[Critical truth warning] A former institutional vulture trader's crypto survival rules
🚨I am Lao K, a user of naked K technology for 7 years, and I have witnessed how institutions cut leeks for 3 years. Now I will use the on-chain microscope to help you see through the dealer's cards: ⚠Do you remember the Filecoin battle royale of the century? I warned miners of a death spiral 153 days in advance, but the project team dumped the market and 98% of the mining industry was wiped out - the people who scolded me at that time now have two-meter-high grass on their graves! 💎Last November, when everyone was laughing at AI Coin as a bubble, my on-chain scanner captured unusual movements in the a16z wallet, leading subscribers to take advantage of 30 times the market value of AI16Z and other targets - many Twitter KOLs directly copied my analysis framework!
Breakout to $96K? Drop to $75K? How can you tell the market already has a direction? You’re just chasing clicks! The underlying structural parallel between the World War I Battle of Verdun and the market—the gift principle in game theory!
The market is stuck in “All Quiet on the Western Front”: a volatile stalemate amid fierce disagreement between bulls and bears For nearly three weeks, Bitcoin has repeatedly swept through and swung back and forth within the $82,800–$87,300 range, leaving the market’s direction extremely unclear. On the weekly chart, last week closed with a small bullish candle on relatively low volume and a long upper wick. This suggests that after breaking above the previous structural high, the price failed to follow through with a powerful one-way rally. Instead, it has offered an opportunity for a deeper pullback to support and a fresh retest. Looking at the daily chart and lower-timeframe structure, disagreement between bulls and bears has reached a peak. From the bears’ perspective, the price has tested the $82,800 support zone several times, while a bearish MACD divergence has appeared on the daily chart, signaling a risk of correction. Yet on lower timeframes such as the 1-hour and 4-hour charts, the lows keep rising, forming an ascending rectangle or bull flag. At key resistance-turned-support levels, buying support has repeatedly appeared as long downside wicks that are quickly bought back up. Whenever the price approaches the upper boundary of the range, volume shows signs of exhaustion. This chaotic state—unable to break higher, yet struggling to break decisively lower—is like the Western Front during World War I, locked in an attritional stalemate of trench warfare.
A breakout means $96,000? A breakdown means $75,000? No—what makes you think the market has picked a direction? You’re just chasing traffic! The structural parallel between the Battle of Verdun in World War I and the market—the gift principle in game theory! #比特币走势分析
Bitcoin is very convoluted: it can’t push higher highs, and it can’t drop to lower lows. The sell side seems somewhat depleted, but it’s still difficult for the bulls to break through the flag. There’s been persistent selling pressure overhead. So it’s better to watch for now and only act when the trend becomes clear.

On October 1st, PCE-positive news tricked retail investors into getting in—making things even harder for the bulls. Should Bitcoin break down or continue grinding? Why didn’t the positive news turn the market bullish? Micron’s earnings report was positive, but it rallied then fell—I have a perfect holding plan.
A massive-volume cross star hides danger; Bitcoin bulls are in a tight spot In the latest market view, Bitcoin’s daily chart printed a cross star with an extremely long upper wick, accompanied by a relatively rare very large trading volume. From the volume-price relationship, the bulls put in a tremendous effort to push the price higher, but failed to achieve a breakout result that matches that effort. This suggests that the sell pressure overhead is unusually heavy, and the bulls’ situation is becoming even more difficult. By examining the order book depth and liquidity distribution, it can be seen that a large number of buy orders are clustered around the $82,000 area below, creating some downward pull on the price; meanwhile, sell orders are densely distributed in the $84,300 to $85,300 range. For the bulls, if they want to start a new round of upward move, they must completely absorb the sell pressure in this zone and firmly hold above the $85,300 level.
