Bitcoin finally broke through the resistance range that's been holding for the past two months. Yet market participants remain cautious—myself included, honestly. The 2023-2024 downturn left psychological scars that don't heal overnight.

That said, the fundamentals still point toward a 100k target, assuming the macro environment doesn't throw a curveball. No major economic shocks, no policy surprises—just steady conditions. The technical breakout is there, but sentiment is what's lagging. Once traders shake off that pessimism, we might see things accelerate.

Psychological shadows are truly the biggest enemy; no matter how good the fundamentals are, they can't cure this ailment.

The psychological shadow really hit home; the wave in 2023 truly scared people. Even now, even if there's a breakthrough, I still have a bit of doubt.

Broke through the resistance level, but my mindset hasn't caught up yet... That wave in 2023 really left a shadow, to be honest.

Psychological shadows are real; this rally feels a bit hollow.

Psychological shadow really, I still haven't gotten over it after two years.

Breaking through the two-month resistance level is indeed exciting, but to be honest, I still feel a bit nervous... That wave in 2023 really took a heavy toll. Can psychological trauma just disappear when you say it will? I don't believe you, honestly. The fundamentals point to 100,000? Forget it, let's first see if the macro environment is environmentally friendly before talking. The technicals are right here, just waiting for the retail investors' mentality to improve... Will it really take off then? To be honest, entering the market now feels a bit like gambling, and I'm still on the sidelines.

Psychological shadows are much harder to repair than technical analysis, to be honest.

Breaking two months of resistance and you want me to open champagne? Still have some doubts in my mind; that wave in 2024 really took a toll.

The psychological shadow really hit me. The downturn last year makes me a bit shaky when I look at the K-line now.
