Recently, there is a phenomenon worth pondering: BTC lacks the momentum it once had. Looking back at history, whenever CPI data is released, Bitcoin often experiences a spike or a significant change in trend. But this time, after the CPI was announced, the market reaction seemed unusually calm.

The flow of funds appears to have changed. Traditional assets like gold, silver, and US stocks are attracting investors' attention, and many people may have really turned to stock trading. This is directly reflected in the liquidity of the crypto market—when incremental funds can't enter and existing funds are being diverted, BTC's price tends to fall into a state of oscillation with little strength.

The impact of macroeconomic and environmental factors cannot be underestimated. US economic data, interest rate expectations, and changes in risk asset allocation are all redistributing the flow of global capital. The crypto market is undergoing a transition from independent speculation back to being linked with traditional financial markets.

I've seen through the liquidity diversion long ago, but what's really shocking is—BTC is actually establishing a bottom consensus in such a weak environment? On-chain data shows whales are quietly accumulating, while you are blinded by the false prosperity of traditional assets. I bet that when the next macro shift occurs, the crypto world will bite back on everything.

Honestly, the lack of momentum in this wave of BTC is a bit unexpected. Really, it feels like funds have been drained by the US stock market. Is this still called an "independent asset"? LOL

Oh wow, this time is really outrageous. Are crypto people all rushing to trade stocks? --- Liquidity exhaustion is the most heartbreaking; without new money entering the market, no one can save it. --- It feels like BTC is now tied to the US stock market, and it will never return to those crazy days. --- Wait, gold is also rising, indicating that everyone is indeed avoiding risk. The crypto market is truly cooling down. --- This is called correlation, right? Previously independent markets are now dancing with the main index, which is quite heartbreaking. --- No more stop-loss orders left, that’s a real danger signal, meaning no one cares anymore.

Honestly, all the money in the crypto circle has been pulled into the US stock market, and things here are indeed quiet. Wait, does that mean the CPI data is invalid? Something feels off. Liquidity exhaustion is real, but I still bet on BTC to rebound, it all depends on how the Federal Reserve plays its cards. This round of rotation is really crazy; traditional finance has taken all our incremental funds. In fact, we should have returned to a state linked with the traditional market long ago; the previous independent speculation was always superficial.
