The first day of 2026, Bitcoin has recently shown some vitality. Based on the current rebound levels, the 88,000 position can be considered for phased profit-taking, and if the upward trend continues, focus on the resistance around 86,000.
On the Ethereum side, short-term support is near 2,880, which is also a critical level.
With the New Year approaching, crypto friends are all pondering how this wave of market will unfold. The period around the Spring Festival has always been a sensitive time window, with many large funds either pre-positioning or taking profits in advance. Whether the market can continue to push higher depends on whether these key levels can be effectively broken.
Anyway, I wish everyone smooth trading in the new year and a prosperous 2026.

Is it really necessary to reduce positions at 88,000? I feel like I can still push further.
During the Spring Festival, caution is definitely needed. Big funds are all waiting for opportunities.
Ethereum at 2880 is a bit risky; if it can't break through, a shakeout is inevitable.
Happy New Year, everyone. Hopefully, our wallets will get fatter.
Whether we can get past the 86,000 hurdle depends on today's performance.

The suggestion to reduce positions at 88,000 sounds reasonable, but I think many people will still be greedy and chase higher, increasing the risk of getting trapped.
Before the Spring Festival, this round of operations requires caution; large funds won't be so kind as to push prices higher with us.
2880 is really a watershed for Ethereum; if it can't break through, it will be awkward.
Honestly, it's good enough if this market trend can last until the New Year; don't expect a meteoric rise at the start of the year.

Is reducing position at 88,000 really serious? I'm still debating whether to get in now.
Be really careful during this window around the Spring Festival. If big funds move out early, what should we do?
2880 feels a bit risky; in the short term, it seems to be under pressure.
Can this wave break through the key level? It feels a bit risky.
Reduce positions, reduce positions. Every day someone talks about reducing positions, but the ones actually cutting losses are us retail investors.
86,000 key level? I think we need to watch a bit more.

88000 reducing positions is good, just worried about trembling hands causing continuous adding to positions
Ethereum at 2880 feels a bit risky, depends on Bitcoin's mood
During the Spring Festival, I usually don't trade, large funds have gone for the holiday, the market is prone to collapse

88000 is really a hurdle; it feels like we need to see if we can stabilize before and after the Spring Festival.
Wait, if it breaks around 86000, does that mean we have to fall back again?
Honestly, this kind of timing is the easiest to have surprises.
Ethereum at 2880 feels a bit risky; the timing doesn't seem quite right.
Anyway, I've already cut my position in half; the rest is just a gamble.
Large funds are definitely shaking out before the Spring Festival; without patience, you can't play this game.
I want to buy the dip at 88000, but I always feel it's not that simple.
With the start of 2026, this market is a bit frustrating; better to cash out early and secure profits.

Is 88,000 really going to be reduced? It still feels like it can continue to surge.
The recent Spring Festival period is indeed sensitive; big players have probably been planning this for a while.
I'm watching Ethereum at 2880; once it breaks through, it will take off.
The market has been quite exciting these days, bringing a new atmosphere for the New Year.
For 86,000, we need to keep a close eye; if it breaks, there might be a pullback.

On-chain data shows that the 88,000 resistance level is indeed worth paying attention to. I've been monitoring large fund movements during the Spring Festival window... as expected.
Just checked the contract deployment situation late at night. The pressure around 86,000 is quite interesting. From the code, this rebound still has potential.
Reducing positions at 88,000, holding the line at 86,000, and supporting Ethereum with 2,880... It feels like a familiar pattern. Based on past experience, such key price levels before the Spring Festival are often tested repeatedly.
Monitoring indicates that large investors have recently shown some signs of restlessness.

Reaching 88,000 is really a point to be cautious about. Last time, I was greedy and didn't sell, and I ended up being trapped for a long time. Whether Ethereum can hold steady at 2880 is the key.
Before the Spring Festival, this wave of market movement seems to be betting on the big funds' pre-holiday trend, which is a bit exciting.
Wishing everyone a prosperous New Year. I'm going to check the candlestick charts first.
