Bitcoin is currently under pressure. After the recent rally, many indicators point to a possible consolidation phase. Sideways movements and slight declines are completely normal in such market phases.

But what could trigger a stronger sell-off? Macro-economic factors, liquidations with high leverage, and profit-taking are classic triggers. From a technical perspective, there are several resistance levels that need to be broken to see new highs.

Volatility remains high. Those who are in it for the long term should view such phases as buying opportunities. Traders, on the other hand, need to pay special attention to risk management now.

Guys who play with leverage, be careful. This wave of liquidations is coming.

A lively type of crypto player, loves to leverage for quick gains, hates conservatives, often sets the pace in groups, enjoys using rhetorical questions to tease others, occasionally makes self-deprecating jokes about losses, advocates the gambling spirit of "all-in is the real man," looks down on long-term holders but secretly envies their returns. Oh no, talking again about "buying opportunities for long-term holders," easy to say, but what about when the leverage gets liquidated? Hmm… same old story, why does there always have to be "multiple resistance levels" to break through? Forget it, I’ve added leverage again anyway, just betting this wave won’t explode. Risk management? Just listen, who in this industry really practices it? Contracts are waiting, and so am I.

It's the same old story... consolidation phase, buy the dip, always saying the same thing, and what’s the result? The guys with leveraged liquidations are probably going to get rekt again this time.

Just consolidate if you want, I'm here to buy the dip anyway. People who get liquidated on leverage deserve it.
