January 19 Morning Market Notes:

The moment I open the trading app, the screen is filled with red, and everyone on social media is discussing what new issues have arisen in the crypto world. The trigger for this recent decline is not hard to find—Europe's new round of retaliatory tax policies have been implemented, resulting in a collective plunge in blockchain assets, while traditional markets react only mildly. Quite interesting.

Speaking of $BTC's recent movements, from a technical perspective, it touched some key support levels, but any slight change in policy sentiment immediately reflects on on-chain funds' sensitivity. This is also a classic characteristic of the crypto market—compared to traditional assets, policy impacts propagate much faster.

The beginning of the week was indeed somewhat restless, but volatility itself presents opportunities for traders. The key now is to watch the subsequent developments in European policies—whether they will continue to escalate—and how the US will respond.

Europe's move directly slammed the coin price down, but the traditional markets didn't react at all—really fucking ironic. As soon as the policy was announced, on-chain funds went haywire. This has become routine, hasn't it? Let's wait and see what the US side says; otherwise, we can't tell where the top is in this wave. Support levels, you guys watch them. I'll place my orders first. Another night of staying up late to monitor the market. So annoying with these policy expectations.

Europe is causing trouble again, and our coins are directly plunging, while traditional markets are still snoozing. The difference is truly remarkable. As soon as policies shift, on-chain funds panic. How to interpret this wave? Just get used to it. Let it fall; after all, volatility is real gold and silver. The key is to watch how Europe and the US will proceed. When the screen is full of red, it's actually an opportunity—it's all about who dares to buy the dip. BTC has reached the support level, but this thing—policy environment—is like a mirror that reveals the true nature. The speed is outrageously fast.

Whenever Europe causes trouble, BTC has to plunge. The reflex arc is too fast; traditional finance would never dare do this.

Europe causes trouble again, always like this—policies come out faster than a limit-down --- Another policy black swan, BTC's reaction is really sensitive, I've long been used to it --- Seeing the screen full of red is a bit tiring, when will it finally settle down --- On-chain funds are really sensitive, they jump at the slightest breeze, haha --- Such quick policy shocks are still a characteristic of the crypto market --- I think Europe's countermeasures are uncertain, will the US follow suit? --- Volatility opportunities? I just want to know if the support levels can hold --- 朋友圈 (WeChat Moments) is starting again, every time there's a dip, a bunch of "experts" --- This rhythm is really part of daily operations—policy + sudden drops are standard --- The key is how to follow up; otherwise, Europe's policies won't last long
