Bitcoin's recent moves, to put it plainly, are just a scam. The price has been artificially pushed up by 3,000 points for two consecutive nights, Ethereum has followed suit with a 100-point increase each night. Can this pace be maintained for a week? At this rate, BTC could easily break through 100,000, and ETH reaching 4,000 wouldn't be a problem either.

But the reality is—whales are just trying to do a few things: scare out short sellers to liquidate, tempt retail investors to chase the high, create a false sense of momentum, and foster a fake bullish market atmosphere. This trick is played out in every market cycle.

The key question is: when will a real bull market arrive? The answer is actually simple—after this major correction ends. The current gains should be seen as a shakeout and consolidation. Once the true bottom is confirmed, that will be the right time to get in. For top assets like SOL, BTC, and ETH, their future performance depends on when the market truly shifts direction.

BTC-3,49%

ETH-4,42%

SOL-4,4%

Back at it with the same routine? The market makers play like this every day. --- Bro, your analysis is the same as three months ago. Has the true bottom been confirmed yet? --- Instead of waiting for the bottom, it's better to focus on capital flow; data is the key. --- I just want to know, according to your logic, when will the market truly turn around? --- Tired of the washout theory, just say whether you’re bullish or not. --- If 100,000 can't be broken, then we keep talking about a false bull market. This logic is a bit convoluted. --- Wait, wait, after all these years, the real bull market still hasn't arrived? What should I do? --- Got it, it’s just continuing to wipe out and giving you guys a chance to buy the dip. --- The leading assets are already showing performance. Do we really have to wait for a perfect moment?

Here we go again with this routine? Every time it's said to be a shakeout, and I end up missing out.

Coming with this again? I'm already tired of the manipulator's tricks, just waiting for the shakeout to end.

Here we go again with this set? Every time you say the true bull market is just around the corner, but in the end, it's still the people who chase the highs who miss out.

Coming back with this again? Every time, claiming it's just a shakeout, but it always ends in heavy losses. Seeing this kind of analysis again, the manipulator's tricks are indeed the same old story. Bro, you've already predicted this before, same as always, just wait and see. Calling the bottom every few days, but when it really hits, no one dares to buy. When will this wave actually reach the real bottom? Who the hell knows. Anyway, I'm not chasing highs anymore. The last time I chased, I'm still stuck in it.

Here we go again with this routine? Every time it's "oscillation and shakeout," wait for the bottom confirmation, and by the time it's confirmed, it has already tripled in value.

Here we go again with this routine? Every time they say it's a shakeout and it'll really rise next time, but it still leaves you trapped.

Always claiming the bottom is confirmed, but a month later it's a new high. I've heard this talk for three years.
