On Monday morning, when I opened the daily chart, I paused for a moment. BTC at 82,489, ETH at 2,426—both up slightly, looking calm enough. But when I zoomed out, I realized this past month, we’ve ridden a full rollercoaster. BTC rose from 62,685 all the way to 87,374—a nearly 40% surge. ETH was even wilder, climbing from 1,869 to 2,807, a 50% jump. Back then, anyone saying “the bull is back” could’ve convinced me. Then came the slow retracement. Now, BTC is down about 5.6% from its peak, and ETH is down nearly 14%. See? The bigger the rise, the bigger the fall—ETH has always been this way. When Bitcoin catches a cold, ETH runs a fever. What’s most frustrating is how it’s pulling back—not crashing, but grinding. A small red candle today, a small green one tomorrow, a long lower wick that dips then pulls back. You want to cut your losses, but it hasn’t dropped much. You want to average down, but you don’t know where the bottom is. Last week, I got spooked twice in a row by CPI and PPI data—now I’m twitchy every time a data release comes out. Tonight, U.S. markets open again; last Friday, semiconductors fell for eight straight days. If they keep dropping on Monday, the crypto market will likely shake too. I haven’t touched anything. Just watching. Honestly, my biggest feeling right now is this: the market hasn’t crashed—but I’m exhausted. Do you think this is consolidation after the rally… or a washout before the next leg up?
