Mr. Xiaolong's Today's Perspective ——Why has Bitcoin been so volatile lately? Recently, many friends have been asking the same question: why can't Bitcoin go up or down, as if it's stuck. My observation is that it's not that the direction is unclear, but that both long and short sides can't move. Combining on chain data and disk structure, I have broken down five levels of reasons. 1. The chip structure is undergoing a transition from old to new On chain data shows that long-term holders and whales are buying at low prices, while short-term holders and retail investors are selling. Every drop has a large fund taking over, and every rebound has a small fund unwinding and leaving. The two forces cancel each other out, and the price keeps spinning in place. This is not a long short game, it's a handover between two generations of holders. 2. ETF institutions repeatedly churn, not trend funds Over the past month, ETF net inflows/outflows have been frequently fluctuating, with buying today and selling tomorrow without sustainability. This indicates that ETF funds are not engaged in directional allocation, but rather in short-term arbitrage or hedging. They are not determined to go long or short, and cannot form a sustained push on prices. 3. Stock capital game, absence of incremental funds Stablecoins have not flowed into exchanges on a large scale, the premium of Korean kimchi remains negative, and Asian retail funds have not returned. The market is supported by existing funds, without any new forces breaking the balance. The real bottom fishing main force has not yet entered the field. 4. On chain cost structure forms' magnetic attraction effect ' The current price is in the range of 63000-64000, which happens to be at the cost center of holding a large number of chips. The average cost for short-term holders is about 63500, while the cost for long-term holders is about 55000-58000. Price is rising, facing the pressure of short-term selling and releasing of trapped stocks; The price is falling, facing bargain hunting from long-term holders. There is resistance and support both up and down, and the price is naturally "sucked" in the middle. 5. The negative correlation between the Chicago Board Options Exchange volatility index and BTC is converging The Chicago Board Options Exchange volatility index of the US stock market has been continuously declining recently, and a rebound in risk appetite is usually favorable for BTC. But this time, BTC did not strengthen in sync with risky assets, indicating that the game logic of the cryptocurrency market itself has overwhelmed macro transmission. A real turnaround requires new drivers within the cryptocurrency market, rather than relying on external macro sentiment. comprehensive judgment The current ink market of BTC is essentially the result of the combination of three factors: "stock game+cost magnetic attraction+catalyst vacuum". Direction judgment: It is highly likely that there will be short-term fluctuations within the range of 62000-65000. The true trend market requires the entry of new funds to trigger. Best Strategy: (1) Sell high and buy low within the range, do not chase the rise and kill the fall; (2) Focus on the inflow of stablecoins and the premium of Korean kimchi, which are indicators of incremental funds; (3) Before the catalyst appeared, patience was more important than judgment. Under what conditions do you think the current ink market of Bitcoin will be broken? Welcome to the comment section to discuss your judgment.
