At the last trading day of the year, Bitcoin and Ethereum are playing a typical game at critical levels. Short-term fluctuations have ups and downs, but the supporting logic remains intact.
In the past two days, Bitcoin has repeatedly tested the 87,000-87,500 range, with the 100-week moving average at 85,769 acting as a guardrail that cannot be casually broken. Looking upward, the 88,000-89,500 range forms a wall, especially the psychological pressure around the 90,000 mark. On the hourly chart, the MACD is contracting and repairing, which usually indicates a short-term rebound opportunity.
Ethereum, on the other hand, seems a bit stuck at the 3,000 level, with support mainly around 2,940-2,900. The daily middle band is at 3,060; breaking through this could lead to 3,150-3,250. Compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum shows slightly stronger resilience.
Year-end liquidity has indeed shrunk somewhat, and trading activity is average. However, on-chain low-level buy orders have been continuously accumulating, and large holders haven't let go. Institutional funds are probably waiting to re-enter after the New Year holiday.
In terms of strategy, BTC can make small swings around 87,800-88,100, with the first target near 89,000. ETH can try around 2,950-2,960, aiming for 3,000.

I find the 87,000-87,500 range quite uncomfortable; I have a feeling it might break... However, if you say MACD is shrinking and repairing, then maybe there's still a chance for a rebound?

Oh no, it's the same old story again. Is 90,000 still a curse? If there's no breakthrough, don't force it.

This level 90000 is really a psychological curse. I get stuck here every time, so frustrating.

Reaching 90,000 is really a mental hurdle, I keep getting stuck here😤 However, the big on-chain players haven't let go, so I still feel hopeful.

This end-of-year market rally feels like it's waiting for institutions to come back and scoop up the positions. Retail investors are probably in holiday mode right now.

87500 is stuck here really tight, it doesn't seem like it can be broken so easily.
