The weekend market rhythm is quite interesting. Bitcoin briefly surged to a high of 91983 when the US stock market opened last night, then quickly fell under selling pressure, bottoming out at 90049 around midnight; Ethereum followed the same pattern, initially rising to 3144 before retracing downward, with the lowest touching around 3064.



From a technical perspective, this wave of market movement is quite deliberate. On the 4-hour K-line, after a volume-driven long bullish candle, the price broke through the middle band of the Bollinger Bands but was immediately met with selling pressure, leaving a very obvious long upper shadow—indicating that the selling pressure above is still quite heavy. Although the bullish and bearish momentum indicators are slightly rising, the key point still depends on whether these resistance levels can be truly broken.

Switching to the 1-hour cycle makes it even clearer. After the price broke above the middle band, it immediately retraced, and then it has been oscillating below the middle band, which is a typical technical correction. Plus, since the weekend market liquidity is relatively tight and trading activity is shrinking, rebounds in this environment are often traps for more selling.

**Trading strategy**:

For BTC, consider short positions around 91,000, with a focus on targeting 89,500 below; for ETH, a similar short idea around 3100, with a target near 3000. During these weekend days, rebounding to short is the right approach.

At this stage, the market is essentially a tug-of-war between bullish and bearish forces. Those who patiently wait for confirmation signals often get more solid opportunities.

It's the weekend again with the typical trap, and this time it's a bit fierce. This rebound is definitely a move to cut the leeks, as the middle band of the Bollinger Bands is pierced and then quickly pulled back, with long upper shadows clearly visible. Anyway, I don't believe that weekend trading volume can really turn the tide. I'm optimistic about the 89,500 support level; we'll see then.

It's the weekend again, time to lure more buyers. This one is empty.

The trap is coming again; we still need to see if next week can break through. Short positions over the weekend are not easy to execute.

It's another trap to lure in buyers; weekends are meant for relaxing and having fun.

The trap of诱多 is back again. With such poor liquidity over the weekend, daring to chase highs, no wonder you're getting smashed.

Push up to 91,000, and 3,100 is following along. The weekend rhythm is indeed tempting more gains.

It's the weekend's trap again, and this time I still couldn't escape.

The pump-and-dump scheme is back again, and the buying enthusiasm this weekend is outrageous.
