This round of market compression is quite severe. Bitcoin rebounded from 80,000 to above 90,000 after hitting bottom, and is now repeatedly contesting the critical support level around 90,500. Holding this level is the key to the pattern; breaking below requires a reassessment.

Interestingly, gold and silver have recently experienced a sudden plunge, and the flow of funds has become a crucial issue. According to historical patterns, when precious metals undergo significant corrections, funds in safe-haven assets will inevitably seek new outlets. Will the crypto market become the next reservoir? The pendulum effect is not yet obvious, but the possibility is increasing.

The most interesting aspect remains the performance of the US core CPI—what does a lower-than-expected figure imply? It suggests that although the rate cut cycle is slow, it is indeed approaching. Once this signal is confirmed, the release of liquidity will no longer be speculation but a market law. At that point, the opportunities for the crypto space could be quite substantial.

Gradual digestion of negative news, subtle loosening of liquidity, and macro expectations hinting at easing—these three factors stacking up may make patient holding meaningful in the short term. Of course, the premise is to hold onto these key support levels. What’s your view? Bullish or bearish?

95,000 this threshold is really a tough nut to crack; either break through or surge upward, there's no room for hesitation. I've been paying close attention to the plunge in precious metals; funds are limited, and they need a destination. Whether the crypto market can handle it is another story. Is the interest rate cut cycle approaching? Haha, it depends on how the Federal Reserve plays it. Data can be the biggest deceiver.

90,500 this threshold is indeed hard to break, once it falls below, it feels like it will be corrected down to 85,000. Precious metals plunging and turning to the crypto market? The logic sounds good, but considering the uncertainty, funds won't be foolish enough to put all their eggs in one basket. If CPI data truly comes in below expectations, it would be a bullish signal, but I don't really believe this wave can rise directly; there might be repeated tests. Short-term holdings can be considered, but I'm worried about a sudden black swan event, which could just wipe everything out.

95,000 this key level is really a bit fierce. If it breaks below, I need to reconsider the holding ratio. Precious metals plummeting? Gold and silver crashing—I saw this coming. Funds flowing into the crypto market? Sounds good, but this shift isn't that quick. Expecting interest rate cuts is a good thing, right? Just worried it might be a bull trap; there have been too many historic fake-outs. Holding the support level is the key, otherwise all the talk is useless. Did the US CPI really come in below expectations? It depends on the specific numbers; otherwise, it's all just talk. This wave of market movement is tightly constrained, making both bulls and bears uncomfortable. I’m not convinced liquidity is easing; let’s wait for actual policies to see. Positioning still depends on risk tolerance—don’t be brainwashed by the "liquidity injection" theory. Precious metals plunging doesn’t necessarily mean the crypto market will rise; they are two different things.

9.05 is really the critical point; breaking it would be very unfavorable. I'm still skeptical about the metal plunge—can funds really be so obedient and flow into the crypto market? A CPI below expectations is indeed a positive sign, but will the interest rate cut cycle happen just like that? We still need to wait for the dust to settle. Short-term holdings do make sense, provided you don't chase the highs. For now, let's wait and see.

The 90,500 mark is also on my watch. To be honest, if it really breaks, I won't panic. After all, I already lost a lot three years ago, and I've gotten used to it by now, haha. As for the plunge in precious metals, I do think funds need to find a place to go. The crypto market has a pretty good chance of being chosen, after all, liquidity is right here. I'm most optimistic about CPI; once interest rate cuts are confirmed, it's really going to change. By then, people who regret not stacking more coins will probably be lining up around the corner.

95,000 this threshold will probably require several attempts to break through; the big players are not done playing yet. This round of precious metal plunges may not be a good sign. What does it indicate? It shows that institutions are reducing their positions in safe-haven assets, and the crypto circle still has to wait for more buyers. The expectation of interest rate cuts is indeed a positive signal, but don’t be fooled by this story. How many times in history has a positive trend turned into a negative one once the good news is exhausted? Talking about holding the support level sounds nice, but the problem is that when prices fall, no one can hold the line—they’re all cutting losses and fleeing.

9.05K this line really needs to be held, otherwise the mentality is prone to explode The gold and silver plunge was interesting, funds definitely need to find an exit The interest rate cut cycle has arrived with liquidity easing, this wave might really take off As soon as the CPI data is released, it becomes clear, now it's just waiting for signals Bull or bear? I think right now it's just about holding the support level Gold and silver are falling so sharply, money is definitely flowing into the crypto space, this logic makes sense Hold the overall situation, don’t overthink

9.05K this threshold is really hard to hold, feels like it's repeatedly grinding people down The gold plunge is a real signal, funds are looking for new places to put their money Once the rate cut is implemented, the coin will have to fly; now we just wait for the CPI data If you can't hold 90,000, don't force it; reassessing isn't shameful There is a noticeable loosening in the liquidity situation, but don't overestimate it The seesaw effect sounds nice, but in reality, it's still a bet on rate cuts This round of market rhythm is a bit strange, beware of black swans Holding positions at support levels is correct, but stop-loss should also be considered It's hard to say how much the crypto market can absorb when precious metals are crashing CPI data is the real boss; everything else is just a side act
