BTC market remains under pressure. Yesterday, Bitcoin broke below the 90,000 mark, briefly dropping to a low of 85,000. The weakness in the US stock AI sector was the main drag.



The coming week can be described as a "macro hell week." Tonight, the non-farm payroll report is due, and on Thursday, the Bank of Japan faces an interest rate decision—market expectations of a rate hike are as high as 98%. Two major data releases within just a few days have intensified liquidity risks. Such macroeconomic volatility often triggers a chain reaction in risk assets, with the crypto market bearing the brunt.

However, there are also contrarian voices. MicroStrategy founder Saylor continues to increase his holdings, investing another $1 billion in Bitcoin this week. This sustained accumulation by a seasoned institutional investor reflects, to some extent, confidence in the long-term outlook.

In the short term, market sentiment remains weak, but in the medium term, institutional deployment continues. Data fluctuations in the coming days are inevitable, and maintaining caution and patience may be the best strategy.

This guy Saylor just threw another billion, is he really not afraid or am I just not scared enough

---

Up and down, macro hell week is really annoying, I’m done watching, going to sleep

---

98% interest rate hike? Come on, just watch the show

---

Short-term weak, long-term strong, I've heard this phrase several times, but it still depends on how institutions move

---

If 90,000 can't hold, then it can't hold, anyway I don't have that much money to worry about

---

Double blood draw sounds pretty scary, but every time it's said like that, nothing happens in the end

---

Saylor is really not an ordinary person, he buys with a billion just like that, I, an ordinary person, can only continue HODL

---

I won't look at the K-line for the next week, looking now would just be stressful

Forget it, it dropped again. Breaking below 90,000 and still heading down, this broken AI sector really drags everything down.

The macro hell week is truly hardcore—non-farm payrolls and the Bank of Japan's double whammy. I think the liquidity is really about to be drained.

But Saylor is still buying, this guy is really fearless, throwing in 1 billion dollars directly. Institutions are still positioning, so retail investors just have to hold on.

Let's get through this week, anyway, short-term outlook is still unclear.

The liquidity gap at the moment of 85,000 is quite interesting; we need to look at the depth data on the CEX side.

Double bloodletting? Isn't that just a carnival for arbitrage bots? It's quite rare for slippage to widen to this extent.

Saylor's move... buying the bottom with 1 billion dollars, institutions are still betting. It's a bit particular.

Saylor bought again? This guy really isn't afraid, dropping billions of dollars just like that... Meanwhile, retail investors like us are still debating whether to hold at 85K or 90K.

---

The macro hell week is here, and we're about to be harvested again. Non-farm payrolls + the Bank of Japan's double strike, liquidity is crashing directly.

---

Honestly, it looks pretty risky in the short term, but judging by Saylor's stance, it seems that big institutions are still quietly accumulating.

---

If 90K doesn't hold, can it rebound this time or will it continue to drop? It feels like there's no bottom.

---

Instead of lying flat, it's better to analyze the data carefully. Anyway, the next few days won't be calm, so protecting your positions is the most important.

This wave is about to be wiped out again, Saylor is really ruthless

---

Non-farm + Japanese Central Bank... It's over, I’m afraid this week will wipe out our savings again

---

Seeing Saylor still buying gives me some confidence, other institutions are all cutting us like chives

---

85,000 is 85,000 anyway, I’ve become numb, let it keep falling

---

It's another "macro hell week," I’m tired of hearing this phrase. Every time it’s said, it still ends up falling

---

Mid-term? I feel like after a short-term drop, there will be another drop in the mid-term

---

Saylor’s money is also money, but what about ours? One month’s salary just disappeared

---

I bet the Japanese Central Bank will break below 80,000 on Thursday, who dares to bet against it?

---

Stay patient... Can patience turn into money, everyone?

---

Institutions keep deploying, retail investors keep cutting losses, this business is really ruthless
