#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 The Bank of Japan's rate hike has settled, but the market reaction remains as calm as water—this precisely indicates a bigger issue.

Don't be fooled by this "calm." The underlying logic is actually very hardcore: the Fed's liquidity control vs. the Bank of Japan's policy adjustments, two forces competing to see who can control the flow of liquidity. Institutional investors have long sensed this signal, so $BTC they are being protected quite steadily. But this stability comes with a prerequisite.

The real risk is concentrated on the other end—the altcoins. When central banks start tightening liquidity, the first to suffer are those projects without fundamentals supporting them, relying solely on hot money. They are like standing on quicksand; once the overall environment cools down, they immediately sink. $ETH $BNB Major cryptocurrencies like these still have institutional bottom-line protection, but smaller coins can only fend for themselves.

The future direction depends on which of these two forces has more patience. It’s wise to first observe how the central bank will act next, then decide how to adjust your positions.

BTC-2,25%

ETH-3,61%

BNB-2,24%

Calm? That's institutions eating chips, retail investors haven't reacted yet. --- The Market Stabilization of btc is so fierce, which shows that Large Investors are really panicking. --- This wave of small coins is probably going to play people for suckers, my alts have all turned into muggles. --- Wait, with the Fed and the Bank of Japan going against each other, how far can Liquidity exhaustion be? --- Alts are standing on quicksand... this metaphor is brilliant haha. --- Institutions are protecting btc but giving up on small coins, I understand the logic but isn't this still playing retail investors? --- Let's see how the Central Bank plays its cards before adjusting the Position, I accept this statement. --- I don't know how big the problem is, but anyway, my coins, including those without fundamentals and those with, are all waiting to be taught a lesson. --- So is now the time to stock up on btc? It feels like the signal isn't clear enough.

Starting to say that "calm" is a sign of an impending storm again, okay, let's wait and see how the central bank mom and dad respond.

Liquidity tightening, small coins are really in danger. I already reduced my positions long ago.

Damn, this wave of altcoins is really going to crash. I should have bought the dip earlier, but I didn't act. Now everyone is just here to take over the leftovers.

Honestly, there is a reason why BTC is being protected steadily now. Be very careful with small coins. --- Liquidity tightening is a death sentence; altcoins won't last long. --- Calm? Haha, this is just the calm before the storm, brother. --- Institutions are waiting to see how the central bank will act; we just follow along. --- Projects without fundamentals will eventually fall into the sand, no need to be surprised. --- $BTC holding steady is also good for $ETH, but those meme coins should really stay away. --- Two forces are pulling, and retail investors are the ones suffering the most. --- After this round of central bank operations, positions need to be reallocated.
