#CryptoMarketPullback This pullback has one judge: Bitcoin’s structural level — not your feelings.
BTC losing momentum near major resistance wasn’t random. Price climbed, but open interest expanded faster than spot demand. That’s leverage leading price — and that always ends the same way. Funding stayed positive while upside slowed. That’s not confidence. That’s crowding. When too many traders sit on the same side, the market doesn’t reward them — it flushes them. Here’s the hard truth most won’t say: This pullback didn’t damage Bitcoin’s trend. It exposed bad positioning. Strong hands don’t panic on pullbacks. They wait to see if structure holds. If BTC defends its key support zone and leverage resets, that’s constructive. If it loses it with volume and rising short interest, that’s distribution — not a dip. Stop pretending every red candle is an opportunity. Opportunity only exists when risk is defined. Alts bleeding harder than BTC is not “unfair.” It’s exactly what happens when liquidity tightens and narratives fade. This market isn’t bearish. But it’s no longer forgiving. Pullbacks like this don’t end cycles — They separate traders from gamblers. Survive the reset, and the next expansion pays you. Ignore it, and the market will teach you anyway.
