Today's situation is quite interesting. The bearish pattern remains solid, and during the previous period of consolidation, the index continued to be under pressure and declined. With the volume gradually being released, the bears have completed their buildup and there are signs of warming. Moving forward, there is actually no need to get too caught up in how things will unfold; just steadily maintain a bearish outlook to seize the opportunity for a wave of downward movement.
From the perspective of trading activity, it is currently a bit quiet, but the downward signals are gradually improving. On the daily chart, the index needs to contend with the pressure formed by the middle track, MA300, and MA450 to move upward in the short term. Although KDJ and RSI suggest that bulls still have room for a rebound, the key is to watch the changes in the fast and slow lines — the indicators have just closed from a death cross, and a golden cross has not yet truly formed. If a second divergence occurs, another wave of deep declines will be imminent.
The 4-hour chart of Bitcoin shows the price being pulled back and forth between bulls and bears, with the alternating candlesticks vividly reflecting the market's divergence. After a quick surge last night, Bitcoin has rapidly dropped down and is now stuck in a consolidation range. Looking at the Bollinger Bands, all three bands are opening downward simultaneously, clearly indicating a continued decline in the short term, with bears fully in control of the situation.
On the 1-hour level, although the price once broke through the upper resistance, that long upper shadow tells us how fierce the selling pressure is above. The Bollinger Bands are showing signs of expansion, bullish momentum is accumulating, but the upward space has not yet been fully utilized, and the market is still oscillating within a range; the real trend will have to wait until the direction is clear.
Operation suggestions: $BTC: Short around 89000-89500, targeting the vicinity of 87000-86500. $ETH: Short around 3020-3040, targeting the 2960-2940 area.

It's another short position buildup. I'm wondering if this wave can drop to 86500. It feels like the selling pressure isn't that fierce.

Here we go again with the bearish talk, it's always the same trap, and what happened? They said the same thing last time.

Short positions are so aggressive, I knew there was no hope today after it got dumped last night.
It's all about being bearish, and the Bollinger Bands are widening; the trap is always the same. It feels like we can buy the dip every day?
I didn't quite understand the KDJ death cross convergence part, but anyway, it just means it will fall, right?
Can it really get dumped to 86500 from the 89500 level? It feels a bit uncertain.

Short positions are so determined, it feels like they have to keep dumping today, waiting for a rebound to short up.
The Bollinger Bands have compressed, long positions are a bit weak this round, looking at the 87000 position.
Last night's dump was too fierce, still digesting now, will take action when the signal is clear.
KDJ death cross is tightening, feels like the next divergence is coming, then it will fall again, those holding coins are suffering.
The MA300 and 450 wall is a bit hard, can't go up in the short term, continuing with the short positions strategy is right.
Is the trading heat so cold this round? Are Large Investors waiting for some big event?
The selling pressure above 89500 is so fierce, it seems the fundamentals for shorting are still very solid.
ETH is going to be dragged down again, entering a short at 3020 is still a bit timid, but setting a target at 2940 looks quite appealing.
Bollinger Bands are expanding with long position energy accumulation, but the upward space hasn't been fully utilized, this rhythm is a bit awkward.
The back-and-forth in the range is really annoying, when can we see a real trend market?

Short positions have finished accumulating, huh? We still need to keep an eye on whether a golden cross pattern is formed; otherwise, we'll have to suffer another wave of depth fall.
