Last night, the crypto market experienced another round of turbulence. Bitcoin and Ethereum fluctuated back and forth in a short period, causing the market volatility to significantly increase. Many traders' sentiments were somewhat shattered by this wave of行情. But this is not an unexpected event; frankly, it is the result of a macro outlook shift combined with technical adjustments, focusing on the release of accumulated pressures.



What are the underlying factors behind this行情? Let's analyze it from three perspectives: macro outlook, technical analysis, and trading strategies.

**The possibility of interest rate cuts opens up, and large investors seize the opportunity to rebalance their portfolios**

The direct cause of this intense volatility yesterday was the public statement by Federal Reserve official Mester. She indicated that there could be a cumulative 100 basis points of rate cuts by 2026. Once this statement was made, market expectations for easing policies were immediately ignited.

The initial reaction from funds was a strong push for Bitcoin to rise, with the price soaring to around $94,500. But the turnaround came very quickly—just at the peak of market enthusiasm, institutional funds began to exit en masse, selling pressure suddenly surged, and the行情 sharply reversed, dropping to $91,300 at one point in the early morning.

This "rally then dump" pattern actually explains a lot: the current big-money mentality in the market is conservative, defensive, and quick to take profits. When macro conditions are still unclear, institutional funds aim to leverage policy expectations as a hot spot to generate liquidity opportunities for cashing out, rather than continuing to increase leverage and bet on risky assets.

Moving forward, we need to pay close attention to macro news. Tonight’s ADP employment data and subsequent comments from Federal Reserve officials could directly influence market risk appetite.

It's the same old trick again—big players pump up the price and then dump, leaving retail investors holding the bag.

Here we go again with this routine, pumping and dumping, are the institutions tired of playing? The big players just run for profits, and we're retail investors left holding the bag. With the hype around interest rate cuts, do they really think we're all fools? Keep a close eye on the ADP data, or we'll get cut again. This market movement is basically a big show of harvesting retail investors' profits, I choose to lie flat.

A typical big investor's trick to cut leeks: pump the price up and then run. Isn't it annoying? Institutions really don't want to buy; they're just creating expectations to attract accumulation. Another false breakout, let's wait for ADP. Interest rate cut expectations are just for listening; don't take them seriously. Start selling at 94,500; this mentality is indeed defensive.

It's the same old trick again, raise the price and then run. Big players are really skilled at playing this game. Institutions are kite flying, and we're chasing the kites. It's truly frustrating. Expectations of interest rate cuts ignite and then immediately dump the market. How frustrating must that mindset be? They dumped from 94,500 to 91,300. Just a few thousand dollars difference. Big players are probably making a killing. It's better to make your own money than just watch the show, but unfortunately we're always a step behind. If you're not clear on the macro, don't make reckless moves. Wait for ADP and Federal Reserve statements. Basically, big funds are harvesting profits while also reallocating their positions. The show is in full swing.
