Throughout Thursday, Bitcoin continued its weak trend. It initially surged to around 91,666 but failed to hold, then steadily declined, with the lowest touching around 89,242 before rebounding. Ethereum showed a similar pattern, with a morning high of 3,183 and a low of 3,052 in the evening.
On the trader side, a long-short combination was deployed. The early long positions lost 400 points on $BTC and 19 points on $ETH due to the trend reversal. However, the subsequent two short setups were successfully executed—$BTC two shorts accumulated a profit of 2,000 points, and $ETH two shorts gained 100 points.
From a technical perspective, the four-hour K-line has formed three consecutive bearish candles. Although there was a slight rebound recently, the Bollinger Bands are still trending downward, and the overall market remains in the lower range. This rebound is merely a correction for the bears, and a true reversal signal has not yet appeared. The one-hour chart shows a large bullish candle breaking through the middle Bollinger Band but then losing momentum, indicating that the buying pressure is insufficient. Under the current lack of buying strength, short-term upward momentum is unlikely to sustain.
Midnight Strategy: Continue with a bearish outlook.
$BTC: Enter short positions around 91,000, target 89,000 $ETH: Enter short positions around 3,130, target 3,000

Short position made another 2,000 profit? This move definitely caused the bulls to suffer heavy losses.

A short-term correction is just a correction. Don't be fooled by the rebound; continue to stay bearish.

Short positions made a lot of profit, but the 400-point loss on longs really hurts.

It's the same old bearish correction routine. It looks quite reasonable, but I just have a feeling I'll get proven wrong.

Morning long positions got wiped out, but luckily the short positions saved the day, or else it would have been a huge loss.
