Bitcoin recently surged to around $89,000 but quickly turned downward. The selling pressure at this level is indeed significant. Currently, it is fluctuating around $88,000, with occasional rebounds but clearly lacking strength. Each rebound high is lower than the previous one, indicating that buyer enthusiasm is waning.



From the moving averages perspective, the situation is also not very optimistic. The previously upward trending moving average system has flattened and shows signs of slight downward inclination, which means that the bears are quietly gaining strength. Although there is support below, if the consolidation phase does not break through the resistance above after some time, testing the support levels downward becomes a high-probability event.

The key issue is that the continuous buying volume cannot keep up. Without new incremental funds entering the market, this consolidation can easily evolve into a bearish continuation pattern. From a trading perspective, it is advisable to watch for opportunities to short when rebounds weaken, or to directly follow the downtrend after key supports are broken. Attention should also be paid to relevant technical changes in ETH.

When 89,000 was smashed down, I knew it was over. The amount of selling pressure is really... To be honest, those still holding bullish positions now have quite a big nerve.

89,000 is the ceiling; no one dares to take over, that's true.

ngl, the correlation coefficient between btc rejection at 89k and eth's order book depth is screaming "market inefficiency." classic basis arbitrage setup if you're actually watching the spread, but most people just see red candles and panic sell. honestly, if you're not calculating your risk-adjusted returns on this move, you're just gambling with extra steps.

The pressure of 89,000 is so heavy, buy orders are really not working anymore.

The 89,000 wave was definitely a trap to attract buyers. Looking at it now, it seems like they're accumulating funds downward.

look, if you actually analyze the mempool data during these rejection candles at 89k, the transaction throughput literally proves institutional buyers are pulling liquidity. technically speaking, that's demonstrably inefficient price discovery.
