Bitcoin’s recent move has been pretty aggressive—bouncing straight from a low of $83,800 in early December to above $94,000, forming a textbook V-shaped reversal. On the daily chart, the MACD just made a bullish crossover, and the price is back above the 100-hour moving average, so technically things are indeed recovering.



But don’t get too excited just yet. Market sentiment is still pretty divided: the Fear & Greed Index is only at 28, squarely in the “fear” zone. There are several forces at play behind this rebound—renewed expectations of a Fed rate cut, some traditional financial institutions starting to soften their stance (Bank of America even suggested clients allocate 1%-4% to crypto), plus on-chain data shows whales have started accumulating again after the recent crash.

The big question now: can this rally continue? The key is the resistance zone between $93,500 and $94,200. If it breaks through with volume, there might be more upside ahead; but if it fizzles out after a quick push, we’re likely in for another pullback.

A few trading reminders:
• Don’t go all-in. Test the waters with just 1%-3% of your total funds—at these levels, the risk/reward isn’t especially attractive.
• Watch the macro picture. Any moves in US economic data or Fed policy could instantly change the game.
• Stay alert. Technicals are recovering, but market sentiment hasn’t fully turned yet—this is when nasty surprises happen most often.

Bottom line, we’re at a critical crossroads—it could break out to a new bull run, or we could see another deep correction. Don’t let the short-term rebound cloud your judgment; managing your position size is more important than anything else right now.

Breaking through 94k is real, but this fear index of 28 just makes me uncomfortable no matter how I look at it. Whales are accumulating, banks are encouraging people to get in... feels like the same old routine again. I agree with the advice not to go all-in, just test the waters with 1%-3%, and leave the rest to see what the Fed does.

Damn, got reversed again. If 93,500 isn't broken through, it's just a false prosperity. --- Even Bank of America is softening up? Then institutions are really starting to get in, but with the index at only 28 I'm still a bit scared. --- Are the whales accumulating? So should I follow? The problem is I don't have that much money, haha. --- A textbook V-shaped reversal, but why do I still feel like it's going to dump? Maybe I'm just a contrarian indicator. --- How many times have we said not to go all-in, but at critical moments someone still does, and then the community blows up. --- Volume is what really matters. If this move up isn't supported by volume, it's just a paper tiger—wait for the pullback. --- Golden cross, golden cross, tons of technical indicators, but if the Fed so much as coughs, everything has to be reset—why bother with these? --- Fear index is at 28, so this is actually the time to slowly get in. When you're scared, it's often an opportunity. --- I've listened to the advice to control my position size, but when I see others doubling their money, I still feel regret. That's human nature. --- This time is different, this time really is different... I said the same thing last year.

Hey wait, is the signal about whale accumulation for real? Whale movements usually mean something... but this time feels different. Is that 93,500 resistance zone really that critical? Or is it just another trap to make me go all in? No wonder the Fear Index is only at 28, damn, I’m actually getting a bit anxious. The Fed is going to cut rates again? So the crypto market is about to go crazy again, right? This rebound feels a bit shaky... I’ll just hold and watch for now.

The index is only 28? This is a signal that the whales are frantically buying the dip, haha.
