for the big shots from the institutions to come and save the day.

99% of open contracts, this damn thing is a big bearish trap, waiting to be squeezed.
