Recently, the performance of several popular targets in the crypto market has been quite interesting. Bitcoin first surged past the $95,000 mark, reaching a high of $97,924, but then pulled back and is now steady around $95,081. Ethereum is not far behind, breaking through $3,400, but also retraced, currently at $3,308. As for Solana, it peaked at $148 and is now quoted at $142.

One phenomenon worth noting is that these three coins are moving in a similar rhythm—initial rapid upward movement followed by a pullback upon encountering resistance. However, in terms of trend strength, BTC's breakout appears more certain. In comparison, ETH and SOL are still repeatedly testing key resistance zones and have not yet formed particularly clear breakout signals.

My personal view is to observe how the market performs tonight. If subsequent support levels are confirmed and new buy signals appear on the technical side, then entering long positions at that time would be more prudent. Of course, it still depends on how the candlestick patterns and trading volume coordinate.

What does everyone think about this wave of market movement? If you have any technical observations or trading ideas, feel free to discuss together.

BTC-0.66%

ETH0.27%

SOL-1.55%

BTC this wave is indeed fierce, but that high point at 97924 feels like a trap to lure more buyers. Currently back above 95K, but we still need to see if it can hold. ETH and SOL are a bit awkward; they are clearly rallying but don't seem to have any definitive breakthroughs, feeling like they're repeatedly testing the waters. Let's wait for tonight's movement; anyway, I'm not in a rush to buy the dip.

BTC breakout confirmed, but I'm still waiting, afraid of getting crushed if I jump in now. ETH is a bit disappointing this round, still repeatedly confirming. SOL's 148 didn't hold either; these three coins are moving so similarly that it's a bit suspicious. Tonight is crucial; watch how the trading volume cooperates. Without confirmed support, I don't dare to buy in. Actually, I think this kind of repeated rally and pullback pattern looks more like the main players are shaking out weak hands. Just wait a bit; there will be more opportunities. No need to rush into chasing highs.

Hmm, BTC is still fluctuating here, really impressive --- ETH is still holding back, no clear signals yet --- Let's wait and see how it moves tonight, jumping in now might be a bit hasty --- Whether SOL can break through this wave depends on the trading volume, feels uncertain --- Honestly, if three coins have the same rhythm, it's just a trap. It's not too late to wait for a phase confirmation before playing --- Missed the wave at 97924, it's quite frustrating to see now --- BTC is relatively more stable, I agree, but ETH still feels a bit weak

BTC this wave is indeed stable, but ETH and SOL are still playing tricks. I'm not in a hurry to catch the falling knives; I'll wait until the support is truly established before taking action.

It's the same old trick... surge and then fall back, I knew it would turn out like this. BTC can still be watched, but ETH and SOL... really can't hold up much longer. Waiting for support confirmation? I'm afraid I might wait until nightfall and still have no result. This wave will either explode or keep tormenting us repeatedly, there's no middle ground. And the trading volume, why does it look so dull...
