The weekend performance of Bitcoin finally allowed many to breathe a sigh of relief. After surging to $89,000 on Friday, this time it didn't "spike high and then fall back" as usual, but instead steadily held above the $88,000 support level. Even more interesting, this rebound triggered a rally across global risk assets, with leading AI stocks in the US stock market also rebounding strongly, and the overall market sentiment noticeably improving.



The news of Japan's interest rate hike finally materialized, and the previous panic atmosphere eased significantly. But the question remains—does this mean a new bull market is about to restart? I’ve reviewed various signals from the recent market, and found that many investors have overlooked some key details.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin is currently stuck at the final position of a converging triangle pattern, oscillating within the $88,000 to $90,000 range. What’s different this time is that during the correction, trading volume has been shrinking. What does this indicate? Selling pressure is weakening, and market sell-offs are less aggressive.

Another detail worth noting: although Bitcoin’s price is still hovering below the 50-day moving average, the RSI indicator has rebounded from the oversold zone to a neutral level. This is like the market taking a "breath," preparing for the next directional move. Ethereum is also holding strong at the $3,000 psychological level, and the ETH/BTC ratio has rebounded above 0.034. What does this signal usually mean? The altcoin season may be approaching, and some funds have already started quietly positioning.

88,000 support is steady, it feels like this wave is really different, the shrinking trading volume indicates that the selling pressure isn't as fierce anymore. Is the imitation season coming? I'm already positioning myself, waiting to see ETH take off. RSI has rebounded to neutral, the market is catching its breath, the next move is crucial. But don't be too optimistic, we're still below the 50-day moving average, the real test hasn't come yet. Will this be another false alarm? After all, we've seen too many instances of sharp rises followed by declines. The rate hike in Japan has actually eased the panic, which is interesting—risk assets are rallying across the board. The 89,000 mark hasn't been broken down, indicating there are still buyers. Let's see if it breaks 90,000; for now, it's still oscillating within the triangle. The converging triangle is in its final position, the decision is coming soon—hold on to your chips.

88,000 supports are very steady, finally no more peeing in fear every day. This time, it feels a bit different.

Is 88,000 stable and then start to boast? I think, this time it might really be different. The shrinking trading volume indicates that the selling pressure isn't as fierce. The altcoin season is coming, and my small coin bag is already eager and impatient. RSI rebounded from oversold levels; this move is indeed a bit interesting. If 90,000 can't be broken, it will just be another false alarm. Just wait and see. I didn't notice the detail that ETH is holding at 3000; no wonder some people have been secretly bottom-fishing altcoins these past two days.

The shrinking trading volume is well explained. The sellers really have no strength left, it just feels like we're missing a reason to ignite the market.

Huh, did this time's 88,000 really stabilize? Not like the usual fake-out. Is shrinking trading volume a good thing or a trap... feeling a bit anxious. Are altcoins about to take off? My small coins are still lying on the floor. RSI rebounded from oversold, sounds like a reversal attempt to push the market. Japan's rate hike landing, US stocks rising together—can this combo lead to a big move? The final position of the converging triangle, feels like the moment before a roller coaster ride. ETH holding at 3000, I think today's rally still has potential.

I also noticed the shrinking trading volume, it feels like that quiet moment before dawn... But is the knockoff season really coming? I'm still a bit unable to hold back.
