#Strategy加仓BTC $BTC hitting 97,000 indeed slapped a lot of people in the face. Once Bitcoin truly breaks through 100,000, those long positions below 100,000 will be completely safe— but at what cost? The market makers will have to stay above 100,000 for quite a while. This raises a question: why didn't the whales continue to push it higher last night? It's simple—once it hits 100,000, they have to force all the short positions below 100,000 to be liquidated, which means pushing the price to 110,000, 120,000, or even higher. How much capital does that require? Currently, it's not a bull market frenzy; retail investors don't have that much ammunition for the market makers to harvest. Not to mention the recent black swan event—how many people got liquidated directly? Pushing so high now is like shooting oneself in the foot.



So you see, the price manipulation on Tuesday and Wednesday night was essentially just scaring the shorts. The real reversal will come on Thursday and Friday—those short positions that were shaken out will be fully liquidated. The trends of $ETH and $BNB are also confirming this logic. The market always repeats the same patterns; as long as you understand the intentions of the capital, you won't be scared by sudden volatility.
BTC-2,43%
ETH-3,08%
BNB-1,7%

That's right, this wave is indeed the market maker testing, and the funds are not enough to push directly to 120,000.

This trading strategy is indeed old-fashioned. Once you see through it, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Damn, it's the same old capital game again. It feels like this round of manipulation is really testing the chip positions.

I've seen this trick too many times. Are Thursday and Friday really the harvesting days? Honestly, I'm a bit unsure.

Here comes the "Market Maker Psychology" again, sounds very familiar... But is the capital chain really that clear? Isn't there any institution interested in entering above 100,000?
