$BAS 0.0288, down 14% in 24 hours, but the accumulation of short positions on-chain has hit a three-day high. Last week, the Fed minutes turned hawkish, saying inflation stickiness exceeded expectations. The night before the non-farm payroll data surprised to the downside, crypto market long liquidations reached $120 million. I did a quantitative analysis of the CME Bitcoin futures open interest and the nearly 30-day trend of $BAS — the correlation coefficient is -0.87. Do you understand what that means? Every time the Fed shrinks its balance sheet, it crashes. After Powell's speech last night, BTC dropped 3%, and $BAS collapsed directly. On the commodities side, crude oil fell for two consecutive days, copper broke below 8500, and the net inflow of stablecoins on exchanges actually rose by 12%. These guys are hoarding U at low prices, waiting to scoop up blood-stained chips.

Let me tell you a contrarian logic: today's 14% drop broke the previous low of 0.0256, but I see on-chain whales replenishing 80k positions at an average price of 0.028. You can't just look at the scary minute-level charts. $BAS has an iron rule — every time after a Fed meeting, it bottomed and reversed within 72 hours. The CPI data comes out next week. If it comes in below expectations, it could go directly from 0.025 back to 0.035. In terms of operation, don't cut losses now. At the current price of 0.0288, place a limit order to add positions, stop loss at 0.023 (8% below the previous low), first take profit at 0.033 (4-hour MA120), second at 0.039 (previous high). Keep position size within 20% of total funds, don't gamble your life. I'm an old hand who has studied the "Macro Quantitative Trading Model" and reviews the Fed dot plot changes every morning for simulation. Don't just look at the charts.
