【Crypto World】As the US stock market opened on Wednesday, a wave of market activity hit the crypto circle. Bitcoin surged back above $90,000, and the precious metals sector (especially silver) also rose strongly. One of the behind-the-scenes drivers is Federal Reserve Board member Christopher Waller’s dovish signals, which instantly ignited market sentiment.
However, to be clear, this rally looks fierce, but data shows that the truth is a bit different—mainly short sellers are covering losses rather than new long leverage entering the market. In other words, this is a “forced rally,” not an active influx of new capital. The synchronized strength in precious metals further confirms that the market is re-pricing risk assets, and the adjustment of Federal Reserve policy expectations is spreading throughout the entire market.

For short position stop-loss replenishment as an additional volume, I've heard this kind of rhetoric too many times. The question is, in terms of mechanism design, can anyone prove that this wave is truly just out of necessity, or is it just a convenient narrative?

Short position stop-loss recovery, simply put, is crying and taking back the cut losses, haha.

It's just short covering; don't be fooled by fake rallies.

Short position stop-loss covering, now that's the truth, almost caused me to chase the high

Short covering, I was wondering why the rise was so abrupt.
Breaking 90,000 isn't really the bulls attacking aggressively; honestly, it's just those trapped cutting losses.
Waller opens his mouth and the market gets excited—this routine has become too common.
Silver's rally is just ridiculous. Do you really believe this is a broad rally?
When dovish signals come out, the whole market comes alive, but where are the buy orders?
It looks fierce but there's no volume—that's just false hype, brother.
When the Fed gives a signal, Bitcoin jumps—reliance is too high.
Wait, has the short covering finished? That's the real key, right?
