#大户持仓动态 Yesterday was the same routine again—the market and US stocks experienced a "double kill" of wiping out retail investors, and this has been happening for two consecutive days. The market is filled with a strong sense of panic, everyone is watching cautiously, and no one dares to act rashly.
By looking at the liquidation map, you can feel that $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL are still heavily shorted, with quite a dense concentration. But from the perspective of spot ETF funds, the situation is a bit interesting: $BTC has net bought $346 million in the past two days, $ETH has slightly outflowed by $2.8 million, and $SOL has inflowed $11 million. Besides a short-term slight weakness in $ETH, both $BTC and $SOL are continuously being bought up by funds, especially $SOL, which has seen institutional accumulation silently for several days. This indicates that smart money still has confidence in it.
Currently, the daily chart of the market is still bottoming out. There is an important speech at 10:00 AM today, which might send a key signal to the market. Another major event is the release of the CPI tonight—don't underestimate this data; once it comes out, the market could explode. Before these uncertainties are cleared, I suggest everyone mainly focus on short-term trading and avoid trying to go all-in.
Here are some short-term market judgments for a few mainstream coins: $BTC is mainly sideways, oscillating within the range of 85,000-90,000. $ETH is moderate, fluctuating between 2,700-2,900. $SOL has been under significant downward pressure recently, staying within the 118-127 range.
If you want to trade contracts, here are my thoughts:
For $BTC shorting, you can participate around 87,500, or short on rallies. Add positions at 90,000, then lock in profits in batches at 85,500. For going long, enter at 86,000 or wait for a pullback to buy the dip, then add a wave at 87,500, and take profits in batches at 88,000.
For $ETH shorting, enter at 2,880 or at a high level, add to 3,000, and take profits at 2,750. For going long, buy at 2,730 or lower, add more at 2,600, and exit at 2,860.
For $SOL shorts, queue at 125 or high levels, add to 130, and close at 120. For longs, buy at 120 or at the bottom, add at 115, and exit at 125.
A few notes: Stop-losses should be set scientifically based on your liquidation price and the amount you can afford to lose. Don’t be greedy—take profits when you can. Instead of holding onto losing positions and getting beaten up, it’s better to take small losses and exit. If your directional judgment is correct, you can hold on.

Institutions have been accumulating SOL these past few days, and smart money is quietly laying out their plans; this time might be different.
---
It's another play people for suckers double kill; I'm tired of this routine. Let's see if the CPI can spark some market movement.
---
BTC is just sideways like this; I'll honestly play guerilla between 85000-90000, don't expect any big moves.
---
ETH is a bit weak, not much opportunity in the short term; let's wait and see.
---
You really need to figure out the stop loss thing yourself; don't be greedy and run after making a little profit, or you'll end up getting hurt later.
---
The market is still bottoming out; let's wait for the speech at 10 o'clock; there might be some signals coming out.
---
Looking at the funds, SOL is seeing decent inflows; institutions have been accumulating for several days, feels like it could be worth following.
---
With such a high density of short positions, maybe we should think about whether there will be a rebound; don't get scared off.

It's the same old trick of cutting leeks, really unbelievable these days, everyone is scared
Smart money is quietly absorbing SOL, I understand the institution's move this time
CPI is about to explode, let's just play it safe today and not rush into trades
BTC is just sideways and dull, not interesting, wait for signals before acting
ETH has been weak these past two days, don't touch it in the short term
The resistance level at SOL is a bit risky, if 125 breaks, it's gone
Make your profit and run, don't fight the market
Setting stop-losses properly is the key, liquidation is more painful than losing money

Data shows that this wave of SOL accumulation is quite interesting; institutions are quietly positioning themselves, worth paying attention to this logic.

Here we go again, after double kills, do we have to wait to be smashed? I can see that SOL is accumulating, but BTC's sideways movement is also too boring. Waiting for the CPI to trigger a market explosion.

Here comes the double kill again to wipe out the retail investors. Are you tired of this routine? Do you really think we are just a cash machine?
SOL has been showing some interesting accumulation these days. What are the institutions plotting?
BTC has a net buy-in of 346 million. Smart money is still smart money. We need to follow and eat the gains.
Setting stop-loss scientifically is really important; otherwise, going all-in and waiting for liquidation is a bloody lesson.
CPI will reveal its true colors tonight. By then, those who need to cut will still cut—there's no way around it.
ETH is so weak; it seems there are no short-term opportunities. Let's wait and see.
I remember these contract positions, but honestly, I still feel the risk is high. Take small profits and then exit quickly.
