The recent market fluctuations have indeed been widening. After observing for several days, I noticed an interesting phenomenon—traders in the East and West time zones seem to be going against each other. When the Eastern Hemisphere wakes up, they turn bearish; when the Western Hemisphere comes online, they turn bullish. The side that becomes more active first can short-term dominate the market. The trends of major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and BNB are especially obvious, with prices seeming to sway with the switching of major trading sessions. Even more painfully, the market consensus that once existed now seems to be loosening, and everyone's expectations are becoming increasingly fragmented. In this situation, trading indeed requires more patience to seize opportunities rather than blindly following the trend.

BTC0,75%

ETH1,75%

BNB0,59%

The story of the East and West time zones singing off-key is really incredible. I've been pondering this over the past couple of days as well. The market swings like a pendulum back and forth; whoever wakes up first wins. This logic is a bit shaky. Fragmented consensus is real. Now everyone is talking past each other, making it difficult to find common ground. Patience to bottom fish? Easier said than done. Who can withstand such fluctuations? Time zone arbitrage? As small retail investors, we can't even save on trading fees. Don't dream about it. When looking at charts, do you have to adjust for time zones and jet lag? It's exhausting, brother. This round of BTC operations is incredible. It feels like they're just waiting for retail investors to get shaken out. Losing consensus is the most terrifying. Without it, no one can make big money.

The two time zones in the East and West are fighting each other, and the market looks like a pendulum. --- Now it's better, with no consensus and fragmentation becoming the norm. --- Instead of waiting for the time zone switch, it's better to find your own rhythm. --- BTC is being torn apart by players on both sides, and retail investors are the ones losing. --- Patience? Haha, I ask who has the leisure to wait. --- I've noticed this phenomenon early on; right after the US market opens, there's a reverse move. It's quite interesting. --- So now, going long or short is quite difficult; it depends on who reacts faster. --- Market fragmentation actually makes trading easier; a contrarian approach.

Haha, two time zones competing, it's like a real-time arbitrage show. The market being messed up by time zones is truly outrageous. Is the consensus broken? Then let's each fight our own battle. Anyway, following the trend only leads to quicker death. This round requires patience and endurance, not a gambler's moment. Empty on the east, abundant on the west, and we in the middle just watch the show. Time zone rotation dominates the market, hilarious, the market is just so realistic. In fragmented expectations, trading requires a steel-hearted mindset.

East Asia wakes up and dumps the market, Americans open and push it up again. This rhythm is making me dizzy.

Huh, is the east bearish while the west is bullish? That's exactly what I say every day in the group—whoever is active gets to speak. The market is divided by regions, after all. Wait, wouldn't it be more profitable if I do the opposite? Just kidding... right? The fragmentation of consensus really makes it seem like everyone is gambling rather than observing.

Haha, this is the true picture of time zone arbitrage. I experience it every day. When I wake up in the morning, I see that Europeans have hit the market again last night. East and West are at odds, and the market becomes a teeter-totter. Fragmented consensus is the real annoyance. Now no one knows who is right. Instead of chasing the trend, it's better to sleep. Anyway, it's not too late to check when you're awake. This time, we really need to stay calm. Opportunities are in the chaos.
