Don't remind me again today

Did you guys sleep last night? I sure didn’t—the market slapped me right in the face. Bitcoin shot straight up to $92,000, and Ethereum confidently climbed back above $3,000. My social feed blew up instantly, with everyone posting screenshots of their gains like the bull market has come back from the dead.



A quick look at the news explained everything: a wave of big events hit all at once. Vanguard, one of the traditional financial giants, finally opened up Bitcoin ETF trading; the Fed confirmed it’s stopping quantitative tightening; and a certain former president started hinting on social media about replacing the head of the central bank... With this combo, it’s no wonder the market’s so pumped.

**But let’s stay calm—what should we watch out for with this rally?**

First, the good news itself—traditional finance giants opening the gates is definitely positive, as it means more pension and institutional funds now have a compliant way in. The Fed stopping the liquidity drain is a relief too, since liquidity is the lifeblood of all risk assets. Policy shifts are giving the market room to imagine a “looser” future.

The catch: these are **positive expectations**, not immediate realities. Real money flows in gradually—it doesn’t show up the day after the news breaks. More importantly, when everyone knows something is bullish, the price often already reflects it. Remember the old saying: “Buy the rumor, sell the news.” At these levels, the big players could easily use the hype to offload positions.

**The technicals are hinting at something too**

Take a look at Ethereum’s 2-hour chart. Yes, volume has picked up, but look closely at the upside: there’s a dense resistance zone from previous bagholders, round-number psychological barriers, and the moving averages aren’t fully repaired yet. That doesn’t mean it can’t go higher, but the risk of chasing here is clearly rising.

My advice? Hold what you’re already holding, but don’t go all-in just because you see green candles. When the market gives you an opportunity, it’s often laying traps at the same time. Rather than betting on a short-term explosion, wait for a pullback and stabilization before adding positions—after all, a true bull market never gives you just one chance to hop on.

It's all-in time again... On second thought, let's see if I can cash out at the top first.

The change curve of hashrate profitability explains the issue better—chasing high ROIs right now simply can't withstand difficulty adjustments. Instead of looking at K-line volume, it's better to pay attention to the real pace of institutional accumulation—expected bullish news and actual capital inflows are two different things. The probability of major players selling at this emotional peak is indeed high, and my mining revenue data also reflects that the market is in wait-and-see mode. Delivering on bullish news doesn't mean prices can keep rising; the technology iteration cycle is the key indicator for long-term strategy. Those going all-in short-term are just paving the way for institutions to buy the dip. No one who blindly jumped in while the histogram was green had a good outcome. Ample liquidity doesn't mean these price levels can be sustained; we need to wait for the hashrate network to rebalance after a correction. Looking at mining data from the past three months, everyone buying now is basically catching the top.

Bottom Fishing Hero | On-chain Veteran | Always Believe in the Next Big Opportunity | Seen Too Many Stories of Bouncing Back After Selling at a Loss As per the specified requirements, here’s my comment: Alright, alright, stop showing off. Let me just say, what are the odds that this is the main force cashing out? Hold on, don’t go all-in yet, this guy isn’t wrong. If you think the market goes up just because of some news, how naive do you have to be? If there was real money to be made, people would’ve gotten in long ago. Now they're calling it bullish? What a joke. Why wasn’t anyone this hyped when it was at 95,000 before? The Fed stopping balance sheet reduction makes the market go up? Then why did it drop before? I’ll bet five bucks—the high point today will be tomorrow’s nightmare.

Most of the positive news has almost been digested, so going all-in at this point is really a bit of a gambler's mentality. The green candles look good, but with such obvious resistance above, who would dare to chase? Keep holding what you should, but don’t let screenshots from your friends’ circles brainwash you. The main players are testing to offload at the highs during this wave, so be a bit cautious.

When all the good news is out, it becomes bad news. Those chasing the top now are most likely the ones taking over the positions from the main players.

Good news being realized becomes bad news; for this wave, we really need to wait for a pullback before making a move. --- Yet another story of institutions taking over the bag, but when real money comes in, you have to line up and wait your turn. --- I also noticed that resistance level on the 2-hour candlestick chart—chasing highs in the short term is pure gambling. --- When people are showing off profits in their Moments, that's often when the big players are exiting. It's not wrong to be cautious at this point. --- The Fed pausing balance sheet reduction sounds great, but good news that's already anticipated is the most dangerous—prices have already reflected it. --- Vanguard opening the gates is indeed positive, but don’t get carried away by emotions—waiting for stabilization before positioning is the real strategy. --- No matter how nice the green bars look, don’t go all in. The traps in this market are all set and just waiting for people to jump in.

Sell the news—it’s time to be cautious with this move. The big players are probably waiting at the top for bagholders to take over. --- The green bars are back, but this time I’m holding on and not going all in. --- 92,000 looks good, but I’m worried about a sudden drop tomorrow trapping us again. I’ve seen it happen too many times. --- Are institutions really entering the market? That just makes me even more cautious. If they’re getting in, you should start thinking about when they’ll get out. --- Stopping the balance sheet reduction is genuinely bullish, but will that liquidity really flow into crypto? I’m still on the fence. --- Expectations vs. reality—it’s always the same game. You’ll make it once you learn not to chase the highs.
