The current crypto market is in a typical consolidation phase, with both bulls and bears holding their ground. Looking at the broader environment, the policy adjustments by the US towards a major oil-exporting country are indeed influencing Bitcoin's safe-haven attributes; at the same time, regulatory pressures and volatility risks within the industry always exist. But what's interesting is that institutional Bitcoin ETF inflows continue, indicating that long-term funds are not fleeing but rather positioning themselves.

In the short term, the tug-of-war for Bitcoin between $94,000 and $100,000 is the focus. Volatility is quite significant, so caution is necessary. If Bitcoin can hold above $94,000, then cryptocurrencies with strong correlation to Bitcoin, such as BCH, could follow suit. Once BCH breaks through the $700 mark, its explosive potential could be quite substantial.

Ethereum's fundamentals remain solid. As the preferred public chain for stablecoins, coupled with continuous dollar-cost averaging by major institutions and increasing staking rates, circulating supply is shrinking. Short-term momentum may ease, but the spot price below $3,000 still has considerable upside potential, especially when staking demand drives a structural rebound.

SOL is particularly worth watching. The meme sector's wealth effect is evident, and this enthusiasm directly boosts SOL's price. Active trading in the primary market continues to provide buying support. As long as meme hype persists, SOL's rebound trend has solid fundamental backing. However, caution is also needed regarding the risk of sharp fluctuations in Bitcoin at critical levels.

Institutions are lying in wait, retail investors are bottom fishing, this wave is really big fish eating small fish --- If 94,000 can hold steady, I will add to my position; otherwise, I will continue to observe. Anyway, no rush --- The Meme wealth effect of SOL has been hyped too much this wave, be careful of the fate of the bagholders --- Wait, can BTC really break through 100K? Feels like it's just oscillating and slapping its face --- A rising staking rate means optimism? I don't think so, it depends on the real on-chain data --- It sounds good, but it's actually just betting on policy windows, nothing new --- Is it better to position below 3000 for Ethereum? Better wait a bit longer; those in a hurry got cut --- BCH has been out of the spotlight for a long time but still being hyped; this analysis is too much hype --- Net inflow of ETFs sounds good, but the real whales are dumping, you just can't see it --- Once Meme hype cools down, SOL will be useless; relying on this support is too fragile

Institutions are positioning? I think it's just a facade for taking over at high levels. This wave of ETF net inflows will eventually be pulled out. Holding the line at 94,000 is questionable. Below 3000 has limited room for imagination... Haha, imagination is one thing, real drops are the real deal. SOL following Meme, once the hype cools down, it's doomed. Don't be blinded by the wealth effect. On the day Bitcoin experiences intense volatility, all correlated coins will be sacrificed. Don't expect anyone to stay unscathed.

Institutions are quietly accumulating, long-term funds haven't really left, which is quite interesting. --- If 94k can't hold steady, it's game over. This round is truly a decisive battle. --- SOL is riding the Meme trend to make quick money. Once the hype cools down, it'll have to kneel. --- Ultimately, Bitcoin still decides everything; others are just side players. --- A rising staking rate sounds great, but liquidity contraction is a double-edged sword. --- BCH breaking 700? I doubt it. Coins that no one buys just can't get going. --- Regulation is always a sword hanging overhead; no one knows when it will fall. --- Ethereum's fundamentals are basically online, but it's still following Bitcoin's tail. --- The Meme wealth effect is just another way of saying harvesting the leeks. --- The 940,000 to 1,000,000 range is indeed critical. Only a breakout will bring hope.

Institutions are still疯狂扫货, retail investors watch 94K anxiously every day, and I笑了. What does ETF net inflow indicate? Long-term players are not worried at all. BCH needs to break 700 this time to be interesting, otherwise it's all pointless. SOL is supported by Meme, come on, if the trend shifts, it will be an immediate ice age. I really want to buy below 3000 Ethereum, just see how long staking can support it. Wait, why is no one talking about the real reason behind Bitcoin's recent volatility? Policy adjustments affecting its safe-haven attribute? Feels like an excuse. Don’t tell me about long-term布局, I just want to know if it will go up or down next week. Institutions buying vs retail cutting losses, an eternal story. Forget it, I’ll keep watching anyway, since I can’t afford Gas fees anymore.
