Profit Taken
Summary: The bears are temporarily in the lead, but the bulls never give up
After a brief weekly increase, both BTC and ETH have experienced varying degrees of correction, with the bears currently holding a leading position. Additionally, whales who previously bottom-fished BTC and ETH have also chosen to take profits. However, industry figures and analysts, including James Wynn and Arthur Hayes, generally believe that it is difficult for BTC prices to fall below $100,000, and the bulls remain hopeful. In the short term, the bears may have the upper hand, but the bulls never give up.
