From the bottom support at $89,000: this move is really not a sell-off, but a tactical rotation

【Crypto World】The recent performance of the crypto market has been misunderstood by many. The volatility in risk appetite over the past week indeed caused digital asset performance to lag, and ETF capital flows also reversed, which looks quite alarming. But if you observe the details carefully, you’ll find that the issue isn’t that simple.

From the range of 89,000 to 90,000 USD, the price stability is still quite good. Leverage has been cleared, but no large-scale forced liquidations have been triggered. Trading volume remains healthy. All these signs point to one conclusion: this is more like tactical rotation rather than panic selling.

What does real selling look like? Being hammered down during rebounds, lack of buy-side support, structural deterioration, smart money fleeing—these are not seen now. The current situation is instead: profit-taking in strength, repositioning, and large funds preparing to move. The bottom is being tested repeatedly, but each time it holds.

The macro background also tells a story. Morgan Stanley is applying for an internal ETF, Bank of America has relaxed the authority for advisors to recommend crypto assets, and the CLARITY bill is about to be voted on. These moves are unlikely to happen at a market top. Even if short-term capital flows fluctuate, patient capital is quietly accumulating.

This week, two factors are key: CPI data and the CLARITY bill. If the data is weak, expectations for rate cuts will rise. Once the bill passes, years of regulatory pressure can be released. Either of these developments alone is enough to push us through the current range.

Of course, risks also exist—if CPI is too hot, the Federal Reserve might continue to hold steady. But judging from the current solid foundation, even if there are short-term setbacks, the fundamentals remain intact. Once macro conditions align, the current structure will be favorable for price increases.

89,000 held firmly, this is what a proper bottom should look like, not a scare tactic sell-off.

89,000 holding steady is a signal; stop shouting bearish all day, it's just rotation.

Ha, it's the same story about tactical rotation. I feel like every time it dips, it's called rotation.

tbh the 89k hold is giving "institutional accumulation period" vibes more than actual capitulation... regression analysis of volume patterns suggests p < 0.05 significance for the tactical rotation thesis, not panic territory. the fact that leverage got rekt but no cascade liquidations happened is lowkey the tell here. memetic velocity of this narrative is based af ngl

Using the same rhetoric again? Every time it's "tactical rotation," and what’s the result? Let's first see if those "smart funds" can hold their ground this time.

The support at 89,000 has been holding steadily, and the liquidity depth looks quite healthy. The slippage hasn't shown any abnormal expansion... This is the key indicator, not the panic theories written by some media. People don't analyze trading volume carefully enough and fail to notice the changes in the bid-ask spread. The liquidity gap of the trading pairs is actually narrowing... Tactical rotation is correct. Repeatedly testing the bottom without breaking indicates what? It shows that big funds are not dumping the market; this is accumulation, my friends. Arbitrage opportunities are here.
