Although the magnitude of btc price swings is different from the April–May period, the same extreme pattern is repeating once again maximizing time within a specific structure while continuously testing investors' psychology. I believe there is still a high probability that the market will deliver another move that catches the majority off guard at the very end. What is becoming increasingly clear is that the market makers understand the investment strategies and psychological tendencies that most participants rely on, and they continue to exploit them in remarkably sophisticated ways. When even short-term price action is deliberately engineered to create this level of emotional pressure, I question whether the market makers will simply allow investors to profit from the widely accepted belief in Bitcoin's long-term uptrend, supported by numerous technical indicators and on-chain cycle data. In fact, during this cycle, I observed that several key indicators behaved completely differently from previous cycles as the market approached its peak. Let me be clear there is no shortage of data supporting the long-term bullish case. However, assuming that the market makers are unaware of these signals is, in my view, an even greater mistake. They are already demonstrating how effectively they can exploit investors' strategies and expectations, even within the current short-term market structure.(mignolet)
