A popular cryptocurrency analyst known for his YouTube channel, CryptosRUs, issued a call for calm after Bitcoin saw a steep price decline over the weekend.

一位因其 YouTube 频道 CryptosRUs 而闻名的加密货币分析师在比特币周末价格大幅下跌后呼吁保持冷静。

On Dec. 11, Bitcoin (BTC) fell from around $44,000 down to $40,000, a drop of nearly 10% in a short period. It has since rebounded slightly to around $42,000 at the time of this writing.

12月11日，比特币（BTC）从4.4万美元左右跌至4万美元，短时间内跌幅近10%。截至撰写本文时，该价格已小幅反弹至 42,000 美元左右。

According to the analyst, a few potential factors are behind this sudden fall. One is an upcoming meeting between major central banks, such as the European Central Bank, to discuss monetary policy and whether more interest rate hikes are needed to curb inflation.

分析师表示，此次突然下跌背后有一些潜在因素。一是欧洲央行等主要央行即将召开会议，讨论货币政策以及是否需要进一步加息以抑制通胀。

“This could be affecting things a little bit,” said the analyst, though he noted the Federal Reserve seems content with current policy in the United States.

这位分析师表示，“这可能会对事情产生一些影响”，不过他指出，美联储似乎对美国当前的政策感到满意。

According to the analyst, more impactful were several hundred million dollars’ worth of liquidations in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency-leveraged positions. He explained, “When things are good, everyone makes a ton of money with leverage. When things are bad, many people lose a lot of money with leverage.”

这位分析师表示，影响更大的是价值数亿美元的比特币和其他加密货币杠杆头寸的清算。他解释说：“当情况良好时，每个人都可以利用杠杆赚很多钱。当情况不好的时候，很多人都会利用杠杆损失很多钱。”

The analyst suggested that liquidations triggered a “long squeeze,” forcing the price of Bitcoin down very rapidly as overleveraged long positions were wiped out, causing further sell-offs.

这位分析师表示，清算引发了“多头挤压”，随着过度杠杆化的多头头寸被消灭，迫使比特币价格迅速下跌，导致进一步抛售。

However, he also urged calm and a long-term perspective following this drop, even with Bitcoin falling close to 10% from its price a day earlier. He pointed out that Bitcoin has still increased substantially in a short timeframe. Also, it is expected to see retracements of 20-30% or even more during volatile crypto bull cycles.

不过，尽管比特币较前一天价格下跌了近 10%，但他也敦促在此次下跌后保持冷静并保持长远眼光。他指出，比特币在短时间内仍然大幅上涨。此外，在波动的加密货币牛市周期中，预计会出现 20-30% 甚至更多的回撤。

“Sometimes retracements happen. Sometimes whales will do their whalish things,” he said, referring to large individual holders who can influence prices through the sheer size of the capital that they control. He also speculated that exchanges themselves may be involved.

“有时会发生回调。有时鲸鱼会做他们的鲸鱼行为，”他说，指的是大型个人持有者，他们可以通过他们控制的资本规模来影响价格。他还推测交易所本身也可能参与其中。

It may be exchanges wanting to liquidate the longs because they want to collect their fees.

交易所可能想要清算多头，因为他们想要收取费用。

Ultimately, the analyst emphasized dollar cost averaging as the strategy investors should stick to despite price fluctuations. “You gotta see these dips as buying opportunities,” he encouraged viewers. By steadily accumulating during market drops, investors are poised to benefit the most during the next upcycle.

最后，分析师强调，尽管价格波动，投资者仍应坚持美元成本平均策略。 “你必须将这些下跌视为买入机会，”他鼓励观众。通过在市场下跌期间稳步积累，投资者有望在下一个上升周期中获得最大收益。
