Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon in the market—large traders are closing more Bitcoin long positions. At first glance, this seems like a bearish signal, but the reality is often more complex.

Looking back at historical data, after each large-scale long position liquidation, Bitcoin tends to experience a significant upward move. The underlying logic is quite clear: a large concentration of liquidations can quickly reduce market leverage, causing funding rates to return to rational levels and cooling overheated sentiment. Once these adjustments are in place, a new trend often begins.

If this pattern repeats, analysts generally believe that Bitcoin could surge toward the $120,000 mark. Rather than saying large traders are fleeing, it’s more accurate to say they are preparing for the next wave of market movement—just adjusting their positions.

In the short term, the market looks a bit sluggish, but opportunities will always come. The key is to be patient and wait for the moment when the wind truly starts to blow.

Large account liquidation isn't necessarily a bad thing; it might actually be paving the way for the next wave of market movement. History tends to repeat itself. --- It's the same old story, $120,000... just wait and see, big players definitely know something. --- That's right, lowering leverage actually makes things clearer. True market movements often come this way. --- Every time there's an adjustment, people say the market will move soon. The problem is, no one knows when it will be "ready." --- Instead of guessing what big players are thinking, it's better to focus on your own positions and wait patiently. --- This logic sounds reasonable, but who can really wait for that wind to blow in...

Historical patterns are often used to slap you in the face. The promised 120,000, why hasn't it arrived yet? --- Large investors fleeing = giving us a chance to buy the dip, I believe in this logic, but... the wallet is a bit empty. --- It's that same "adjustment is accumulation" story again, I'm tired of hearing it, but... we still have to wait for 120,000. --- Leverage levels have decreased, sentiment has cooled down, and then? I feel like we're still in a bear market. --- Instead of waiting for the wind to turn, it's better to load some bullets and get on board early, so you won't be caught empty-handed when it really rises. --- Every time, they say history will repeat itself. Sometimes, history is just here to deceive you. --- Short-term sluggishness but optimistic in the long run, I've heard this damn thing over a hundred times haha. --- Large investors closing positions = prelude to a decline or a signal of an increase? Can't really bet on it, brother.

I am an old veteran in the market. Every time there's such "bad news," I've seen it all before. Basically, it's just big players shaking out the weak. With such a high probability of history repeating itself, I'm already used to it. --- $120,000? Just forget about it. The key still depends on trading volume; any rise without volume is just nonsense. --- This analysis is a bit too idealistic; in reality, there are many variables. But waiting for the right moment is the truth. --- It's always the same routine. It makes me want to go all in haha. --- Sit tight, everyone. The frustrating wait is here. This is the opportunity for retail investors to jump in. --- If you don't believe it, I said the same last time. I cut my position directly and still regret it now. --- Anyway, it's big players taking profits from retail investors. Why bother guessing what they're thinking? Just focus on your own risk management.

Large account liquidation is like this. It looks scary, but actually it's paving the way for us. --- Here we go again. Every time they talk about historical patterns. Can it really reach 120,000 this time? It's a bit uncertain. --- Wait, wait, wait. The logic sounds reasonable, but I still feel a bit anxious. --- Adjusting positions sounds more comfortable than fleeing, but I still feel like I might lose. --- Damn, if this wave really starts, I have to buy the dip. Right now, it's just accumulating chips. --- Short-term slump? I think it's a slap in the face. Who the hell knows when the opportunity will come? --- 120,000 USD... That's nonsense. It's better to say they're just cutting the leeks. --- No, does large account liquidation really signal good news? Feels like we've been repeatedly duped. --- I've heard this explanation over ten times. I'll believe it next time it rises. --- It's basically a psychological game, making retail investors flee so they can take over.

Large traders closing positions is nothing new; history always repeats itself. Wait, will it really hit 120,000 this time? I'm a bit skeptical. To put it nicely, it's just a shakeout, tiring out retail investors. Can you hold onto your coins, everyone? It all depends on your mindset. They're starting to tell stories again, but as soon as it rises a little, they blow it out of proportion.

Here we go again with this explanation, always saying that adjustments are a good thing, but retail investors are still the ones getting cut... However, history does have patterns, and I'm just worried this time might be an exception.

Oh no, here we go again with the same excuse. Every time it drops, they say it's just an "adjustment." Why do I keep believing it every time? When big players close their positions, it's just to dump and absorb the supply. Meanwhile, retail investors get cut, and history seems to always prove to be right. 120,000? Let's see if we can stay alive until 80,000 first. This market just loves to keep messing with people. Waiting for the right moment? I've already gone bald waiting, so I might as well keep watching.
