The market on Friday is still shaky. Bitcoin is stuck at the 86,000 level — essentially, this is the last line of defense for the bulls. Once it breaks below, the bears will be popping champagne. The surge yesterday to 89,000 triggered over $1 billion in liquidations, sweeping out many leveraged traders.
Interestingly, on the Ethereum side. Bitmine recently staked 74,000 ETH, which indicates significant capital inflow. But on the other hand, large holders are quietly reducing their positions, selling 5,000 ETH — whale actions like this often reveal something. While fundamentals are being bullishly accumulated, they are also offloading, making market sentiment quite complex.
On the macro front, US stocks are slightly down today, but expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in March are rising. This is a positive signal for the crypto market — improved liquidity expectations usually boost risk asset valuations.
Operational advice in one sentence: In this volatile market, don’t try to chase gains or cut losses impulsively. Accumulate at lows, take profits at highs, and honestly ride the waves. Greed is the biggest enemy in a choppy market.

86,000 whether it breaks or not really depends on these two days. If whales start selling off, I won't dare to be greedy.

86,000 is really the last lifeline for the bulls. Once it breaks, players will probably be crying their eyes out in the exchange.

86,000 is really a risky move, and the leverage traders were wiped out yesterday haha

86,000 break or not, let's see if we can stop the bleeding tonight. The leverage traders are about to get liquidated again.

86k is really a tough hurdle, and the 1b liquidation wave yesterday directly wiped out a batch of people... been there, that feeling is really unpleasant. I believe in you guys who are still holding on, don't be greedy.

The whale reducing their position by 5,000 ETH, it just makes me feel uncomfortable... Is this a sign that we should withdraw?

86,000 again at this critical level? Feels like watching a copy-paste market... Whales are adding to their positions while selling off, this move is really hilarious.

86,000 at this level, the bulls are really about to give out, feeling like a break is imminent.

Once again, in this kind of market, if we can't hold 86,000, we all have to run.
