【A week ago it was 63k, and now it’s still 63k—the script I’ve seen before】
Today $ 62600. A week ago $ 62800—only a couple hundred difference.
A month ago $ 71000—off by thirteen thousand.
Tell me, what do you call this? Boiling a frog in warm water.
A week ago I told the group, “Don’t rush. It still needs to grind.”
Turns out it really did grind for a week.
But what I didn’t say was—I also thought it wouldn’t take this long.
Let’s talk about the three signals I saw.
Right now BTC is moving sideways around $ 62600. In the past 24 hours it’s down 0.7%, and over 7 days it’s still down 0.7%. With a move this small, is it down or not down?
And the trading volume? Ridiculously low.
Most people are in this state—afraid to buy, unwilling to sell—just draining time like this.
The sentiment index is 22, extreme panic. But notice something: the weekly average is only 23. What does that mean?
It means this panic isn’t just today—it’s been like this for a continuous stretch.
This isn’t sudden fear. It’s habitual pessimism.
Under this kind of mood, neither up nor down feels satisfying, because both sides—buyers and sellers—have no energy.
There’s another data point I went and looked at specifically—how much has it pulled back from the all-time high?
More than 50%.
This appeared during the mid-phase of the 2017 bear market, and again after the 312 in 2020.
Every time it reaches this level, long-term capital starts grumbling, “It seems a bit cheap.”
Not bottom-fishing—people begin to take notice.
With these three signals combined, you tell me—up or down?
I don’t know either. But I do know one thing—when it’s gone sideways this long, there’s a high probability of a breakout move coming.
Last week, my predictions were spot-on:
✓ I was right about the shrinking trading volume
✓ I called the sentiment extreme—I didn’t miss
✗ I thought it would break below $ 60000 and then bounce back, but it never broke
Next week, I’ll be watching the trading volume.
If it doesn’t pick up, up or down will just be fake moves. But if suddenly there’s a big-volume bullish candle or a big-volume bearish candle, you have to react—direction is coming.
My position this week didn’t change. I only played a bit with short-term trades—lost some to fees.
Call me timid if you want. Call me steady if you want. Either way, the wounds from 2021 are still there. I can shout hard with my mouth, but my hands are calmer than anyone’s.
Honestly, the hardest part of this kind of market isn’t losing money—it’s watching it do nothing.
Does it make your hands itch? Itches. But this time I really didn’t jump in.
What about you? What’s your mindset now?
If you’re still holding, if you missed the move, or if you’re sitting in cash—let’s chat.
