Market Under Currents! In the past 12 hours, the main capital inflow for Bitcoin has been a net purchase of over $12 million, but the situation suddenly reversed in the last hour—an abrupt $1.6 million market sell order was placed, causing the candlestick to form a "bearish engulfing" pattern. This detail warrants caution.
From a technical perspective, alerts are indeed ringing: the price remains above the short-term moving average, but the MACD momentum bars continue to shrink, indicating that the buying firepower is clearly diminishing. The trading volume is even more extreme—dropping instantly from average levels to 27%, with market liquidity being drained significantly. This kind of "suffocating contraction" usually signals that a major volatility is brewing.
Currently, the market is stuck at a key resistance level, with bulls unable to push higher and bears testing the waters—typical pre-storm scenes. From a capital standpoint, the main players are sticking to their old tricks: first supporting the price with small positions, then suddenly dumping to create panic. If the short-term support breaks, it could trigger a chain reaction of sell-offs.
But there's a detail not to overlook—whales' long-term holding costs are still above $80,000, so a sharp decline might actually present a low-entry opportunity.
For short-term trading, it's advised not to fight the trend. Better to miss the move than chase high or bottom-fish. The key is whether the price can break out of the current consolidation zone with volume on the 1-hour chart. If volume surges and the price breaks below the moving average support, then reducing positions is necessary. The market now feels like a spring pushed to its limit—whether it will surge or plunge next depends entirely on how the main players operate.

Coming with this again? I've seen the 1.6 million sell-off many times before; it's just a false alarm.

Suffocatingly low volume? This is the main force shaking out the weak. Don't be fooled by the alarming news headlines; 1.6 million sell-offs can't trigger panic selling. Instead, it's a signal for low-cost accumulation.
Another bearish engulfing? Chart enthusiasts should wake up. The macro hasn't changed; it's just short-term turbulence.
Whale costs above 80,000 are the key. If it really drops, we are all winners. Why panic?
The volume shrinking to 27% indicates that the chips are not dispersed. The main force can't push it down easily. This is a bottom signal.
I agree not to chase highs or bottom fish, but don't be scared out by MACD either. Look at the 1-hour K-line for guidance.
Draining liquidity? On the contrary, it proves that big funds are quietly positioning. Retail investors are still shouting for short positions, a classic contrarian indicator.

Another day of being scared by a dump, but this wave of shrinking volume indicates that the main force is also testing the bottom... A sharp decline is actually an opportunity, stay confident.
Rebirth is never a straight line; those who go through cycles will eventually smile. I choose not to panic.
What does a 1.6 million sell order mean? Even whales with an 80,000 cost basis for long-term holdings are not scared. Why should I admit defeat first?
What’s wrong with a bearish engulfing? It’s much milder than the scene in 2018. Rebuilding the mindset is the main theme of this round of market.
Liquidity exhaustion usually means the night before a riot. The greater the pressure, the stronger the rebound. History always repeats.
Better to wait than chase. Remember, the most important thing when losing money is to stay sober. I have learned this lesson the hard way.
I’ve long understood the main force’s tactics: first smash, then absorb. The real opportunity is hidden in panic.
This wave of decline is actually preparing for the next rally. The law of conservation of energy never fails in the crypto world.

Hmm... $1.6 million sell-off, that's a really aggressive move. But with the main force's cost basis at 80,000, I wouldn't panic if it really drops; I'll buy the dip. I'm just worried about the kind of rebound with shrinking volume—that's the most frustrating.
