U.S. non-farm payrolls data came in far below expectations, adding only 50,000 jobs. This should have boosted expectations for a rate cut, but instead it became the trigger for Bitcoin's sell-off. According to on-chain data, if BTC drops below $89,000, $940 million in long positions face liquidation risk; if it falls below the $84,000 support level, it could trigger a chain liquidation of $10.6 billion. This scale already accounts for 20% of the 24-hour trading volume, no wonder bears are eager to strike.



From a technical perspective, the 4-hour chart has already formed a long upper shadow with a headless candle, directly breaking through the 60-day moving average and the lower Bollinger Band. The once-stable $90,000 level was instantly pierced like paper. Trading volume continues to shrink, with a decline of over 37%, and there was little volume to support the rebound. The CME futures gap between $88,000 and $87,000 coincides with the dense liquidation zone; once broken, the target drops to around $75,000.

However, uncertainties always exist. If institutional investors start defending the market based on the nominal rate cut expectations and release a large amount of volume during the rally, breaking through the $92,000 level is possible. This could trigger a forced short covering of $1.15 billion, potentially leading to a short squeeze.

The operational advice is straightforward: those holding positions should set their stop-loss below $88,000; those on the sidelines should not rush to buy the dip. Wait until panic appears at $84,000 or a volume breakout above $92,000, then act accordingly. High leverage is not advisable; in this kind of volatile market, surviving is the biggest winner.

Once again, non-farm payrolls are causing trouble. The rate cut signal instead triggered a sell-off. This logic is really absurd. Damn, breaking 84,000 means a liquidation of 10.6 billion, which is a bit scary. Did it really break 90,000 just like that? Who said it was stable before? The paper-thin defense line is indeed useless. The scale of 10.6 billion already accounts for 20% of the trading volume. This time, the bears are really about to take off. If the institutions really defend the 92,000 breakthrough, I would force a short squeeze to turn it around, but with such shrinking volume, who would believe it? 75,000 is not a dream. The CME gap is right there. I won't touch high leverage money-making behaviors; staying alive is more important than making money. Wait until 84,000 or 92,000 with increased volume before acting. Discipline is everything. This wave really tests patience. Getting out and waiting for signals is more reliable.

Another market like this, stop-loss at 88,000. If you want to survive, don't use high leverage.

Survive? Sounds nice, but it's basically just being cut off.

Oh no, it's the same story again. Rate cuts are supposed to be positive but instead they cause a sell-off. The logic is hard to grasp. --- 1.06 billion liquidation risk? Bro, either you lie flat this time or bet on institutions to support the market. There's no third option. --- A paper-thin 90,000, I just smile. Didn't I say it was rock solid before? --- Coming out alive is already a win. Really, leverage in this market is just money in your pocket. --- Stopping loss at 8.8 sounds simple, but the psychological barrier is really tough. --- I don't believe in the institution support theory. History always repeats the same play. --- A 37% drop with no volume to follow, feels like there's more to the story. --- Waiting until 8.4 or 9.2 to act—that's a strong mindset I can't achieve. --- Expecting rate cuts for free, huh? The market just loves to go against that.

Here we go again, if the non-farm data is bad, the market crashes. That logic is really brilliant. Oh my god, from 84,000 directly to 75,000. The decline is a bit harsh. Honestly, high leverage is just asking for trouble. I can't understand this wave. Can market support rescue be effective? Feels uncertain. Wait for the panic at 84,000. Let's see who can hold on till the end. The overlap of this gap is a bit frightening. Coming out alive is the real victory. Totally agree.
