Bitcoin, after breaking through the key resistance at 95,000, is currently undergoing a gradual retracement. According to previous assessments, this pullback may test the support around 90,000, with even the possibility of a breakdown.



After more than a month of consolidation, the bulls finally launched a rally, but it was short-lived and did not lead to a sustained trend. From the monthly chart perspective, a death cross has appeared at high levels, indicating that it will be difficult to see a major bullish breakout in January. At this stage, the market is expected to fluctuate within a range of a few thousand points, and only when the monthly box is fully released will spot traders have a better window for positioning.

In recent evening movements, the bears have continued to pull back to around 89,500, and Ethereum has also fallen to about 3,086. Around the time of the US stock market opening, market conditions may change. The overall trading strategy remains primarily to sell high and buy low.

From a price perspective, positions can be built in batches between 89,500 and 89,000 for longs, and Ethereum can be accumulated in segments between 3,080 and 3,050 for long positions.

In the face of a trending market, some choose to hold their positions unchanged, demonstrating confidence in the overall direction; others prefer to trade swings, entering and exiting frequently to capture the range fluctuations. Honestly, neither approach is absolutely right or wrong. The market itself is like an ATM or a harvesting machine—opportunities are fair to everyone, and the key is who can seize them.

It's the same old story of going long at high altitude and short at low altitude. It sounds so easy when you say it, but when it comes to actually bottoming out, who isn't the one losing the most?

The phrase "a flash in the pan" is used perfectly. With such a small rebound, do you still want it to take off? The monthly death cross directly shatters the dream.

It's dropped again, what a show it is. The probability of breaking through is quite high. Around 89,000 definitely needs to be defended, or else you'll really have to cut your losses. Monthly death cross? Then forget about January. During the consolidation period, you still need to patiently wait for the right window. High short, low long—this strategy is good, but I'm worried about a reverse dump, and it also depends on the mood of the US stock market. Spot traders have it tough; they have to wait until the monthly chart fully releases before acting. When will that happen? ATM and harvest machines—speaking honestly, it all depends on who reacts faster. I need to buy in batches between 89,500 and 89,000; anyway, I won't lose much. Ethereum at 3050 needs to be well defended, or else you'll really have to cut your losses and walk away. Trading swings in a choppy market sounds good, but I'm afraid if the swing isn't well executed, it could lead to even bigger losses. A fleeting moment—this bullish wave was really a waste of effort. It might be better to continue consolidating.

It's the same old trick, just going long at high altitude and then it's over? Who still dares to chase the high now?

Here comes another fleeting moment, I told you not to chase highs earlier, and now look. --- The death cross has already appeared, and you still want to take off in January? Dream on. --- Can we really hold the 89500 level? It feels like it might break again. --- Tired of hearing about high-altitude lows, I just want to know where the bottom is. --- The market is indeed fair, but it's especially unfair to me haha. --- Waiting for the monthly candle box to release? How long do I have to wait? I can't wait. --- Ethereum at 3050 is really attractive, but it depends on BTC's mood. --- Nothing beats a solid bottom-fishing move. --- Which earns more: swing trading experts or HODLers? That's the real question. --- The fluctuations before and after the US stock market opens are just eye-catching talk. --- Why does it always have to retest? Can't it just rise directly to 100,000?

Another fake move, and 95,000 is back so quickly? I already said this rally was too rapid and lacked a solid foundation.
