Recent data changes are quite interesting. The retail traders' long-short ratio has dropped from about 70% net long positions to 55%, and this shift coincides inversely with the recent rally. Simply put, when retail investors become less aggressive in their bullish outlook, the market has instead started to rebound.
Next, focus on the volatility indicator. From a technical perspective, volatility often reflects price trends in advance and is considered a good leading indicator. If the bullish momentum is to continue, Bitcoin needs to break through the key resistance at $95,000. Once this level is stabilized, the upward potential can truly open up.
However, there is one thing to watch out for—the market is always full of uncertainties. Any technical signals are just probabilistic advantages, not certainties. Recently, market sentiment has been quite volatile, and the rapid change in retail positioning itself indicates that market participants are reassessing risks. Keep a close eye on trading volume and position data, as these often reveal the true supply and demand dynamics more than price movements alone.

Retail investors reducing their positions actually drive the market up, this logic is brilliant... it indicates that institutions are quietly accumulating positions.

Retail investors reducing positions actually leads to a rise, this logic is brilliant.
If 95000 can't be broken, it’s truly concerning.
Volume is the real indicator; price is just surface-level.
This rebound is a bit strange, feels like a test of the market.
Volatility speaks; technical analysis can't keep up?
When there are many people, it collapses instead; this market loves to harvest in the opposite direction.
