Tin Citi's upcoming launch of the Custody+ platform later this year sounds exciting, but don’t rush in like ants out of a broken nest. I’ve survived a few cycles to see this steel rule clearly: major news is often priced in before the event, and the official announcement is often when Market Makers (MM) want to sweep the crowd’s stop losses.
Look back at January 2024, when the SEC approved the Bitcoin Spot ETF. Back then, everyone was shouting that a long-term bull market had begun; price ran from $42K to $49K, then dumped straight to $38K within two weeks after the news. That was classic 'Sell the news'. Similarly, when BTC broke its $73K ATH in March, funding rates spiked extremely high, and the result? A quick 18% correction that MM used to shake out those holding on with profits. The pattern repeats exactly: extreme euphoria = a deadly danger zone.
Right now, the boring sideways market is making retail traders impatient, ready to sell the bottom while waiting for a fake breakout. But in reality, smart money is using this silence to build an accumulation zone, quietly scooping up positions before pushing price up or dumping hard to sweep liquidity below support. MM never publicly reveals their intentions; they need panic or excessive euphoria to trade against it.
So my strategy right now is very clear: don’t trade based on the crowd’s emotions in the middle of the range. Wait for a test of support at $62,500 — this is a good liquidity absorption zone for a short-term Long with a target of $66,800 if confirmation appears. If the market is disappointed by neutral news and breaks below $61,200, cut losses immediately or consider a Short down to $58,900. Stay disciplined, and don’t get greedy before there is real breakout confirmation. Be cautious of any hype.
