Bitcoin is currently in a delicate balancing phase. The bulls and bears are at an impasse, liquidity is noticeably lacking, and the Bollinger Bands have tightened, which often indicates short-term volatility will be suppressed — but this could also be the calm before a major move.

Some believe this month could serve as a trigger for a deep correction, with the market offering considerable downside space. This is not alarmist but a reminder that when the pace slows down, it’s often when the undercurrents are the most intense.

However, from a different perspective, the medium- to long-term story is actually unfolding scene by scene. Institutional capital is entering, and the integration of the US banking system with the crypto market is no longer just a concept. All these point to one direction: incremental funds are on their way. Currently, the flow of funds into ETFs has become a key factor influencing market sentiment.

Technical data shows: the current price is at 90512.3 USDT. The key support level is at 90634.1 (actually right at your feet), with the support zone between 89242.0 and 90800.6. What about resistance? It’s in the range of 90748.6 to 92249.3.

In practical terms, near the support level, you might consider placing buy orders; if the price breaks below support, stop-loss to exit. This is a way to protect yourself.

But more importantly, mindset matters. Before the trend is fully clear, there’s no need to rush into chasing gains or panic selling. This phase is about building energy; wait until the trend is truly established before taking action — that’s much smarter than blindly jumping in.

The saying "Deep waters run silently" sounds very comfortable, but I don't know when it will truly start moving. Mindset is the most important, and that's correct, but how many can really hold it? Is ETF capital really that crucial? Then we need to keep a close eye, or we might get caught without even realizing it. The statement "Support level is right at your feet" is interesting; it feels like it could break through at any moment. Incremental funds are on the way, which sounds very promising, but we haven't seen real money entering the market yet. If this wave really pulls back, it will probably be another round of shakeout, right?

When the Bollinger Bands tighten, I know something's about to happen. Just wait and see.

Bollinger Bands tightening does feel a bit oppressive, but this is often the time when the most testing of patience occurs --- Are institutions really entering the market or is it another round of chopping the leeks --- Support level is right at your feet? Then I’d better wait and see, wait for clearer signals before acting --- Every time they say the waters are deep and calm, but then it turns into a waterfall—who can believe that, haha --- ETF capital flow has become the key; I’ve heard this too many times recently, hope it really works this time --- The price at 90512 feels like it’s been stuck for a long time—either break or rise, just don’t want to give a clear answer --- Long-term stories sound great, but you have to survive the short term first; capital preservation is the key --- Looking at these numbers makes me a bit sleepy; maybe I should wait for the right moment --- Placing orders to go long sounds simple, but the psychological pressure during execution is very high --- The most vulnerable to being chopped during the energy accumulation phase, I choose to be lazy

The talk of Bollinger Bands tightening is getting old; every time it's about energy accumulation, but what’s the result? Basically, it means no one knows where to go, so there's no need to rush. Institutional funds? Wake up, if they really enter the market, retail investors like us won't benefit. ETF flows are the real boss, I believe that. Wait until the trend becomes clear before acting, but by then, the gains will already belong to others. Having a good mindset is useless; it all still depends on stop-loss to save your life.
