This wave of rebound is quite fierce. BTC has been rising for 5 consecutive days on the daily chart since January 1st, and on January 5th, it directly broke through the $93,000 mark. Ethereum is also not to be outdone, firmly above $3,200. Meme coins like PEPE, BONK, PENGU, and BOME have surged one after another, taking turns leading the gainers.



From the trend, BTC has not experienced four consecutive months of decline since 2019. This time, since October, it has been bottoming out for three consecutive months, with the lowest near $80,000. Now, regaining the $93,000 level truly signifies something.

The shorts have been severely punished. According to Coinglass data, the total liquidation amount across the entire network in the past 24 hours reached $216 million, with $168 million of that from short liquidations. This indicates that many people bet on a decline, only to be violently hit back.

Market sentiment is also shifting. After more than three months of low levels, the Fear and Greed Index today rarely touched 42, returning to a relatively neutral state. This is a signal—the investor mindset is easing from extreme panic.

Not only the crypto market, but global risk assets are also rising today. Japanese and Korean stocks lead the gains, with the Korean KOSPI index rising over 2.27% in the early trading session, breaking through 4,400 points for the first time and hitting a new all-time high. The Nikkei 225 index soared over 1,100 points, just 2% shy of its all-time high. A-shares also moved higher, with the Shanghai Composite opening up 0.46%, approaching the 4,000-point mark. The Hang Seng Index is also strong.

This broad rally across asset classes usually reflects expectations of loose market liquidity. The underlying logic may be related to the global central bank policy orientations, but it’s not yet clear. However, from a data perspective, this rebound does have some significance.
BTC-2.55%
ETH-3.73%
PEPE-1.69%
BONK-5.79%

Shorts got trapped again, serves them right. Less than a month and it rebounded so strongly, are you really showing off? Can BTC 93,000 hold this level? Seems like we need to watch a bit more. Meme coins are surging ridiculously this time, those chasing quick profits will have to pay taxes again. Wait, global stock markets are rising together? Something feels off, did the central bank loosen monetary policy again? Let the rebound happen, but don’t get too full of yourself. History has shown us that rebounds are often deceptive. A liquidation of 168 million in short positions, this wave of shorts was really beaten up badly, haha. Fear index at 42? That’s what I call "neutral," your standards are really low.

The short position was crushed again, serves them right. Why do people who short never learn their lesson? This rebound is indeed something, it feels like liquidity is loosening. The monthly chart hasn't shown four consecutive declines before, what does this mean now? Meme coins are starting to take off again, exciting. Has it stabilized at 93,000? It feels like it will go higher. Liquidation exceeded 200 million, with short positions making up the majority. It seems many are betting on a decline. The global markets are rising, this is a signal that risk assets are moving in unison. The Fear and Greed Index is at 42, a low point moving towards neutral, indicating a calming of the sentiment.

The short squeeze was really brutal this time, with over 200 million in liquidations haha --- 93,000 stations stabilized, feels like this wave is different, even A-shares are rising --- The surge of PEPE was truly epic, taking turns topping the charts, Meme coins are starting again --- Fear index at 42, has it recovered? Three months of pent-up frustration --- Nikkei soared 1100 points to a new all-time high, it feels like the whole world is easing liquidity --- From 80,000 rebounding to 93,000 at this pace, four consecutive months of decline in the monthly chart is unprecedented --- The liquidity expectation statement is too vague, still unclear what the central bank is thinking --- BTC daily chart has risen five days in a row, directly breaking 9.3K, it’s quite aggressive --- Many people enjoy the joy of short squeeze liquidations, and getting beaten back is well-deserved --- This broad rally across all asset classes must have some logic behind it, but it’s not very clear

The bears are crying and shouting again, 168 million directly exploded haha --- $39,000 feels like a psychological barrier; once broken, the rhythm will change --- Meme coins are hitting daily limits one after another, this pace... be careful --- Global assets are rising together, it really feels a bit relaxed --- Rebounded from 80,000 to 93,000, after three months of bottoming out, there's finally some response --- Fear index at 42, now that makes sense, finally recovered --- KOSPI in South Korea hit a new all-time high? Turns out everyone is bottom-fishing globally --- This rebound is quite fierce, the bears have been taught a lesson --- Even the Nikkei soared by 1,100 points, it's definitely no small feat

The shorts really got hammered this time, with 168 million in short positions wiped out directly, hilarious. BTC's rebound this time is indeed something special. After falling for three months, it suddenly surged so strongly—feels like a change is coming. Meme coins are skyrocketing one after another. Maybe it's time for us playboys to enter the market again, haha. Global assets are rising together, and the smell of central bank easing is getting stronger. We need to be cautious about how long this wave can last. This rebound isn't that simple; there must be big moves brewing behind the scenes. Continuing to observe. Breaking through 93,000 indicates that the bottom has been set. There probably won't be much suspense after that. The fear index is only at 42, still far from greed territory. The real market trend might still be ahead. After such a harsh lesson for the shorts, is it time for the bulls to be overconfident and fail? Korean stocks are hitting new highs, Japan is close too. What does this wave of across-asset rallies indicate? Is liquidity about to overflow? Meme coins are starting to rise one after another again. The rhythm of cutting leeks is about to begin. It's safer to stay on the sidelines.

The shorts got爆 again, serves them right. Even BTC has risen above 9.3K, who still dares to bet on a decline? This wave of Meme coins is really crazy, PEPE's successive surges are a bit outrageous. Liquidity has loosened, and the global markets are rising; this time it's different. It took three months to bottom out before rebounding, they've been holding it in for too long. $93,000, haven't seen such a trend since 2019. Short positions爆 168 million, blood is flowing, everyone. The fear index is at 42, people's confidence is starting to warm up. Is it about to rise again or just a false rebound? Let's wait and see for two more days. Japan and South Korea stock markets hit new highs, we can't help but follow suit.
