The market reminds everyone in the most direct way: who is the real 'boss'.

The current Bitcoin $BTC is reported at 66,000 dollars, having retraced nearly 50% from the historical high of 126,000.

Sentiment? No need to say much, it has shifted directly from greed to panic.

However, this round of decline is fundamentally not complicated.

The collapse of the bulls, simply put, is four words - excessive leverage.

When everyone is leveraging, the market is just one trigger point away.

The trigger factors this time are quite typical: escalating geopolitical tensions, oil prices back above 100 dollars, and the Federal Reserve's stance remains tough.

So what you see is not a 'market crash', but a systematic deleveraging + harvesting of fees.

The only truly critical question is one:

Where will the market settle?

60,000 USD is currently the most important watershed.

This level has already been tested in February. Once it effectively breaks down, the structure will turn to a mid-term bearish outlook, and the cycle may extend to several weeks.

Conversely, if the situation eases and liquidity expectations turn looser, then the market also has the conditions for a quick recovery; the rebound path has actually been pre-arranged by some.

It is worth noting that the real big funds have not shown panic behavior.

On-chain data and over-the-counter trading are more akin to long-term accumulation rather than short-term speculation.

So the question is actually very simple:

Is it going to 60,000 first, or is it going to challenge 70,000 again?

The answer is not in the candlestick chart, but in two variables:

The trend of oil prices and the next move of the Federal Reserve.

Many people are still watching the market, but the real answer has long been written in the macro.
