🔍 Price movement
Current price: fluctuating in the range of 115,800 – 123,800 USD, with an average price of about 119,800 USD.
Latest volatility: BTC has decreased by about 2% after reaching its peak, currently trading around 116,250 – 118,200 USD.
Main reasons: Profit-taking pressure from investors, US inflation data (PPI, CPI) and cautious sentiment ahead of Fed's interest rate decisions.
🌐 Macroeconomic factors influence

Crude oil reserves increase significantly: Leading to higher energy costs → negatively affecting market sentiment.
Cryptocurrency week in the US: Bills supporting crypto are being reviewed, creating long-term positive expectations.

Buy limit: around the range of 116,000 – 117,000 USD, if there is a positive price reaction.
Take profit: 50% at 123,800 USD, the remaining part held until 126,000 USD.
Cut loss: below 115,000 USD to preserve capital.
Capital management: do not use more than 15% of total capital for a single order.
