Behind the Bitcoin fall: Close Position wave, policy concerns, and risk appetite making a strong push at the same time

Recently, Bitcoin has seen a significant fall, and the underlying drivers are quite complex. On one hand, there is a chain reaction caused by liquidation, while on the other hand, the momentum from the slowing down of encryption policy advancements and corporate purchases is also weakening. Additionally, with the increase in global policy uncertainties, market risk appetite has been suppressed.

Looking at the situation in the US stock market, the AI sector is performing poorly, and the employment data is not that impressive, with an overall weak performance. However, the inflation data is improving, and the performance of semiconductor companies is also good, which has somewhat alleviated the fall.

Interestingly, in this risk atmosphere, gold has actually strengthened. With the rise in safe-haven demand and the global asset allocation trend driving funds in, the price of gold continues to rise and has approached historical highs.

It is worth noting that MicroStrategy's stock price has performed moderately during this period. Although they have been continuously increasing their holdings in Bitcoin, the practice of equity financing purchases has raised market concerns about equity dilution, and this negative expectation has outweighed the positive effects of increasing Bitcoin holdings, resulting in pressure on the stock price.

When the wave of closing positions comes, everyone has to kneel, this is the consequence of leverage. The policies here are also unhelpful, companies have withdrawn, who dares to catch a falling knife? Gold is taking off but the crypto world is bleeding, risk-averse capital is merciless like this. MicroStrategy is still holding on, financing to buy coins is really... a bit hard to sustain.

The wave of closing positions is really fierce, one after another falling down. Gold is rising sharply, but everyone is still timid. MicroStrategy's recent move is a bit risky, the risk of financing to buy coins is still high. The cooling of policies in the crypto world indicates what? Regulation is tightening. The AI zone is disappointing, and tech stocks are also beyond saving. This adjustment comes at just the right time, it's a good time to clear leverage.

The liquidation wave has come, I knew it would be like this... the soft buying from enterprises is the real killer --- Another policy variable, this time it really can't hold on --- Gold has risen like this, indicating that everyone is panicking --- MicroStrategy is still stubbornly holding onto Bitcoin, they have real guts... but increasing the position at this time feels a bit risky --- US stocks and AI have fallen like this, dragging the entire market down --- Improving inflation can't save this round of decline, it seems that money has all run to gold --- The chain reaction caused by liquidation is the most disgusting, one explosion leads to a chain reaction --- After all, it still comes down to a sharp decline in risk appetite, no one dares to catch a falling knife.

When the closing position wave comes, everyone kneels down; this is the cost of leverage. The buying momentum of enterprises is gone, and policies are holding back; no wonder it's so miserable. It’s a good time to buy the dip in gold, as safe-haven funds are pouring in. Is MicroStrategy still buying hard? That's really bold; during this time, they need to watch how the financing and increase in holdings will play out later. I feel this wave of decline is just the beginning; it will be even more painful later.
