Yesterday, it was mentioned that many high-profile analysts in the industry are collectively shifting towards a bearish outlook. However, their judgment frameworks are primarily based on technical analysis, with a clear lack of consideration for macroeconomic factors. It is important to recognize that BTC has now become one of the top ten asset classes globally. Relying solely on candlestick patterns and technical indicators to predict the future market is obviously too one-sided.
This is precisely the root cause of the current market "entanglement"—two opposing forces are fiercely battling: on one side, technical analysis points to a bearish trend; on the other side, macroeconomic data remains relatively healthy. This misalignment creates intense swings in market sentiment.
Meanwhile, the US stock market has improved, and gold and silver are surging strongly. Investors' perceptions are rapidly "flipped," with many beginning to view BTC as an outdated asset, believing it cannot keep pace with other high-quality investments. Similar views appeared when ETH fell below $2000.
From a market structure perspective, we are currently in a structural bear market phase. BTC's current price is actually a reflection of a misjudged valuation by the market. The causes of this misjudgment are multiple: widespread emotional feedback from the traditional four-year cycle, short-term liquidity stagnation leading to market apathy, excessive concern over the US stock AI bubble causing valuation mismatches, and so on. Since it is a valuation misjudgment, there will inevitably be a correction—these extreme cold days will pass.
The key is not to follow the crowd.
Now, let’s shift our focus to macroeconomic data, starting with the M2 year-over-year growth rate. The correlation between Bitcoin's price movements and the global M2 supply and its growth rate often reveals the deeper logic of the market.

It's the same old tired argument about technical analysis again. I keep saying you can't fully trust these candlestick maniacs.
Missing out is an opportunity; only those who dare to buy when it's cold make money. Others are shouting that we're falling behind, which makes me even more confident.
M2 is the real key; looking at macro data is a hundred times more reliable than analyzing candlestick charts.

It's the old script of technical analysis vs macro fundamentals again, really tired of seeing it
BT won't become outdated, it's just that everyone has been fooled by the US stocks
A wrong sell-off should be followed by a rebound, this logic is sound
M2 is the real key, optimistic about macro data to rescue the market
Technical analysts really should take some macro courses
What they said about liquidity makes sense, short-term is indeed cold
Still, trust macro fundamentals, don't be fooled by the K-line
This wave of decline is just big institutions scaring retail investors, a classic tactic

Tech enthusiasts are really too obsessed with candlestick charts, they completely don't see BTC as a global asset.

US stocks and gold are both rising, but BTC has become "outdated"? This script is so familiar... ETH also said this when it hit 2000.
---
Wrongly killed? It feels like a collective panic result. Let's wait until liquidity recovers and see.
---
M2 growth rate is the key... Only then do I understand how dare anyone claim to be certain of the direction.
---
It's easy to say not to follow the crowd, but who can hold on during the most pessimistic moments...
---
Structural bear market, just hearing that sounds very authentic. Anyway, I don't believe pure technical analysis can predict assets at this level.
---
Why do some people always think BTC can't keep up with others? Speechless.

The entire tech community is bearish, but macro data still looks pretty solid... This logical contradiction is crazy, no wonder retail investors are swinging every day.
The recent hype around AI in the US stock market has cooled down BTC, but isn't this just history repeating itself... Let's wait and see.
Things that are wrongly suppressed will eventually rebound; the key is who can hold on. I will definitely not follow the trend.
The real story is the M2 growth rate. Too many people focus on K-line charts but ignore this macro play.

It's the same old story of technical analysis vs macro perspective again. It's right, but not very useful.
The only word is—wait.
I've heard this M2 logic so many times, and what’s the result? Still getting beaten up here repeatedly.
But honestly, while others are bottoming out gold, I'm here struggling with BTC. This feeling... those who understand, understand.

Another person who dares to loudly call for a bear just based on technical analysis... They really just ignore the macro completely.
Technical indicators have been played out long ago; M2 is the real key.
Wait, when gold rises, silver rises too, but BTC doesn't move? That logic doesn't add up.
A wrong move should be waited out for a rebound, but the question is, how long will it take? Keep a calm mindset.
Those who say BTC can't surpass ETH, they said the same back then... and look at the result, it's ironic.
Don't be fooled by the false prosperity of the US stock market; liquidity stagnation is the real enemy.
The emotional shock of a 4-year cycle is indeed intense, but that also means the turning point is near.
Some people are just easily led by emotions, which is sad.
Let's wait for the M2 data before commenting; the technical scene is too chaotic right now, with little reference value.

Tech enthusiasts are all watching candlestick charts, macro enthusiasts are watching M2, and as a result, the market remains so conflicted... Anyway, I don't believe BTC will truly become a "lagging asset." Those words can be heard every bear market.
Misjudgments will be corrected, but the question is who can endure until that time.
