Saturday Morning Market Analysis and Trading Ideas

The recent rebound overnight was quite interesting. Bitcoin recovered from a low of 86,760 to around 87,727 and started to consolidate, and Ethereum was not to be outdone, rising from 2,893 to around 2,938. This strong correlation indicates that funds are still testing the waters.

Looking back at previous trades, the short-term long positions around 87,000 on Bitcoin performed well, effectively hitting resistance levels. The current situation is that the market has just undergone a stress test and is now in a recovery phase. You can sense that this is a consolidation pattern—there's a low probability of a one-sided trend.

As the weekend approaches, a range-bound consolidation is expected to continue. This kind of market tests your sense of rhythm—shorting at highs and adding positions at lows, while keeping your leverage in check.

Specifically:
Consider shorting Bitcoin in the 87,800-88,300 range, with support around 87,000.
Short Ethereum around 2,980-2,960, targeting 2,910.

Don't be greedy, control your risk, and the market will give you feedback.

It's another period of fluctuation. The short position from yesterday was really stuck tightly. Now, let's see if we can hold above 87,000.

ngl the "整理的味道" observation is actually pretty solid... well technically what they're describing is classic ranging behavior post-retest. imagine if everyone just admitted markets do this instead of always chasing the next breakout lol

Bro, you really need to get a good sense of the rhythm in this move, or you'll get trapped easily. You must hold the line at 87,000.

Once again, we're in this stagnant market, really testing human nature. Selling high and buying low sounds easy in theory, but it requires discipline in practice. The 87,000 level is indeed tough, but greed will eventually lead to a crash.
