BTC's recent trend is quite interesting. Since late November, it has been climbing steadily, but senior analyst Alex Kuptsikevich from FxPro bluntly said: to confirm if this rebound is a true bull market, we need to wait until the global crypto market cap surpasses $3.32 trillion.



The reality is quite sobering—currently, the market cap hovers around $3.16 trillion, up 2.5% from the beginning of the week, but still far from the previous high of $3.21 trillion. What's more embarrassing is that data shows that in the past day, longs were liquidated for $376 million, three times the amount of shorts. This leverage use is really smashing the price down hard.

Although the Federal Reserve cut interest rates again on Wednesday, the market simply doesn't buy it. Why? Because everyone knows that the room for rate cuts in the next two years might be limited. Once this expectation forms, the support naturally weakens.

On the other hand, QCP Capital provided a range: by the end of the year, BTC is likely to fluctuate between $84,000 and $100,000. But Bloomberg's Mike McGlone isn't so optimistic; he directly poured cold water, saying there might not be any "Santa Claus rally" this year, and BTC could possibly fall below $84,000 by year-end.

The key now is whether the 90,000-91,000 support level can hold. If it doesn't, we might directly test the bottom; if it does, there might be another push towards the resistance at 94,000. Anyway, recent market movements are truly exciting.

The bulls have been liquidated for over 300 million again. This leverage ratio is outrageous; they deserve to be smashed.

Is it the same old story again? 3.32 trillion is the only number that counts? Feels like the套路 has been beaten to death The bulls are again liquidated for nearly 400 million, this杠杆侠 is really tired of living Holding 90,000 or breaking 84,000, basically it's a gamble on probability. Anyway, I wouldn't dare go all-in The expectation of interest rate cuts has lost its support. This logic is actually quite ironic Santa Claus rally? Dream on, McGlone might be right this time Volatility is indeed刺激, but刺激 does not equal making money. Don't be blinded by the行情 3.16 trillion fluctuates, it feels like hitting a wall and being stuck I think, before the end of the year, there will be another round of turbulence, the true bottom might still be coming

Longs liquidation of 376 million? This leverage is really suicidal Breaking 3.32 trillion is what counts, this gap is indeed a bit awkward Can 90,000 hold? Feels risky This hustle won't end before the end of the year Who are the ones getting liquidated? Such playstyle
