Tonight's market movements are a bit heartbreaking. A friend just sent over a screenshot showing BTC testing the 90K threshold back and forth, and that 3K fluctuation candle looks glaring. He's already prepared to cut losses—if we can't break through this level tonight, he's out.
But think carefully, at times like this, the easiest thing to lose is not the price itself, but your emotions.
**Same chart watching, why are the results so different?**
Retail investors see 90K and wonder, "Can we break through this psychological barrier?" But what are the main players looking at? Are they looking at the liquidation positions piled up on exchanges, abnormal changes in large on-chain transfers, or liquidity gaps left by cross-market arbitrage—these hidden "real chip distributions" on the chain that determine where the price will go next.
Relying solely on intuition or a KOL's words to make decisions almost guarantees losses. But if you can see the deviation between historical volatility and current implied volatility, track large on-chain transfers and their correlation with US trading hours, and dynamically observe changes in exchange order book depth... then your stop-loss isn't just "gut feeling," but a rational choice based on probabilities.
**Short-term trading is never about luck.**
While others are still trembling over that 3K candle, you've already grasped the data logic behind this wave of volatility. The market doesn't care how much is left in your account; it only cares about who can access trustworthy on-chain information faster.
Tonight, whether we break through or not, I hope every trader can clearly win or lose—because in this market, money lost due to emotions will ultimately be recovered through cognition.

Basically, it's just information asymmetry. Those who cry and complain about K-line charts every day haven't really seen what's truly happening on the chain.

The 90K level repeatedly tests and probes, and it indeed looks tough. But to be honest, compared to the price itself, what’s more difficult is the mindset — to cut or not to cut, that thought can drive you crazy.

In simple terms, at the moment retail investors cut their losses, the main players' order book depth is already absorbing the orders. The 90K level has actually been a matter of accounting for a long time; the key is to see who has fresher on-chain data.

The 90K hurdle may seem simple, but it's actually testing who can resist emotional trading. Really, this round won't be won by those rushing to cut losses.

Damn, it's the same old spiel again—on-chain data, on-chain data. It sounds good, but how many actually use it in practice?

It's the same story again: retail investors chase emotions, main players chase data. I've heard it too many times; the key is still to have the right tools and information sources.

nah this is just emotional gambling with extra steps. 90k is a number, liquidation cascade is what actually matters. most ppl get rekt because they're staring at charts instead of tracking exchange netflows lol
