These past couple of days, the market has indeed been quite intense. Bitcoin temporarily dropped below the $90,000 mark, hitting its lowest level since January. Against the backdrop of declining global bonds and stocks, cryptocurrencies are taking the brunt. Ethereum fell by 6% in response, and Solana also retraced by 4.6%.
The underlying logic is quite clear—geopolitical risks are escalating, with both Japan and US bond yields soaring, leading to a noticeable decline in market risk appetite. Especially with the tariff threat topic resurfacing, the selling pressure on US bonds is significant; Japan's fiscal moves are also adding to the turbulence. In this environment, investors' risk aversion is particularly strong. You can see it clearly with gold, which hit a new all-time high, breaking through $4,700.
From a technical perspective, the next support levels are between $84,000 and $85,000. Data from the Bitcoin options market also reflect this—demand for downside protection is clearly increasing. Analysts are all saying, don’t underestimate the current macro risks.

Here we go again, this wave of decline is really fierce, and there's no way to avoid it.
I believe in gold reaching a new high; that's true safe-haven, but we just have to tough it out here.
If we can't hold 84,000, it seems like we have to look further down; options data is telling a story.
Damn it, every time there's a macro event, the crypto circle gets hit.
Honestly, breaking 90,000 still leaves me uneasy; this drop is much worse than last year.

Once again, the price has dropped, and my $90,000 dream is gone.
Can we hold the 84,000 level? It feels uncertain.
Gold has reached 4700. Is this hinting at something for us?

Damn, it's another macro issue. Gold has already broken 4700, and this time it's really different.

Gold has already reached 4700, but Bitcoin is still falling. This is really outrageous.

90,000 broken again, and now waiting for 8.4? I really can't hold it anymore. This wave of macro risks is indeed quite intense.
