Market signals look quite painful—rebound volume can't pick up, clearly a sign of a trap.

On the daily chart, BTC has not truly broken out of the downtrend since the peak of $126,000 in October. The MA5 and MA10 moving averages are firmly holding it down, and although the MACD bearish momentum is shrinking, there's no sign of a reversal. The RSI hovers around 43, indicating a bearish bias. In short, the medium-term weak trend has not improved at all.

The 4-hour chart is even more discouraging. All three rebounds were sharply pushed back at the 88,000 level. Technically, the KDJ indicator has shown a bullish crossover at low levels, but it just can't push the price upward. What's the problem? Volume! During the rebounds, there was no accompanying increase in trading volume—it's classic low-volume oscillation, and the bulls' strength has long been exhausted.

Recent outlook is very clear:
- BTC around 87,500-88,000 is a heavy resistance zone; if it can't break through, no reversal is considered.
- If the weakness continues, support levels are at 86,000-85,500.

诱多确实烦人，但美国就业强劲这事儿也不能完全 ignore 啊 Bullish momentum is really out of steam; if 87,500 can't be broken, I'll admit defeat The rebound has no volume, this is the most heartbreaking signal Will we see 86,000? I'd love to see it

Three consecutive trap-ups, 88000 is just a place to deliver packages Another unlimited rebound, the bulls really have no bullets left If it can't break the 88 level, what's the point of selling? Keep supporting it Every time they say there's a reversal, now we're looking at the story of 86 I have to say, this market is all about playing with psychology

honestly the volume thing is the real tell here... three rejections at 88k and nobody's showing up to fight? that's not bullish, that's exhaustion theater. technically speaking, insufficient validation from buyers—classic pump without the conviction. idk, feels like we're just watching the same trapped longs get shaken out again. bearish structure until proven otherwise, fr.

It's another pump-and-dump, and with such a bleak trading volume, it's really quite hopeless.

Another endless rebound, are the bulls really running out of energy?

The term "诱多" is used perfectly; I believed it every time after three hits. Now I'm at a loss.

There are many temptations, old routines, and everything is in vain if the transaction volume does not cooperate Pressed again at 88000? It means that the bulls are really out of power The rebound of these waves is suffocating, and where is the volume?

Inducing long positions three times already, still struggling at 88K, with trading volume dead as can be. It's really uncomfortable to watch. The bulls are losing momentum; every rebound is just the work of the bagholders. If it can't break through 88K, it will continue to drop, with nothing to look forward to. Strong US employment data is actually a boon for the bears; the Federal Reserve is probably going to turn hawkish again. The most annoying thing is the low volume fluctuations, with no sense of participation at all. I'd rather get liquidated than trade in this environment. 87.5 really can't hold, it feels like 86K won't escape.

Endless trap setups, the 88,000 level has been broken three times and still want to rebound? The repeated false signals are really exhausting, the bullish mindset must have already collapsed.

诱多去你妈的，三次被打下来我就知道没希望了 Unlimited rebounds are really annoying, is this all the bulls can do? Breaking 88,000 is impossible, go find 86,000 instead Just looking at it makes me annoyed, feels like it will drop again Strong US employment data, what's the use, the market speaks for itself This rebound is purely a trap to cut leeks, better hide away
