Regarding the trend, it shows a combination of a rising flag pattern, small double tops followed by a pullback, and range-bound consolidation—three overlapping formations. After Japan's rate hike, the market reaction was subdued, with no deep sell-off as expected.
From the macro perspective, the upward trend remains intact; the flag pattern is just a normal correction within a bullish continuation. On the smaller cycle, after the double top, the market entered a sideways consolidation, which is a natural fluctuation during the correction phase. The indicators showed bearish divergence at the double top, indicating that short-term upward momentum is waning, but later indicators gradually recovered and did not continue to weaken.
In terms of volume, it is quite critical—during the flag consolidation, trading volume kept shrinking, which perfectly aligns with the volume characteristics of a bullish continuation, suggesting the medium-term bullish pattern has not changed.
Recent strategy: Positioning long orders around 4320, with key resistance levels at 4340 and 4350. The correlation between gold and mainstream cryptocurrencies still exists, and the recent performance of gold is worth monitoring. $BTC $ETH

Flag pattern consolidation with shrinking volume, I've seen this trick before. I'm just worried that a big bearish candle might break the illusion directly afterward.

Flag continuation pattern, shrinking volume, waiting for a breakdown... The recent rate hike in Japan really doesn't have much impact. Entering long positions at 4320 feels okay, just worried it might be another trap.

Data shows that the volume is shrinking, but the relay logic can still hold. Let's wait and see if 4320 can hold, as the historical low hasn't been reached yet. Miners are consuming too much.

Flag pattern consolidation with shrinking volume, this combination of tactics is working okay, but the subdued reaction to Japan's rate hike is a bit strange.
