Bitcoin Flat; High Network Congestion Signals Caution

I see Bitcoin trading at $117,796 (≈₽9,403,912) with virtually no change over the last hour. The orderbook shows a best bid at ₽9,495,871 (+1.0%) and a best ask at ₽9,600,000 (+2.1%), implying a roughly 1.1% spread.

The Bitcoin network is heavily congested with about 54,242 transactions awaiting confirmation, which increases the risk of delays and higher fees for on-chain transfers.

I’m going to watch conditions closely and avoid initiating new positions until congestion eases or the spread tightens; I may consider buying on a clear dip or when on-chain activity normalizes.
