Bitcoin is stuck in a tug-of-war around $95,150. The 1-hour chart shows extremely compressed volatility, with an amplitude of only ±0.2%. Such an extremely narrow fluctuation usually indicates an imminent directional breakout.
Trading volume has declined, and many market participants are on the sidelines, with few eager to chase high. This detail is crucial—it suggests that the current upward momentum is more driven by macroeconomic expectations and capital inflows rather than a fundamental shift.
From a technical perspective, two lines are key. The support zone below is between $94,800 and $95,000, which is both the 24-hour low and the area with the most short-term trading activity. Going lower, the $94,500 to $95,000 range was previously a breakout platform, providing strong support. On the upside, the $95,400 to $95,600 range is the intraday resistance, and breaking through here would face a stronger resistance zone at $97,500 to $98,000.
The weekend's particularity is weaker liquidity, which can amplify volatility. However, this often results in less sustainability. Currently, instead of frequent trading, it’s better to observe more and act less, waiting for a confirmed breakout or a convincing pullback before following up. Risk management is crucial—set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance and avoid being swept away by short-term fluctuations.

Another deadlock situation, it's really frustrating to watch. Instead of constantly watching the market for a breakout, it's better to set your stop-loss first. With such weak liquidity over the weekend, what's the point of messing around?

This period of stagnation is indeed uncomfortable, but given the lack of momentum, I think a breakdown will take time... Instead of making reckless moves here, it's better to save ammunition and wait for a real opportunity.

It's another stalemate, so annoying. Looking at charts every day is less satisfying than waiting for a breakout. The weekend liquidity crunch already makes it hard to have fun.

Here comes that same old compressed volatility theory again... Every time, they say it will break out, but I’ve already memorized the story of three days of sideways movement. But over the weekend, I really need to be more cautious; with such poor liquidity, only the brave dare to chase highs.
