Summary: The Air Force is temporarily ahead, but the multi-army will never give up

After a short period of weekly highs, BTC and ETH have experienced different degrees of corrections, and the shorts are currently in a leading position. In addition, the whales who previously bought BTC and ETH have also chosen to take profits. However, industry insiders and analysts including James Wynn and Arthur Hayes generally believe that it is difficult for the price of BTC to fall below 100,000, and the longs are still full of expectations. In the short term, the shorts may have the upper hand, but the longs will never give up.
