Bitcoin hovering around $95K — pullback or just noise?

The numbers tell an interesting story. We hit a low of $94,837 with relatively thin liquidity, but here's what caught our attention: 84% of BTC supply is still in profit. That's not panic selling territory.

What we're seeing looks more like profit-taking than capitulation. Traders booking gains at higher levels, the kind of healthy consolidation you'd expect before the next move.

The real test? $92K holds as key support. If macro thesis stays on track — and major players like certain industry figures and analysts are still calling for $200K+ targets — then this could just be the reset before another leg higher.

So the question isn't whether Bitcoin goes down. It's whether it's clearing the deck for what comes next.

84% still in profit, this isn't panic, it's a dance before clearing out --- If 92K can't hold, I'll cut losses; talking about 200K is useless --- It's the old routine of "healthy adjustment." When have you ever seen an unhealthy one? --- Clearing the deck, huh? I think it's just a scam to lure retail investors in --- Really? Are we about to see a 1000x return story again? --- I'm most afraid of low liquidity; a big order can break through easily --- Waiting to see if 92 can hold, everything else is just nonsense --- Those in profit are running, and they still talk about healthy consolidation? --- I'm tired of hearing about the 200K target; let's first get past 95K before bragging --- This wave is just a time to unload; don't be brainwashed

84% still in profit? Then just hold on, no need to panic --- 92K being broken is the real issue, but it's still early --- It's the same old story of "liquidate to prepare for the next round," I've heard this for a year haha --- No one knows if the market will clear out, but I’m not selling anyway --- With such thin liquidity, it's too easy to crash the market --- Who believes in the 200K target? Let’s see if we can reach 100K first --- Is it time to scoop up the bottom? Or continue to wait and see... --- 84% profit indicates what? Should have reduced positions long ago --- If support levels can't hold, you'll fall behind, but this time it feels like someone is defending the market --- Profit taking is normal, just worried about a sudden plunge with no buyers

84% still in profit, this is the real confidence, what’s the point of a pullback --- If 92K can't hold, then we'll talk. What are we hyping now? --- Those who have liquidated and run early have already left. Now it's just chip rotation, nothing major --- Instead of guessing ups and downs, it's better to watch who is adding positions. Big players' actions are more useful than just talking tough --- Thin liquidity at low levels indicates no one is panicking, I believe in this --- People keep talking about 200K every day. Let's talk after surpassing 92K --- Healthy correction? Ha, as long as it doesn't break the previous high, it will go on endlessly

84% still in profit, this is unbelievable haha, feels like I need to keep pushing --- 92K breaking is the real drop, now it's just a shakeout phase --- If this wave is just a small adjustment before the reset, then I'm waiting for 200K --- Under thin liquidity, dropping to 94K still claims low risk? I don't believe it --- Should I clear out or accumulate? The key is whether 9.2 can hold or not --- Once again, positive expectations support the situation, a typical illusion of consensus --- Instead of guessing whether it can rise, it's better to see if institutions are bottom-fishing --- 84% still making money, then that 20% probably got wiped out... --- Is $92K really a support level? Feels more like a psychological level --- I'm tired of hearing about the 200K target, can we first stabilize at 95?

84% still profitable? Then my 20% position is really amazing haha --- $92K can't hold, I'll admit defeat, but this recent dip feels like a shakeout --- On-chain data shows this clearly, no one panic-buying means it still has to go up --- It's that same "healthy correction" excuse again, I always feel like I'm getting chopped up --- 200K? Dream on, first get past the $92K hurdle before bragging --- Is it true? If 84% is still making money, I need to build my position quickly --- They always say the same thing about clearing chips, let's wait and see, I’ve already gone all-in anyway --- Low liquidity is a good thing? I think it’s a sign of potential sharp rises and falls

84% still in profit, and that's why I stick to the three-year cycle theory. History always repeats itself, and the current correction is just the buildup before the next surge.
