Widespread market anxiety and FOMO as people miss the move—what should we do?
The underlying structure of this rebound
Moving average confirmation + short squeeze + spot inflows—three in one
#比特币突破8.5万美元
1️⃣ Technical confirmation
Galaxy data shows that after ending a 45-week stretch, BTC has just closed above the 50-week moving average on the weekly chart for the first time in history. Historically, this signal has confirmed that a bear-market low has already formed. (Figure 1)
2️⃣ A leveraged short-squeeze spiral
Glassnode data indicates that the 82–86k range is precisely the price band where short liquidations have been most concentrated recently. When the price rebounds into this zone, it directly triggers a cascade of forced closes. In the past 24 hours, total global liquidations exceeded $1.09 billion, of which shorts accounted for $840 million (BTC $606 million, ETH $178 million). After breaking 84k, within just 60 minutes another $261 million in shorts were liquidated.
The data shows BTC open interest is decreasing while net position changes are increasing, suggesting this rebound is driven by shorts being passively closed—not by new leveraged longs chasing momentum out of sentiment. This structural difference is a key argument that this rebound is relatively healthy.
3️⃣ Massive ETF inflows
On September 21, BTC ETFs had a net inflow of $617.6 million, and ETH ETFs had a net inflow of $147.1 million. (Figure 2, Figure 3)
⚠️ But risk signals that must be faced:
The Fear & Greed Index has risen to 78, the first time this month it has entered the "Extreme Greed" range. Be alert: some capital may already be positioning to exit as this frenzy builds.
At the micro level:
1️⃣ The BTC whale sell-wall is at 87k. Previously there was no whale resistance, and the target is 96k (1.618 Fibonacci);
2️⃣ The ETH whale sell orders wall is at $2800/$3000. The targets are $3000 (1.618 Fibonacci) and $3765 (2.618 Fibonacci), respectively;
3️⃣ The ETH validator staking queue is 13.6 times the exit queue—long-term locking intent is strengthening;
4️⃣ The altcoin cycle signal has flipped from the BTC season to the altcoin season.
#NEAR一周涨近80%
#XRP上涨8%
Donnie’s take:
The structural thesis behind this rebound (moving average confirmation + short squeeze + spot inflows) is more solid than prior rounds of emotion-driven surges. However, the Extreme Greed reading of 78 is already in the risk zone—near-term overheating risk cannot be ignored.
If you’re already on the spot trade and using ultra-low leverage, please continue. For friends who missed the move, wait for emotions to cool down and for a pullback—don’t let the anxiety of "not getting on" push you to chase at higher prices.