October 1st, PCE good news lured retail investors into the market, but for bulls it’s even harder now. After Bitcoin breaks below, does it keep grinding? Why didn’t good news turn the market bullish? Micron’s earnings report was positive, yet it first spiked and then fell. I have a perfect holding plan. #美光业绩超预期并上调指引 #比特币升破85200美元
1. First, pull up the old accounts On the evening of September 29, I gave two numbers: first, when the market rebounds, look at 85,000; for a double-top neckline, 85,200. I reminded everyone about a potential false breakout and momentum exhaustion. In the morning of September 30, I went through the pending orders again: between 84,300 and 85,300 there were large sell orders stacked up; the real bid support below was lying at 82,000. Last night, the PCE came out. BTC moved from 84,300 to 85,200—touched about a hundred points up to 85,300—and then a long upper wick was used to smash it back down. These two judgments matched what the chart showed perfectly. So when I saw a large amount of spot sell orders appearing in the order book, I opened a short position with a small size. After the drop confirmed the trend, I found a natural rebound high point. Then at 84,700 I added more. I’ve already taken partial profit; the rest is just holding the position. 2. Why good news doesn’t seem to work Two rounds of signals: one was the geopolitical positive from September 29, and the other was last night’s PCE. Each one was shorter-lived than the last. That stack of sell orders at 85,300 got cleared again, along with another batch of chase buyers. Right now, for BTC, good news can only buy you a long upper wick—it can’t bring real money. 3. Lock onto two key levels 82,800 is the short-term examination zone: if it holds sideways, then by moving sideways it digests the sell pressure; if it grinds back and wears through the buying support, it will pierce through. If it truly breaks, then the wall of bids at 82,000—the $9.3 million order that’s been hanging for 8 days—is the bulls’ real trump card. Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls is the last variable. 4. Next, I’ll talk about three things When to enter a short, when to add if 82,800 breaks, and what to do if it doesn’t grind through—video analysis today. $BTC
If a Sudden Crash Happens, How to Set Up Early? A Full Breakdown of Bitcoin and High-Quality Altcoin Extreme Bottom-Fishing Strategies
Order Book Volatility and Long-Short Games: The Real Signals Behind Multiple Attempts Around $82,800. In recent weeks, the crypto market has found itself stuck in a stalemate between bulls and bears amid a lack of major macro catalysts. Taking Bitcoin (BTC) as an example, the price has repeatedly found support below the daily level and has not managed to decisively break below the $82,800 threshold. On the smaller timeframe (the 1-hour chart), price has tested the $82,800 support level seven consecutive times. Although the strength of earlier rebounds has gradually weakened, after the most recent pullback there has been a relatively strong rebound “elasticity.” By examining order book data, it can be seen that during this latest down-move, the funding rate quickly turned negative. At the same time, the contract CVD (cumulative volume delta) dropped sharply as shorts entered the market and increased activity. However, in the spot market, the price did not carve out new lows despite the increase in aggressive sell pressure, instead showing a clear bullish divergence in spot CVD. This suggests that there are strong passive limit buy orders (resting bids) continuously absorbing active sell pressure; the capital chasing shorts effectively became the “fuel” driving the price rebound. That said, since there is currently no clear evidence of large spot aggressive buy orders or the main market-maker building a major position, and because the key structural resistance above at $84,300 has not yet been broken, it is still not possible to conclude that the smaller timeframe rebound has already triggered a larger-scale trend reversal to the upside. In the short term, the market remains in a range-bound consolidation pattern.

