Looking at BTC's recent one-hour trend, a few details are worth pondering.

The price repeatedly oscillates around the 95200 USDT level, with only a 0.65% fluctuation over 24 hours, indicating that market participation remains somewhat conservative. Markets with such low volatility often hint at brewing something.

The most critical level is 94760 USDT. It acts like a watershed; holding above it can maintain a high-level consolidation in the short term, while losing it might trigger a correction. The resistance above, in the 97000 to 98000 range, is a longstanding difficulty, with multiple cycle indicators stacked there, making a breakthrough challenging.

Support levels below start at 95000, then 94500, and finally 94000, forming a layered support ladder. This support hierarchy actually provides some room for the bulls to imagine.

Honestly, in the short term, the most probable scenario is continued oscillation and consolidation. If a breakout is to happen, trading volume must cooperate; a price breakout alone is meaningless. Only a volume breakout can reveal the direction. Therefore, keeping an eye on changes in trading volume is key.

0.65% volatility, this is called holding a big move, sooner or later it will move.

95200 keeps rubbing at this level, feels like waiting for something... If the volume can't pick up, don't expect a breakout. It seems we still have to keep watching the show for this wave.

nah, 0.65% volatility is just the market catching its breath before someone gets liquidated lmao. that 94760 line though... classic support theater. everyone and their grandma knows it's there, so naturally it'll probably get nuked the second real volume shows up.

If the volume doesn't match the price, then it's just joking. The current market is indeed a bit dull; let's wait for a breakout signal.

If trading volume doesn't keep up, it's all for nothing. What exactly is being brewed in this wave?

0.65% fluctuation... Hmm, it's too quiet. This kind of silence often signals that large funds are secretly positioning themselves.

Schrödinger's breakthrough, let the equal energy wake itself up... To be honest, this wave is just drawing a rectangle in the aesthetic sense, perfectly illustrating the philosophy of a bear market from a technical perspective.
