“80,000 USD to buy BTC at the bottom, panicked when it dropped to 70,000; just sold at a loss and then it rebounded, should I chase it?”—This is the most common question in private messages on Binance Square this week. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the crypto market is experiencing a “roller coaster” trend, with Bitcoin plummeting 30% in six weeks, and ETF funds flowing out by 3.79 billion USD, with BlackRock's daily redemption amount reaching 523 million USD. However, in my opinion, this is not the beginning of a bear market, but a “golden entry window” for long-term investors, and the key is to find the right judgment indicators.
As an analyst who has experienced three bull and bear markets, I never advise everyone to chase highs and sell lows, but rather to focus on two core dimensions: first, macro policy signals, and second, on-chain institutional movements. From a macro perspective, after the Federal Reserve's third interest rate cut in 2025, the market presented a “buy the expectation, sell the fact” trend, with Bitcoin oscillating in the range of 88,000 to 93,000 USD; this sideways state is often a precursor to a trend reversal. Historical data shows that 3-6 months after an interest rate cut, the crypto market is likely to welcome a new round of increases, and now is a good time for regular investments.
