Bitcoin's recent trend is quite interesting. It has been oscillating within the $88,000 to $94,000 range, and the ascending triangle pattern is gradually taking shape. Once this resistance level is effectively broken, the $100,000 mark will become the next target.



Let's first talk about on-chain movements. Currently, the whales are holding steady, showing no signs of rushing to sell. Although the price has rebounded, it hasn't yet reached the profit-taking targets of the large holders. The volume of large transactions on the chain is not high, indicating that market selling pressure is indeed limited.

The game of capital is even more intriguing. The main players' tactics are nothing more than "enemy advances, I retreat"—yesterday, they pushed in 600 million to shake the market, enticing retail investors to follow with 200 million, then in the afternoon, they pushed out 500 million to apply pressure. The goal is simple: to create panic and force retail investors to cut losses and capitulate.

On the technical side, the resistance level is now in sight. This repeated manipulation is essentially wearing down retail investors' patience. As long as the big players do not increase volume, the oscillating pattern is likely to continue. Only when the trend line of resistance is broken will there be a real opportunity for a rally.

The current market is fundamentally a stock game. Before the whales truly increase volume, the oscillating market will persist through this phase. The risk of large players exiting has not yet arrived.

For participants, taking profits in stages and securing positions is the right approach. Keep some core holdings to monitor the bigger picture, avoid falling into retail investors' emotional traps, and steer clear of the rollercoaster market. Be patient and wait for a confirmed breakout signal.

It's the same old trick again, oscillating and frustrating.

Big players aren't adding volume, so don't think about jumping in; staying put is the safest.

10K is still early, let's wait for a breakdown signal first.

Whales are not moving, so I'll just lie here; retail investors' money is being drained.

Take profits, take profits, don't be greedy, this time we really need to be cautious.

The manipulators are still messing with retail investors, it's hilarious.

Repeated tug-of-war between 88 and 94, so annoying, better to stay in cash and watch the show.

The resistance level has been here for a long time, it will break eventually, but who knows when.

Feels like the big players are waiting for something, the intuition feels off.

Gradual profit-taking is the right move; don't get caught up in the rollercoaster emotions.

Still testing retail investors' patience, this trick is so old now.

The main force's tactics are really excellent; smashing and pulling to break people's mentality.

100,000 is a dream; let's just stay alive and see a breakout first.

I'm relieved that the whales are holding steady; it means it's not time to sell off yet.

Taking profits in batches is the right way; don't be greedy, everyone.

After such a long period of fluctuation, it feels like either a breakout or continued exhaustion.

If the resistance level can't be broken, it's like a trapped beast fighting; let's wait and see.

Is this wave really testing patience? The main players are just playing mind games.

---

Coming for another 100,000? Feels like I've heard that many times before, haha.

---

Whales staying on the sidelines means there's still hope. Anyway, I’ve taken profits in stages.

---

Retail investor sentiment traps, so on point it hurts. I keep falling for it every time.

---

Whether the resistance line breaks or not is the key; it's too early to say anything now.

---

All these tricks just show they don't want retail investors to have a good time. Classic move.

---

Keep the core position until a confirmed signal. I’ve learned this mindset.

---

Pouring 600 million in and pulling out again, just to make you chase the high. Old trick.

---

Feels like the volatility could last a long time. No rush.

---

The real opportunity hasn't come yet. Don't get scared out by the rollercoaster.

---

Securing profits is never wrong. Greedy ones always regret it.

---

Can 100,000 really break through? It’s a bit uncertain.

Still testing retail investors' patience? Haha, this trick is as old as it gets.

Are the chips held by retail investors really that valuable? The main players are manipulating up and down, and we have to follow with our hearts pounding?

Same old story, only those who can hold on are the winners.

Wait, can this resistance level really be broken? It feels like it's been tested several times already.

100,000 is right there, but it still feels like we need to wait a bit longer.

Oh no, it's that old trick of "pump first, dump later" again. Retail investors' patience has really been worn down to dust...

Still trying to shake out retail investors, huh? Are you tired of this routine?

Let's see when the whales will really start to move.

100,000 is indeed attractive, but this volatility can be deadly.

FOMO traders should reflect on themselves.

If the support level can't be broken, just keep lying flat.

A surge in large holders' volume is the real signal; don't guess blindly.

Retail investors are most prone to panic; stay alert.

Hold your core position and sleep peacefully; everything else is just noise.

Right now, it's a cycle between bottom-fishing and cutting losses.

Wait for a breakdown signal; there's no need to rush.

Still grinding retail investors, classic套路

---

Is it really that easy to break 100,000? I’m skeptical

---

What does it mean when whales stay on the sidelines? It means they’re also uncertain

---

Always talk about taking profits in stages, but still get caught

---

This trading method is played out, can we try a new approach?

---

Just hold the core position, don’t think about getting rich overnight

---

Only believe it when the resistance level is broken, now everyone’s bragging

---

Is the liquidity situation really that simple? Feels like I’m missing something

---

Patience is real, but who can stick to the end?

---

Stock game is just mutual cutting, no one can make big money

It's the same old story again. Retail investors really need to wake up.

The big players had already planned for you to cut losses the moment they dumped 600 million.

Wait until it hits 100,000, but don't be fooled by the fake breakout in the middle.
