Recently, discussions about the future trend in the market have remained hot. Some analysts expect the main index to hit a new high in January next year, but their technical analysis team offers a different perspective—believing that BTC may retrace to the $60,000 to $65,000 range in the first half of the year. This "self-contradiction" immediately sparked heated debate among traders.

Many suspect that the true intention behind such calls is to cover up for distribution. Others mockingly comment that they have heard many predictions of "new highs," each of which gets gradually pushed back and often ends up as a joke.

From the market's actual performance, it is clear that some pressure is currently present. Demand has declined, Ethereum spot ETF has experienced net selling, and funding rates are also decreasing—these are signals of weakening market sentiment. Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that investors' judgments on the subsequent trend are divided.
