#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Those who truly understand the industry know that market bottoms are often not when retail investors panic, but rather when even the most steadfast long-term players begin to waver.



Recently, there’s an on-chain indicator worth pondering—Behavior Weighted Trend Signal (BWTS). Its brilliance lies in the fact that it doesn’t just focus on ordinary loss-driven selling, but specifically tracks whether those “settled chips” that should be rock solid are also starting to loosen. When coins held for a long time begin to be sold, it means the market is experiencing a “trend capitulation”—a phenomenon that is a classic signal of emotional exhaustion.

Looking back at historical data reveals an interesting pattern: whenever the red line of BWTS and the black line of BTC price diverge, it usually indicates that panic selling pressure is gradually being absorbed. This divergence is no coincidence; it often appears on the eve of a brewing rebound.

The current BWTS pattern is quite similar to certain past phases. You could interpret it this way: the market already has the basic conditions for a rebound, and as long as this divergence structure remains intact, there’s still potential for upward momentum.

But here’s a word of caution. The Luna crash in May 2022 is a bloody lesson—back then, the market had already formed a divergence structure, but it was directly disrupted by that black swan event, causing the anticipated rebound to die prematurely and triggering an even deeper drop. So, the impact of sudden events can disrupt the market’s natural recovery pace.

From a trading perspective, BWTS gives us a unique angle to observe market sentiment. When even the most patient long-term holders start to capitulate due to short-term pressure, it often means the last batch of sellers is clearing out. And this clearing out usually happens right before a new round of rally begins—the sign that bearish forces have been exhausted is already emerging.

After all this talk about BWTS, it basically comes down to betting that a black swan event won't happen. What happened with Luna was really tough to handle. --- No matter how clear the bottom signals are, one piece of bad news and it's all over. In the end, it still comes down to luck. --- Does long-term players cutting losses equal a bottom? I seem to remember people saying the same thing at the beginning of the year... --- A divergence pattern is brewing for a rebound, sounds convincing but I'm just afraid of a sudden black swan event—then it really won't be funny. --- Instead of analyzing BWTS, it's better to pray that no black swan appears. At the end of the day, this is just a game of probabilities. --- Before the bears are exhausted, our mindset is exhausted first, right?

Bro, this BWTS analysis is actually pretty solid, but I still remember that Luna wave... the painful lesson of heavy losses. Wait, is this current pattern really comparable to back then? Or are we about to get hit by a black swan event again?

Hmm... The Luna incident really taught us a lesson. Black swan events are truly impossible to guard against.

Wake up, the slap from Luna still hasn’t healed yet. Don’t treat history like a joke.

Long-term players cutting their losses is a signal, but the Luna fiasco is still fresh in my mind—black swan events are irrational.

Well said, long-term players cutting their losses is indeed the strongest bottom signal... but that Luna knife still hurts enough, black swans are completely illogical.
