Bitcoin remains volatile around $145,000, with market enthusiasm continuing to be hot. Institutional capital inflows show no signs of slowing down, and the technicals display a classic ascending wedge pattern. This formation often indicates a potential short-term correction, with the first support level around $138,000. A break below this level would be considered a true breakdown.
From a macro perspective, the Federal Reserve's policy stance remains a key variable driving the subsequent market trend. As long as dovish expectations persist, the mid-term upward trend remains stable. However, we should not be complacent—short-term gains have been substantial, and profit-taking pressure is indeed present.
For friends who have already built positions, now is a good time to consider taking partial profits; don't be greedy. Newcomers looking to enter the market should consider waiting for a pullback rather than chasing highs, as this will create a more reasonable risk-to-reward ratio. The logic for mainstream coins like Ethereum and SOL is quite similar; patience always pays off.

Here we go again, should have been in the bag at 145000, right? Waiting for a pullback might mean waiting until next year.

145k, you really need to be careful with this position. The wedge pattern is about to break, and it feels like it could collapse at any moment.
They're starting to advise me to take profits again. I just opened my position two days ago, and now they're messing with my mindset.
Newbies really shouldn't chase. If 138 doesn't hold, it's a genuine drop, and you'll be crying before you know it.
Who can figure out Fed's intentions? How long can the easing expectations last? It's a bit uncertain.
Instead of watching the market all day, it's better to wait for a pullback before entering. That way, your sleep quality can improve.

145k is still rising, I’m thinking this wedge pattern should break soon, can 138k really hold?
---
It’s the Federal Reserve again, and easing policies again. I’m getting tired of hearing about it. Will they really start printing money?
---
Splitting profits gradually is so right. The greedy ones are all trapped. I’ve experienced it deeply.
---
Waiting for a pullback? Can’t wait anymore, brother. I’ve already fully loaded, now I can only pray not to break 138.
---
If both SOL and ETH follow this logic, then I have to keep holding. Patience is really hard.
---
For beginners, don’t chase high. It’s too late to say that now. Those who have already entered are all regretting it.
---
I guess institutions are dumping, this rise looks comfortable but I always feel it’s a bit fake.
---
The Federal Reserve’s words can determine the market trend. We retail investors are really being played.

Around 145,000 is just a huge pit; it should have been pulled out long ago.

Starting to talk about the wedge again, old news, the key still depends on the Federal Reserve's stance.
Waiting for a pullback; chasing highs is just asking for trouble.
144k is indeed a bit risky here, but I remain optimistic about the future.
Take profits in stages; don't wait until a breakdown to regret.
Newcomers, I advise you to stay calm; not everyone can catch the bottom.
Let's wait and see about SOL; the risk is too high.

145000 at this level really feels a bit shaky. Institutions are pouring in so much money; who knows when they'll collectively withdraw.

If I had known that 145k was so stable, I wouldn't have sold at 135k. Now watching others make profits while I'm stuck with losses, it's really heartbreaking.
