Recently, the market has been neither complicated nor simple to discuss.

The problem isn't the direction itself, but the sense of helplessness—you always feel it's about to break out, but it just falls short at the last moment. The surge gives you hope, but a sharp decline makes you doubt yourself. Just when you've chosen a direction, it turns around and hits you back.

But if you shift your perspective to the weekly chart level, the situation becomes clearer. The price hasn't moved very far; it's just repeatedly testing the support. This kind of rhythm often appears near important key points—the time window is approaching, but the chips still need to be fully shuffled.

Essentially, this is a transition period at the monthly chart level. Before switching gears, the market's favorite activity is to shake off all those who can't hold on.

You think the risk is right in front of you, but in reality, the true liquidity is accumulated lower down. The area between 2780 and 2880 is not only a gathering place for stop-loss orders but also a zone where sentiment, panic, re-accumulation, and giving up all overlap. So, the market looks stable on the surface, but at any moment, a completely illogical spike could come down. The purpose of this spike isn't to break the trend but to ask: Is there anyone still holding on?

If that spike is immediately caught, and there's no subsequent continuous volume-driven decline, what does that mean? It indicates that the chips that needed to be moved have already been moved. At this point, the market can become cleaner.

Looking above, 3050 is not just a simple resistance level; it's more like a qualification line. If it can't break through, everyone continues to consume time within the range; once it stabilizes, the funds that were watching will gradually enter.

Why is Ethereum more active now while Bitcoin hasn't made a clear statement? Because the market always advances in a tentative manner, but the final decision-making power always lies with Bitcoin. As long as Bitcoin completes its structural confirmation and Ethereum returns above 3100, it won't just be a rally but a signal of a complete rhythm shift.

The truly worthwhile opportunities must meet one condition: when you enter, you already know where your exit is. Orders with insufficient space are useless no matter how many tricks you have.

tbh the 2780-2880 liquidation cascade is exactly where the real protocol breaks down, not the price action itself

Another frustrating market, I almost got shaken off the car Wait, is this wave trying to wash out the institutions? Can 3050 really hold? I bet on it I'm too familiar with the saying "a final push," I almost made it every time Once it drops to 2780, I'll buy the dip, what about you? Bitcoin is still pretending to be dead, Ethereum has played the game of leading out first hundreds of times Don't know where the exit is, how dare to get in? Could this wave be another trick of reverse K-line? Weekly chart is clearly a joke, I can lose money even looking at the five-minute chart Liquidity piled up below? I think it's piled up in retail investors' pockets

Still grinding away... really annoying, always feeling like breaking below but then bouncing back. If this needle gets inserted and no one catches it, it’s going to bleed real bad. If 3050 doesn’t hold, we’ll keep struggling; Bitcoin not giving a nod is pointless. No clear exit, what’s the point of entering? More tricks still lead to losses. Let’s wait for Bitcoin to speak; all this Ethereum fuss is pointless. The chips are probably washed out enough, feeling like we’re about to reach the end.

It's another grind and wait, this rhythm is really intense. That needle prick, can it be caught this time? Feels tense. The weekly chart looks clear, but the daily chart is just torture, indeed. Is the 3050 level really that important? Do we have to break above it? Bitcoin's stance is crucial; without it, there's no hope. Ethereum's further moves are pointless. Basically, it's about waiting to see where the exit is before acting. No matter how smart the order is, it will die without space. It's really a matter of jumping off the train; I find it frightening. Let's wait for that needle to land, then everything will become clear.

Millstone, millstone, it's all about the millstone again. I really can't hold it anymore. Where's the promised breakthrough? Playing reverse moves with me? Wait until 3050, then you'll know whether it's a real trend or not. Actually, Bitcoin is the one making the decisions; Ethereum is just bouncing around here. Only if the needle prick can be caught does it count; otherwise, keep spinning inside the box. Can't figure out where the exit is, no matter how many orders there are, it's all in vain. This round depends on who can hold on longer. If no one can shake off, let's just grind it out together.

Once again, I've been proven wrong, truly incredible. Shake out the bad trades, I've been numb for a long time. Sounds good, but let's see after the needle pricks. Bitcoin doesn't move, everything else is fake. Have you thought about the exit before entering? I go all in directly. Only when it hits 3050 is it a real deal, right now just talking nonsense. I'm tired of hearing about the monthly chart shift; it's more reliable to just lose money. Chips piling up below? My chip accumulation account is in the negative. Looking at the weekly chart? I only look at my loss percentage. Ethereum is really frequent, my stop-loss orders are also frequent. Not enough space and still playing? That hits right in my heart.
