Recent Bitcoin market movements are really frustrating. A couple of days ago, I shorted at around 91,000, but the price soared all the way up to 94,000. Luckily, my position size wasn't large, so I didn't lose too much. Today, it dropped again, and this constant fluctuation makes it hard to get a clear picture.

Recently, I heard an interesting statement — the US government claims it won't actively buy Bitcoin but will hold those confiscated Bitcoin assets and not sell them in the long term. It sounds lofty, but essentially, it's just a fancy reason to hold them, isn't it? This operational logic is indeed worth pondering.

The current question is, is there still a chance for an increase this month? When will the price drop back below 50,000? If it really falls to that level, I’d love to buy in heavily. But before that, we still need to see the true direction of the market clearly.

Selling short at 91,000, haha, not a bad mindset. I chased the high directly that day. The US government's rhetoric... is just rebranding to whitewash, confiscation is inevitable, buying it ourselves is also inevitable, anyway, it all ends up in their pockets. Below 50,000? Dream on, brother. This round is going up, hitting five figures is no problem. The suggestion to clarify the direction is good, but who among us can really see it clearly?

Shorts at 91,000 got crushed to 94,000. How strong must that mentality be, haha Waiting for it to drop below 50,000? Probably have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse The US government's rhetoric, I think it's just an excuse for themselves to stockpile coins Right now, this market is really unpredictable. If you don't understand it, just lie low for now.

The US government's stance is basically "we don't buy, but we hold," haha, this move is absolutely clever. Wait, your 91,000 short position got broken through, that must be really painful, but small stop-losses are also considered good luck. 50,000? Brother, you're dreaming, unless there's a major crash, I don't think this price level will come back. Repetitive fluctuations are the norm now. If you can't see clearly, don't make reckless moves. I've just been staring at the candlestick charts these days. The fact that the US government holds Bitcoin actually has little to do with us retail investors. They are playing a macro narrative, so let's just watch the show. Don't be too heavy on the bottom-fishing mentality. Likely no surprises before the end of the month, so just observe for now.

Haha, short at 91,000 and got crushed to 94,000. The feeling... I get it. The US government's rhetoric is just ridiculous. Confiscate or not buy, why are they holding every day? Honestly, it's just hoarding. 50,000? Wake up, brother, it probably won't happen this month.

91,000 short position was directly smashed through, my mentality is a bit崩, this market is really outrageous The US government's rhetoric, politely it's holding, rudely it's just covertly hoarding coins When will the dream of bottoming out at 50,000 come true? Feels like it's遥遥无期 The market is too chaotic, better to wait and see, wait for clearer signals before acting This repeated fluctuation really drives people crazy, when will there be a clear direction

91000 short position gets slapped, this is a microcosm of my recent experience haha Only dare to buy the dip at 50000? Then when should I go in? The US government's rhetoric, just listen to it, who believes it is foolish With the market so volatile, it's safer to wait until you see the clear trend before acting Confiscating Bitcoin and holding it long-term, honestly, is just a form of hoarding coins This repeated fluctuation really discourages me, let's wait for a better opportunity to jump in Is it going to fall or rise? Can you give a clear prediction?

Shorts at 91,000 were directly smashed through to 94,000. This wave of the market is truly incredible; it feels like the market is just playing with us. I believe the US government's rhetoric; it's just an excuse for legal holdings, similar to our retail investors' logic. The 50,000 level might be a bit of a stretch. Maybe we should first see if there's a chance to pull back to 85,000 before making any moves.
