What is the current market outlook? Actually, it's very simple—this is a correction, not a breakout.

BTC now acts as the stabilizer. It doesn't need to be pushed up; the key is to prevent continued volume-driven downward pressure. The real focus isn't on how much it rises, but whether there are still people rushing to sell during each dip. As the price falls, trading volume diminishes, indicating that the chips that need to be sold have already been offloaded. This is a signal. Will the market rise? It will inevitably first consolidate sideways, grinding people down until they lose patience, then move. This rhythm cannot be changed.

ETH will be more active than BTC, but don't expect it to be the main upward wave. The current rise is mainly driven by replenishment funds, arbitrage positions, and short-term traders. The gains can be quick, but so can the pullbacks. As long as it swings within the range, it indicates that funds don't see it as the main battlefield; rather, they treat it as a flexible asset to profit from volatility.

As for altcoins? Don't expect a broad rally. Most altcoin surges are essentially emotional pulses—they can push higher but can't hold the gains. As soon as profits are taken, someone will sell, reflecting a strong defensive market mentality. Only a few altcoins with clear expectations and controlled by someone with a plan can break out into independent trends.

So, what is the key now? Patience. Wait for this correction to complete, wait for the market sentiment to fade, and wait for trading volume to decline to the right level. The big moves often come when everyone thinks there's nothing left to do.
