Bitcoin's short-term market is at a critical juncture. The current price hovers around $89,199.7, with a 24-hour decline of 1.93%, but this is not the most noteworthy point — the 7-day drop has already reached 6.14%. Both spot and futures trading volumes are clearly shrinking, market momentum is gradually weakening, and a wait-and-see sentiment is beginning to emerge.



From a technical perspective, resistance is at the $90,500 level, while short-term support is around $87,500. If this support is effectively broken, it could trigger a new wave of selling pressure. Notably, the decline in the past 24 hours has already led to the liquidation of some leveraged longs, further increasing short-term downward pressure.

Interestingly, while the price is falling, the 90-day CVD indicator shows that both spot and futures markets are dominated by "buying on order flow." This suggests that large traders are accumulating on dips, but whether this accumulation is driven by genuine demand or is a bait trap during the short-term decline remains to be seen. The first support zone to watch is around $88,000; if this level is lost, the next test would be the medium-term support at $85,500.

There is a clear divergence in the funding side: the funding rate surged by 47.8% in 24 hours to 0.007355, but both price and open interest are decreasing simultaneously. This forms a classic bearish divergence signal, reflecting overheated leveraged long sentiment that is seriously disconnected from the spot trend. Such a state is highly vulnerable to short-squeeze attacks, and long-term positions face the risk of being squeezed out.

On the macro level, gold has broken through its all-time high, and silver has also risen to high levels, with the market filled with extreme risk-avoidance sentiment. However, this sentiment has not spread to cryptocurrencies — this disconnect itself is sending a signal.

Another act of "whale's low-buy bait," believe it or not, I only half believe it anyway.

Large traders eating up orders, skyrocketing fees, and long leverage still in a daze—together, this spells a hunting moment for the bears.

Are large traders truly accumulating for demand or just digging a trap? That's the key question. --- The clear bearish divergence suggests the bears are about to strike. --- Something feels off... Gold and silver prices are soaring but not affecting the crypto market. This disconnect is indeed noteworthy. --- Once the 87,500 level is broken, we'll need to watch the long-term support. Waiting for the next move. --- The fee rate surged by 47.8%, but prices and holdings are both falling? This bullish behavior is a bit crazy. --- CVD shows buy orders are being filled, but the price is still going down... Who's really controlling the show? --- A wait-and-see sentiment is emerging, trading volume is shrinking. Should we hold off and observe for now? --- A weekly decline of 6.14% is no small matter. Can the 88,000 level really hold? --- With such strong macro risk aversion, why is the crypto market still falling? It's a bit abnormal.

Big players are eating up orders, retail investors are cutting losses, this is the current rhythm. --- Fee rates surged by 47.8% and still fell, this divergence is quite intense. Bulls really need to be cautious. --- Gold and silver are skyrocketing, but BTC is falling instead. This disconnect is indeed strange. --- Will the 87,500 break or not? The future direction depends on this. --- It seems more likely to be a bait trap. Big players might be causing trouble this round. --- Leverage is being liquidated, bears are celebrating, and long-term holders are about to get hurt again. --- Let's see if 88,000 can hold. If not, it's time to admit defeat. --- This market movement is even more uncomfortable than last week. The shrinking volume makes it feel like no one is playing. --- Such obvious bearish divergence signals—are people still adding leverage? Truly mind-blowing. --- Risk aversion sentiment just isn't coming into the crypto space. It's really outrageous.

Big players are accumulating, but the genuine demand is just a bait, this is outrageous
