Market opinions are diverging: trader Alex Becker pointed out that this plunge may mark the early stage of a bull market; Jan3 founder Samson Mow also believes that Bitcoin is about to start a new upward cycle. In addition, Forbes reported that U.S. President Trump may be one of the largest individual Bitcoin investors in the United States, indirectly holding about $870 million in BTC through his holding company TMTG. 4E reminds investors: signals of deleveraging and institutional accumulation are strengthening, and Bitcoin may be at the starting point of a new cycle after a mid-term adjustment. Macro and political events may become key catalysts for the market going forward.
