#数字资产市场动态 January 20 Morning Market Review



The crypto market has been quite volatile these past two days, with $BTC and $ETH experiencing rollercoaster movements. As of 6 a.m., Bitcoin is quoted at $93,200, down 2.6% for the day. It briefly dropped to $91,833 in the early hours and is now oscillating between $92,000 and $93,500. The $94,000 level remains unbroken, with bulls and bears battling intensely.

Ethereum's decline has been even more aggressive—currently at $3,200, down 3.4% for the day. After touching a low of $3,175, it has been fluctuating between $3,180 and $3,220. The most astonishing part is that over 88% of long positions have been wiped out during this drop, with volatility far surpassing that of BTC. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has fallen to $3.13 trillion, with altcoins suffering even worse, generally plunging 4%-7%. Although funds are still concentrated in mainstream coins, the overall market sentiment remains suppressed.

Behind this sharp decline are three main drivers: hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials shattered expectations of easing, causing panic among investors; escalating trade tensions between Europe and the US drove risk-averse capital into gold; and over-leveraged long positions accumulated earlier triggered a series of liquidations, creating a vicious cycle of sell-offs.

From a technical perspective, the key level for Bitcoin is around $92,000-$92,200. A break below this would mean watching the critical supports at $91,833 and $90,000. Resistance above is at $94,000-$94,500. Only a steady hold above this range can confirm a potential bottoming signal. For Ethereum, the support zone is at $3,175-$3,180. Losing this level would shift focus to $3,060-$3,080. Resistance is at $3,260-$3,280, and a breakout above this could ease some of the downward pressure.

Trading strategy: For Bitcoin, consider long positions between $91,100 and $92,100, with targets at $93,700-$94,700; for Ethereum, go long between $3,130 and $3,170, aiming for $3,250-$3,290.

Is this the same old trick of cutting the leeks again? I knew 88% of the bulls would be wiped out. The leverage traders are just paying tuition to the big players again. Alright, now that the 92,000 barrier is broken, I'll just go to sleep. Anyway, if I wake up, it will be the same. What kind of trading strategy is this... Sounds nice, but it's just gambling.
