Last night, the crypto market experienced a dramatic price fluctuation. After the US stock market opened, Bitcoin first dropped to $2,880, then quickly surged to $3,030, only to fall back near $2,800, forming a "天地针" (Heaven and Earth Needle) pattern. Behind this rapid reversal of bullish and bearish momentum lies a deep game of market liquidity.

Every sharp price movement hints at large capital being deployed; every sudden change in direction tests traders' psychological resilience. When you see your account showing unrealized gains, you feel excited, but the risk of liquidation is already lurking; when you panic and cut losses during a decline, the chips have quietly changed hands. This market trend puts pressure on all parties holding positions and represents a thorough two-way cleanse.

The key is to understand the essence of this rebound. In a macro environment under pressure, any rapid rise lacking volume support should be approached with caution. Last night's surge occurred during a period of weak liquidity, which is a typical signal of false breakouts designed to induce leveraged traders to follow. The major players are accumulating short positions through this method, preparing for a subsequent decline.

Currently, Bitcoin is attempting to stabilize around the 2800 level, but this position is far from a reliable support. From a technical perspective, the rebound lacks increased capital inflow, and selling pressure remains. Traders need to stay alert, carefully assess risk exposure, and avoid chasing highs during false breakouts. The market is at a critical stage of direction selection, and the next trend will determine the larger-scale trend.

Another game of pulling the wool over retail investors' eyes, I'm already tired of it. Heaven and Earth Needle? Laughable, it's just the market maker shaking out positions. The most dangerous time is when you're floating profits; everyone understands this but can't do anything about it. 2800 support is pure nonsense, feels like the main force is holding back a big move. Rallying when liquidity is weak? Standard trap to lure in traders, better to stay on the sidelines. Got trapped again last night, really annoyed by these false breakouts. The key is still mindset; don't let a few hundred points of fluctuation blow your mind. Watching others realize profits while you cut losses—only those who experience it know how it feels. Price movements with low trading volume always feel unstable, like playing with fire. Dual-direction cleaning, in simple terms, is killing both longs and shorts, retail investors losing everything.

Was washed again, this wave of TianDiZhen is really the best --- Fake breakouts are the most disgusting, a bunch of people got cut --- Rising during periods of weak liquidity, the main force's tactics are too deep --- Can't even hold 2800, still want to rebound --- Every floating profit is an illusion, liquidation is just around the corner --- Watching profits last night with excitement, now cutting losses and running... --- The macro environment is so bad, no volume in the rebound is a trap --- Leverage traders are about to be washed again --- The chips have changed hands, retail investors are still in the dark --- This position is really unsafe, better to run for safety

Heaven and Earth Needle cuts and people run away, this trick is very old, are there still people chasing at 2900? --- It's another false rally during a period of weak liquidity, always the same every time, wake up everyone --- Can't even hold at 2800, honestly just for the main players to scoop up at the bottom, I'll wait and see first --- Floating profits feel great, but the next second you're liquidated, that's how the crypto world is, the mentality breaks the fastest --- Playing the false breakout trick is really slick, retail investors like us can only watch from the sidelines --- I usually don't touch rebounds with low volume, and this time is no exception, protecting the principal is the most important --- The main players are accumulating short positions, so there's still room to go down later, right? --- Chasing high in false breakouts, this wave might be paying tuition, huh
