The market movements over the past couple of days are quite interesting—yesterday, US stocks fell while Bitcoin rose; today, US stocks rebounded while BTC pulled back. Honestly, there’s no fundamental problem with the US stock market itself, just the interplay of falling credit card interest rates and bank earnings reports, which has no real negative impact on the AI sector—it's just the fluctuation of correlations between finance and technology.
As for Bitcoin’s correction today, it’s mostly due to this—leading industry platforms withdrew support for a certain crypto bill, prompting the US Senate Banking Committee to delay the review of the related draft. To be honest, this information was released early yesterday morning, but the market only reacted during US stock market open, reflected in Bitcoin’s price. From this time lag, it’s likely that institutional investors were offloading.
The core issue remains the uncertainty caused by policy delays. Recently, much of the rally was driven by expectations of this bill; now that it’s delayed, those expectations are left hanging. But overall, it’s not a major negative—further refinement of the bill will continue, and the key now is how BTC moves in the next two days—whether it continues to follow the US stocks’ rhythm or falls into difficulty.
From a data perspective, the previously high trading volume of Bitcoin on top industry platforms has not continued, which does raise concerns that buying power might significantly decline. But on the other hand, US stocks are rebounding today, so if investors can stay patient, the market shouldn’t be too bad. However, if those who recently bought the dip are purely betting on the bill passing, then things could get pretty uncomfortable.
The chip distribution remains quite stable; although the support zone is a bit messy and needs adjustment, considering most of the current positions are short-term chips, we’ll need to wait for more stable support levels. As for early investors who got caught, they still react slowly to price fluctuations, and this pattern probably won’t change in the short term.

Institutional selling is really fierce. The news early yesterday morning didn't cause any reaction; they had to wait until the US stock market opened to dump the market. This time difference is incredible.

Institutions knew the news early in the morning and only started selling off when the market opened. This tactic is old-fashioned.

Institutions really nailed it with the selling. The news came out last night, but we had to wait for the US stock market to open for the reaction—so typical.
The bill delay was an expected disappointment, but it will continue to be a focus in the coming days. The key is to watch BTC's attitude over the next couple of days.
Trading volume is indeed declining, and those trying to bottom fish are probably feeling a bit uncomfortable right now.

Institutions are really cunning, playing the information gap skillfully.
Basically, it's about betting on the bill. Now that the bill is out of favor, those who bought the dip are probably feeling miserable right now.
The trading volume has plummeted, which is the most obvious sign—buying momentum has really weakened.

The bill delay is indeed a bit heartbreaking; we still have to wait and see.
