The big dump from last night hasn't calmed down yet, and today the market is facing new variables. Bitcoin briefly fell below $87,000, with a drop of over 5%, triggered by a statement from a certain leader regarding the Fed's new chairperson candidate, which ignited fears of a power transition. However, now, three forces are brewing simultaneously, and the plot may be about to reverse.



First, the most urgent matter - Powell is about to speak. The Fed chair is scheduled to give a speech at 9 a.m. Beijing time on December 2nd. The "resignation" rumors that have been swirling in the market should have an explanation this time. How global liquidity will move depends on his statement.

The second thing is even more explosive. Czech National Bank Governor Aleš Michl publicly stated that Bitcoin "has zero correlation with bonds and is an interesting asset in large investment portfolios." They officially proposed to invest up to 5% of the national foreign exchange reserves (approximately $7.3 billion) into Bitcoin. If this goes through, it will be the first time a major Western central bank buys Bitcoin.

The third force comes from the whales. Michael Saylor, the co-founder of MicroStrategy, posted a holding chart full of green dots, suggesting that they will continue to increase their positions. The company now holds nearly 650,000 BTC, with a market value of approximately $60 billion, making it the publicly traded company with the largest holdings in the world.

Many analysts believe that this pullback is just a "leverage washout," and the real macro landscape is actually being reshuffled. The Fed has already stopped tapering on December 1, which is a clear signal of a shift towards a looser monetary policy. According to data from the Czech central bank, if 5% of Bitcoin had been allocated over the past decade, the annualized return could have been an additional 3.5 percentage points. This logic can be calculated by global pensions and sovereign funds.

The question now is whether this wave of adjustment is a trap or an opportunity to get on board? The market is at a crucial juncture.

Oh my, even the central bank is getting in, can it still drop? I told you, this is the final shakeout. Saylor is holding 650,000 coins, this guy isn’t going to panic like us retail investors, the signal to keep adding positions is obvious. Once Powell speaks tomorrow, liquidity should loosen up. If we don’t see a surge this afternoon, it wouldn’t do justice to this moment.

Czech Central Bank buying Bitcoin? If this really happens, can other central banks still sit tight? The FOMO conference is about to begin. Powell's speech is crucial; whether it’s point shaving or continuing to act hawkish, how Bitcoin performs depends entirely on his words. Saylor is increasing the position again; this guy really doesn’t waste a penny. Is holding 650,000 coins not enough? It’s ridiculous; political panic causes the coin price to big dump. If it’s so easy to play people for suckers, who would dare to buy the dip? Easy monetary cycle + Central Bank endorsement + Whale layout, this combination has not been in vain; a reversal could happen at any time. Humans are always trading coins in the crevice of power and money. Whipsaw or strangulation? We’ll know on the 12th. As a gambler, I’m already prepared for a fall to 70,000. Pension funds are about to allocate Bitcoin; what does that make me, a small retail investor?

Wait, the Central Bank is starting to buy Bitcoin? How is this going to play out? It really feels like the landscape has changed. Czech Republic's move is incredible; they directly transformed Bitcoin from a risk asset into a strategic asset. Will other countries' central banks follow? Powell's speech this time is crucial; whether liquidity is tightened or not will directly determine the direction moving forward.

The central bank buying coins is really happening, this operation in the Czech Republic is incredible. Powell's speech tomorrow is crucial, it feels like this is the real trigger. Holding 650,000 BTC, Saylor's hand is pretty tough, indicating to increase the position... a bit aggressive. The drop below 87,000 was real panic selling, now it looks like a low-level chip contest. December is really going to change direction, there's definitely potential in liquidity. Is it a whipsaw or a trap? Anyway, it’s best not to enter a position when it's falling. This pullback looks strong, but in reality, it's just building momentum for the next wave, very insightful. The central bank acknowledges this matter, the rules of the game are going to change.

Central Bank buying coins? This move by the Czech Republic is a bit harsh, if it really works out, that would be a true orthodox army catching a falling knife.

Wow, the Czech Central Bank is going to buy Bitcoin? If this really happens, Western central banks will have to follow suit, and then institutional trading will be To da moon.
