After weeks of ranging consolidation, Bitcoin finally broke through. The extended sideways action? It cleaned out both bullish and bearish traders, draining momentum from all sides. This isn't just random chop—structured consolidation typically precedes directional moves. Now BTC has decisively resolved to the upside with a clean breakout and sustained follow-through. The technical structure has flipped bullish. That's textbook continuation setup.

Here we go again with this routine? Every time they talk about technical analysis turning bullish, and what happens? Just a slick play to harvest retail investors.

Looking at those retail investors who were wiped out by wash trading, I just want to laugh. What do they mean by "structured consolidation"? Isn't it just the big players dumping their holdings? On-chain data shows that last week's sell-off involved three whale addresses transferring 4,200 BTC to exchanges. Now they're talking about a textbook setup—wake up, everyone.

It's the same pattern again—oscillating shakeout—breakout upwards, the old routine. The problem is, how much more tuition do we, the retail investors, need to pay to finally understand this "textbook-level" trend?

Another technical analysis trying to cut the leeks? Last time I heard this kind of statement, Bitcoin dropped directly by 20%.

Another "textbook-level" breakdown? I like this move, but don't forget, I said the same thing last time.

Consolidation is just frustrating; finally breaking the level is not easy.

Here comes another one to shake out retail investors like me. I looked at the candlestick chart, and after the shakeout, they start telling stories.

It's the same story again: accumulate at the bottom to shake out retail investors, then it can rise? I think, this breakout might just be a false breakout.
