Bitcoin's dramatic plunge from $126,000 isn't random—there's a clear story behind the move.

After hitting that all-time high, the world's largest crypto faced mounting headwinds. Profit-taking became inevitable when the asset ran this hard. Major institutional flows shifted direction, and on-chain metrics started flashing yellow lights. Some blamed macro factors—rising rate expectations and renewed dollar strength—while others pointed to liquidation cascades that fed the selling momentum.

But here's what matters: pullbacks from ATH are part of the game. Whether this is a healthy consolidation or something deeper depends on where key support holds. Watch the volume profile and institutional wallet movements closely.

It's the same old story, institutions dumping and shaking out retail investors. I just want to know how low this can go this time, stop with all these illusions. Alright, alright, the days of staying up late to watch the K-line are back. Every time they say "healthy correction," wake up—it's just a harvest. It's really terrifying if the support level breaks... Can this time avoid another V-shaped rebound that tricks people? Basically, it's big players accumulating, retail investors cutting losses, year after year.

Coming with this again? Every time you say "there's a story," but actually you're just dumping. I've heard quite a few times about the "healthy correction" in the crypto circle, but do you really have no idea how it turned out? Can the support level hold? Honestly, no one knows; everyone is just guessing. I've been caught again after this drop, I'm really speechless. What are the institutions doing? Why didn't they run early? When it was $126k, why didn't anyone say there was a risk? Now everyone has become smart.

They're starting to shift the blame again—talking about institutional flows, on-chain metrics... Basically, someone is just dumping the market. There's no "story" behind dropping from 126K; it's just the old trick of the whales harvesting retail investors. If the key support level can't hold, things will get even worse. This round really tests patience; better to stay calm and watch the situation unfold.

Hey, it's the same old trick again. As soon as it hits the top, they start dumping, and once the institutions withdraw, it completely crashes. It's really getting on my nerves.

Here it comes again, always the same excuse... Whether the support level can hold is the real question.

You're starting to tell stories again. Isn't it ultimately just a dump? Watching the coin price plummet is just ridiculous.

It's pulling back again... Isn't this just the old trick of institutions closing positions and retail investors chasing the dip? Whether the support level can hold is the key; if it breaks, it's time to bottom fish, and if it doesn't, just keep observing.

Oh no, this pullback is pretty harsh. Are institutions really fleeing, or is it just purely taking profits?

It's the same old story again—institutions cashing out, macro pressures, chain reactions of liquidations... I'm tired of hearing it. The real issue is whether the support levels can hold; otherwise, there's more room to fall.
