The recent market has indeed been quite volatile—yesterday, when the US stock market fell, BTC actually rose; today, the opposite happened, with the US stocks rallying and Bitcoin turning downward. The underlying logic behind this seesaw effect is actually quite clear.

There hasn't been any fundamental collapse in the US stock market; it's mainly structural fluctuations. Factors like declining credit card interest rates and bank sector earnings reports are influencing investor sentiment. The linkage effect between the financial and technology sectors is reflected here. As for the hot AI sector? There are no substantial negative news. Rather than saying AI is being suppressed, it's more accurate to say that the financial and tech sectors are on a seesaw—when one rises, the other faces pressure.

BTC's performance precisely reflects this sector rotation rhythm. When market sentiment shifts from tech to finance, risk assets will adjust accordingly. This isn't a systemic risk signal; instead, it's a normal market self-correction process. We will continue to observe the trends in credit costs and corporate earnings moving forward.

The seesaw effect is right; it's just finance and technology fighting each other. But I don't think this wave of AI is that fragile; it's mainly about funds reallocating. Sector rotation is nothing new. The reaction of BTC is still relatively normal; the key is whether corporate profits can withstand the pressure.

The seesaw analogy is perfect; there's nothing new about sector rotation anymore. --- That's a valid point, but I still think the recent volatility in the US stock market is a bit strange. We need to keep an eye on credit risk. --- Really? I feel like AI got hit pretty hard this time. --- Market self-repair sounds quite comforting, but I'm worried about a black swan coming halfway through the recovery. --- So should I go all-in now or wait and see? Just give me a straightforward suggestion. --- Got it. Financials are strong, tech is weak, and BTC is trembling along. --- How long can this logic hold? Will next week be the same? --- Wait, you said the financial sector's earnings reports influence sentiment, so why aren't we discussing the upcoming data more thoroughly? --- Anyway, just waiting, there's no other way, right? --- The seesaw is so vivid; now I'm just worried the board might suddenly crack.

It should be pointed out that this set of argumentation framework is essentially using fiat currency thinking to frame Bitcoin, which is far off the mark. On-chain data shows that the volatility logic of BTC is much more complex than the phrase "sector rotation"—you treat macro sentiment as the only variable, ignoring deeper driving factors such as on-chain whale accumulation and contract liquidations. Returning to Satoshi Nakamoto's original white paper: the value consensus of Bitcoin should not be so easily influenced by US stock earnings reports. This precisely indicates that the market has not truly understood the meaning of an independent asset.

Sector rotation is indeed happening, but this wave of BTC is becoming increasingly correlated with US stocks. It used to have an independent trend.

The seesaw analogy I like, it's just the rhythm of idling and looking for trouble... AI has nothing to do but always gets caught in the crossfire. --- No doubt about it, but I still think this wave is mainly institutions cutting retail investors' leeks, just a different name for "sector rotation" haha. --- Wait, no, a decline in credit card interest rates should be good for BTC, so why did it drop instead? The author's logic here is a bit messy. --- It's both structural volatility and self-repair, which makes me a bit confused... Can we just say whether it will continue to fall or not? --- I believe in the financial technology seesaw, but can observing things like credit costs really predict the market? Feels like monitoring capital flow is more accurate. --- So now should I buy the dip in BTC or keep watching... Please give a clear answer, everyone. --- The reasons sound plausible, but the result is losing money. That's the conclusion I get after listening to so many analyses.

Sector rotation? Isn't this just liquidity reallocating its position? The problem is, how long can this seesaw last? Once the cost of credit reverses sharply, the entire game equilibrium will collapse.

Tired of playing the seesaw, when will there really be a big move?

It's the same old seesaw again. When will I finally be able to settle down?

The seesaw effect is clear, but this logic has been repeated several times. Fintech rotations keep shifting, and BTC still follows the mood of the US stock market.
