Last night's moves didn't favor either longs or shorts, this kind of dreamy back-and-forth shake has actually played out once the day before yesterday. Currently, market sentiment is a bit tense, and many people are on the sidelines. I suggest everyone not to rush into heavy positions, and it's safest to wait and see what happens.
From the liquidation data, the three main cryptocurrencies BTC, ETH, and SOL are currently favoring the short side, especially with short positions relatively concentrated. Looking at the inflow and outflow of spot funds is quite interesting—
BTC remains attractive, with $346 million continuously flowing in, indicating active buying; ETH's situation is a bit delicate, with $2.8 million flowing out, trading volume relatively small, and investors still hesitant, with a strong wait-and-see atmosphere; SOL's performance is the most eye-catching, with $11 million continuously being bought in, and funds have been entering over the past few days, clearly showing institutional interest.
From the daily chart, the overall market is still consolidating sideways. There are a few more things to watch—an important speech will be released at 10:00 AM, and in the evening, we need to pay attention to the CPI data, both of which could stir the market. My intuitive feeling is that tonight is unlikely to be calm; before the data and speeches are released, the most prudent approach is to trade short-term or swing, and not to hold on and sleep through the market.
From a technical perspective, my forecast is roughly as follows—
BTC will continue its range-bound oscillation, likely testing between 85,000 and 90,000.
ETH faces some short-term pressure, possibly remaining weak, with prices fluctuating between 2700 and 2900.
Although SOL has support from funds, its upward momentum is not yet sufficient, and the price is expected to oscillate and consolidate between 118 and 127.
I will update the specific trading plans and contract entry points in real-time in the community. Interested friends can follow my rhythm to position themselves, aiming to seize this wave of opportunity.

Ha, it's that kind of Russian roulette market again, a sleepless night for sure.
---
SOL is interesting this time, institutions are accumulating.
---
ETH is really dragging down the market; I don't even want to look at the outflow of funds.
---
Don't listen to that nonsense; they started hyping before the data even came out.
---
BTC is fluctuating between 85 and 90, so I'll just go to sleep.
---
Is this what they call "waiting calmly for the situation to change"? I think they're just waiting for the next bagholder to buy in.
---
CPI comes out tonight, and I have to make a new prediction again. So tiring.
---
Funds are flowing into SOL, but I feel something's off.
---
Short-term swing? You're teaching people the art of losing money.
---
Wait, did BTC really absorb 3.46 billion? Is this the start of a takeoff?

Another night of excitement and thrill. The concentration of bears here feels a bit off.
It's really outrageous that SOL is bleeding 11 million. What are the institutions plotting?
ETH has lost 2.8 million. Are they backing down?
BTC is still grinding between 85k and 90k. When will it break through?
CPI is coming, feels like a big move tonight.
Short-term traders will be staying up again. Heart aches for three seconds.
Strong US employment data will indeed shake things up. This data is a bit tricky.
Bears are gathering. Could it be a trap?
Listening to you, maybe I should rest first and wait for signals before jumping in.
This wave of SOL is interesting. Should I follow or wait and see? Still undecided.

SOL's recent influx of funds is quite aggressive, clearly indicating institutional positioning... But I still think the outflow of ETH is the real signal; retail investors' mentality is too fragile.
---
It's another CPI tonight, and some important speeches—your套路 (套路) is so predictable I can memorize it all haha.
---
I bet five bucks that the 85,000 to 90,000 range will be broken through; BTC never makes life easy.
---
Wait, you said SOL is building a bottom and consolidating, but I see it diving? Or did I misread the chart again?
---
I'm tired of hearing "don't sleep on it," but isn't it always the case that I wake up to sell at a loss?
---
Honestly, I'm a bit uneasy about the influx of funds into BTC... feels like the last crazy rush before the top.
---
$2.8 million outflow of ETH? Doesn't that mean even less interest from small retail investors [laugh-cry]?
---
Trying to hit a hundred times again with SOL at over a hundred bucks? First stabilize the fundamentals before hyping it.
---
Swing trading? Bro, you're teaching me how to lose money even faster.

It's the same old story, waiting and watching, playing short-term... Feels like I say this every time, but in the end, isn't it just being caught off guard by overnight data?

$346 million into BTC? We need to dig into the source of this fund; the original address behind it looks a bit suspicious.
---
ETH 2.8 million outflow may seem insignificant, but it precisely indicates that large holders are quietly withdrawing; on-chain footprints don't lie.
---
The 11 million in SOL that entered is indeed interesting, but I want to know which dormant wallets have been activated.
---
Another "real-time update" in the community—I've heard this routine too many times. In the end, it's just the prelude to a rug pull.
---
Is a strong US employment report all that matters? Does anyone care how many institutions are manipulating the fund transfer trajectories behind the scenes?
---
BTC fluctuating between 85K and 90K? I think it's better to focus on those abnormal trading patterns; they are the real indicators.
---
Basically, it's now a capital game—whoever controls the on-chain signals wins; everything else is just noise.

Once again, this kind of oscillating market is really annoying. Neither bulls nor bears can make money.
The bears are so fierce that I think I'll just stay flat and watch for now. Anyway, BTC funds are coming in, SOL still has buyers, but ETH is the most delicate...
Let's wait for the CPI report. Going all-in now is too risky.

It's starting to shake again, this rhythm looks a bit familiar.
---
ETH outflow of 2.8 million, is there any hint behind this?
---
The recent influx of SOL funds, is it real or just a fake move?
---
CPI data will be released tonight, I might not sleep well tonight.
---
Short-term trading is easy to talk about but hard to do.
---
BTC needs to try a few more times between 85,000 and 90,000.
---
A market with no clear favor for bulls or bears, I dislike this the most.
---
Just waiting to see how tonight's data will shake things up.
---
SOL has some potential, the funds are really optimistic about it.
#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 Tonight's market is really a bit exciting!
