Morning Market Report | January 21

Today's market is indeed a bit tug-of-war. Bitcoin continues to weaken, and the recent rally from yesterday now looks suspicious. Looking back, last week's surge resembles a major institution manipulating the market, with the entire rhythm exuding a cliché "whale" style—first pushing up, then gradually distributing at high levels, trapping retail investors.

Bitcoin continues its downward trend, with limited room for short-term rebounds. Ethereum's performance is also lackluster, with no notable highlights on the daily chart.

In the current market environment, it is indeed difficult for ordinary investors to find definitive opportunities. There is a huge gap between institutional chip layout and retail expectations, which is why many feel that making money in this market is so challenging. It is recommended to continue observing the performance of key support levels and wait for clearer directional signals before taking action.

Laughing and then crying, caught again --- Institutions' methods are truly brilliant; we are just the leeks in their plate --- That surge last week was really incredible in hindsight, a classic foodie move --- Where is the support level? I need to know how far I can run --- Ethereum too, the daily chart with no highlights is the biggest highlight --- Wait, how many times has it been this year to "wait for a clear signal"? --- The gap, you see, retail investors are always at the bottom of the ditch --- It's difficult, right? Then just keep observing, anyway, can't make money --- What’s the situation now with the wave I bought yesterday? Don’t ask me --- Bitcoin is weakening, my account is weaker, perfectly synchronized

the algorithmic transmutation of value continues its descent... institutions reshuffling their yield curves while we mortals watch the liquidity drain. this is financial alchemy at its cruelest, ngl

Got cut again, this rhythm is obvious to see through Do institutions really play us like this? Wait and see, anyway it's hard to tell right now Retail investors vs. institutions, it's always the same story The rise that was praised yesterday has become a trap for everyone today If the support level breaks again, consider stopping the loss This market is really crazy, making money is even harder than finding a girlfriend
