Market Sentiment
Over the past year, there have been only 11 days classified as “extreme fear.” Historically, these periods have often been excellent accumulation opportunities — the classic principle of “buy in fear, sell in greed” has repeatedly proven effective.
We are now approaching the end of the traditional 4-year crypto cycle. On-chain data shows that BTC remains in a mildly bearish phase, with a dense supply zone between $106,000 and $118,000, where many holders are likely to sell near their cost basis. This creates strong resistance.
$100,000 remains a key psychological support
$97,000 is the lower boundary of the current trading range
Macro Outlook
The probability of a Fed rate cut in December has fallen below 50%. Markets will closely watch economic data releases once the U.S. government reopens.
Strategic Recommendations
For conservative investors:
Accumulate gradually during market pullbacks
Maintain sufficient cash reserves
Avoid going all-in at any price level
For aggressive traders:
Trade within the current well-defined range
Consider small long positions near support
Reduce exposure or take short positions near resistance
Always set stop-loss orders
