Today's market is indeed a bit unusual.

Logically, the volatility of BTC this wave isn't small, but the liquidation volume is surprisingly low? That's definitely abnormal. Looking at XRP and SOL, both the long and short positions are quite far apart, but trading activity hasn't kept up. The feeling that both bulls and bears are "watching" is very obvious.

In this stalemate, short-term trading should be especially cautious. All three coins are at this bizarre equilibrium point, and it's hard to predict the direction before a breakout. The low liquidation volume indicates that big funds are also waiting for something; there must be a signal to break this deadlock.

BTC1,44%

XRP1,57%

SOL2,33%

Big funds are all pretending to be dead, waiting for the wind to come.

Big funds are all pretending to be dead. This wave of the market is indeed eerily strange.

Large funds are all on the sidelines; this wave is indeed strange. Instead of guessing the direction, it's better to wait for a breakdown—being cautious helps you survive longer.

Big funds are plotting their big moves, so us retail investors should stop messing around. --- Feels like the calm before the storm; this situation is indeed hard to navigate. --- Wait, isn't a lower liquidation volume actually more dangerous? Feels like a breakout is imminent. --- Both XRP and SOL are stuck here; whoever moves first will lose. --- This is probably a sign that big players are eating up the chips; the grassroots should wait a bit longer. --- Damn, they're starting the "wait for signals" routine again. I'm already tired of waiting. --- It's really impossible to catch the bottom before a breakdown; this time I’ll just stay in cash. --- Both bulls and bears are retreating, which means nothing has been decided yet. --- What are the big funds waiting for? Can't we get a heavy rain already? --- All three coins are at the equilibrium point; a slight poke could break it. I think I’ll stay away.

All the big funds are pretending to be dead, and this is the most bizarre... This situation is indeed frustrating, it feels like everyone is testing each other BTC's volatility is so high that liquidations are actually fewer, I just want to know who is holding back their big move Both bulls and bears are watching, which often surprises people It feels like they are accumulating energy, and once the break happens, it will be over I hate this kind of equilibrium state the most, I can't make a move in the short term at all No one dares to act before the signal comes, life is the most important I'm tired of the tug-of-war between XRP and SOL, I've seen enough of this Thinking about dumping my orders and waiting to see...

Big funds are all holding back big moves, so retail investors should just stop interfering. --- This sense of balance... is a bit strange, wait for a breakdown. --- The liquidation volume is ridiculously low, it feels like everyone is waiting for a signal. --- BTC's volatility is so high but trading is so cold, it's indeed abnormal. --- Both bulls and bears are not moving, like playing chess waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. --- Stay on the sidelines, don’t get caught. --- This situation clearly looks like big players are shaking out the market, let’s wait and see. --- Short-term? Or forget it, this market is too strange.
