Bitcoin stabilizes around $92,000, with divergent market opinions. On one hand, strong ETF buying provides support; on the other hand, US-EU trade tensions lead to large position liquidations. Optimists see this as a sign of risk asset rotation, while pessimists worry about increased volatility ahead. With many uncertainties in the market, holders should be mentally prepared.

【Crypto World】Bitcoin recently stabilized around the $92,000 mark, and the market landscape is quite interesting—on one side, ETF continuous buying provides strong support, while on the other side, US-EU trade tensions have led to over $800 million in liquidations. Is this rally the start of a rebound or just a fleeting moment? Opinions within the community vary. Optimists say this is an early signal of risk asset rotation, but some are skeptical, believing that volatility will dominate the market moving forward, and institutional investors are looking for downside protection before bottoming out.

There are quite a few catalysts. On the macro level, trade policies are still uncertain, regulators’ stance on cryptocurrencies remains vague, and recent global tariff issues await judicial clarification. These are all uncertainties hanging over the market. In the short term, any movement in these factors could trigger increased volatility. Holders should be mentally prepared.

$92,000 this position is really a tug-of-war, ETFs are buying while institutions are selling, this show is quite interesting Liquidation of $800 million? Here we go again, waiting for macro trends, trade friction is not playable While institutions are looking for protection, retail investors are still dreaming. Whether it's rotation or false signals, it's hard to tell I've seen this routine of regulatory ambiguity many times, always messing around like this If you don't bottom fish, just wait patiently. Anyway, volatility will definitely be high, better to be prepared to lose money first

92,000 still depends on institutional attitude. Buying ETFs is one thing, but the recent liquidation was a bit harsh. It feels like they're still testing the waters repeatedly.

92,000-level stalemate, it feels like playing a seesaw—ETF is desperately trying to push up, while liquidation is smashing down hard. Are institutions all looking for downside protection? Honestly, they haven't decided yet. Who the hell really dares to go all in? Policies change three times a day, and I can't understand what the regulators really want to do. Holding coins is just a gamble mentality.

92,000 is really stuck at this level, ETFs are pushing the market while institutions are supporting it, but what I care more about is that 800 million liquidation... indicating that the bottom hasn't been reached yet. Do you really dare to go all in?