Core PCE is coming again. BTC has been grinding on a millstone, and tonight there’s a high probability of triggering one of two scenarios: either it breaks below 82,800, or it makes a fake breakdown by dipping slightly to insert a “needle.” In any case, it’s very likely to move downward for a wave—it's just a question of whether it will reclaim. In this kind of situation, shorting late probably won’t be in time; once the news drops, the price will react immediately. Entering a short at this price also isn’t very safe. If the news is good, even if it inserts a needle, it will likely be quickly pulled back. This price is also near the support level, so even if it dips, that’s the low point you’ll face. So when you encounter a situation like this, what would you do? #$BTC
Testing again 82800! BTC at the smaller timeframe is mostly ranging, slightly weak. Around 82800 there is some support coming in, but we can’t confirm the downtrend has stopped yet. The spot CVD continues to fall, indicating the active sell pressure hasn’t stopped, but the price hasn’t dropped further—meaning there are passive orders being placed to pick it up. Open interest is only slightly increasing at a low level; the rebound looks more like a renewed tug-of-war between longs and shorts. The longs are trying to hold the boundary. Focus on 82800: if it holds and you reclaim 83100–83300, you can look for a pullback to 83500–83600. If the 15-minute timeframe has a decisive breakdown below 82800 and the rebound can’t get back above it, then it will most likely continue to test 82500–82600. #比特币跌破8.3万美元 $BTC
US stocks are split and the U.S. Treasury trap U.S. Treasury yields have gone on a rampage—these traditional giants like McDonald’s have been battered badly, and Nike is down 44% this year! Why hasn’t AI gotten truly huge yet, especially in the Nasdaq 100 (FANG+) segment? The essence is that its explosive growth rate is pushing through resistance; institutions are unwilling to miss their spot. But don’t forget: in the long run, high interest rates are the sword hanging over the heads of all risk assets. Even though Wall Street has recently come out saying that the 10-year Treasury yield would need to fall to 7% for the stock market to truly crash, as long as this AI fervor cools even slightly, the backlash afterward will be extremely violent. Right now, the market is waiting for Micron’s earnings report early tomorrow morning. On the other hand, if Micron’s earnings surge, and if Friday’s nonfarm payrolls employment data doesn’t come in well, then AI could still roar higher. Micron’s example shows there’s still plenty of room compared with the prior high of $1,200. What do you do in this dilemma? Look at how big capital is positioned: it’s risk versus opportunity—both are about strategically grasping the big cycle, and tactically avoiding near-term black swans. #美光财报 #非农就业数据 $MUB
The macro gloom and the low volatility during a turning point have made the market so unnervingly quiet! This is exactly what it looks like right before a storm. Yesterday, oil prices fell back, but U.S. Treasury yields just wouldn’t drop, and on top of that, consumer confidence has plunged. This “economic slowdown + stubbornly high inflation” stagflation haze keeps hanging over our heads. Bitcoin grinding at the highs is extremely tormenting, but a divergence on the daily chart has already appeared. A market turning is very likely to happen within these few days. Have you got both hands ready? I’ve already exited all my futures positions; I’m firmly holding spot at a low price with a 40% allocation. Also, if there’s a rebound back to the high price, I plan to buy put options. $BTC

On the evening of September 29, a sudden positive development emerged between the US and Iran, causing crude oil to plunge. Will Bitcoin and the US stock market avoid disaster at the last moment? Is a Bitcoin double bottom about to form? Where will it go? After the final rebound, will it still fall? JOLTS job openings data will be released immediately! #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号
Late on September 29, news of a positive development unexpectedly hits on U.S.-Iran; crude oil plunges. Will Bitcoin and the U.S. stock market “swerve off the cliff”? Will a double bottom in Bitcoin be forming soon? Where will it go? After the final rebound, will it still fall? JOLTS job openings—being released now?
Geopolitical news brings a thawing glimmer of hope; risk assets rebound in a “last-minute swerve off the cliff” style. As of the evening of September 29, Beijing time in the UTC+8 zone, after a slow downward drift earlier in the day, the crypto market has seen a dramatic surge rebound. As we accurately predicted in our earlier program: in the face of the upcoming midterm elections and approval ratings slipping to around 30%, the Trump administration has strong political motivations to cool down the U.S.-Iran conflict and clamp down on the elevated oil prices. On September 28, Trump confirmed at the White House that the U.S.-Iran indirect talks had been facilitated via Qatar, and he conveyed the “seven-day plan.” Although completely eliminating supply risks still requires the substantive confirmation of production and transportation along the supply chain, this flicker of peace instantly pushed oil prices lower, while also driving U.S. 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields to fall below the Vegas channel. The rapid release of macro risk-off sentiment has become the most important catalyst—like a “last-minute swerve off the cliff”—for Bitcoin and global risk assets to rebound strongly at key support levels.
Early on September 29, be prepared for Bitcoin’s bigger drop! An 828,000 level is very likely not to hold. It’s still not ruled out that there may be one last surge, but it’s already a daily-chart-level bearish divergence. Even Nvidia’s share buyback news couldn’t offset the 10-year Treasury yields continuing to rise! #比特币跌破8万美元

Bitcoin shorts have surged. Of course, there is not yet any bullish divergence in the chart, but with shorts piled up this heavily, it depends on whether there will be a large buy order to support the market. Once it is propped up, the shorts will become a major fuel source. And if the bears win, then we may next see around 80,000.$BTC #比特币跌破8.3万美元
