Profit-making
Summary: The Air Force is temporarily leading, but many troops will never
give up
After a brief weekly high, BTC and ETH have both ushered in pullbacks to varying degrees, and the Air Force currently occupies a leading position. In addition, the giant whales who had previously bought BTC and ETH also chose to make profits. However, industry insiders and analysts including James Wynn and Arthur Hayes generally believe that it is difficult for BTC to fall below 100,000, and many troops are still full of expectations. In the short term, the Air Force may have the upper hand, but many troops will never give up.
