The rebound trend has been initially established, and the weekend's fluctuations are quite typical. Looking at the four-hour chart, $BTC is currently oscillating along the upper Bollinger Band. Although there was a brief pullback in the short term, the overall downtrend is gradually stabilizing. The hourly chart is even more interesting—five consecutive bearish candles plunged down, directly hitting the lower Bollinger Band before a rebound and correction occurred. This is a common rhythm over the weekend; after small market fluctuations, a period of adjustment and accumulation is needed to gather the directional momentum for the next wave.

What’s the next step? Consider opening short positions in batches at the oscillation highs. In this kind of sideways consolidation environment, positioning at the highs often yields a better risk-reward ratio.

This weekend's move was indeed classic, with five consecutive bearish candles crashing down to the lower band before bouncing back. That's the kind of trend I love to watch. Opening short positions at multiple high points sounds good, but I'm still a bit hesitant. I always feel like weekends are easy to get trapped. The Bollinger Bands at this position are indeed interesting. If the upper band doesn't break through with volatility, let's keep observing. This rebound isn't very strong. I still feel there's more to come. You're right, the logic of consolidating and building momentum has always been effective. It all depends on whether I can hold on.

This weekend's move is quite interesting. Five consecutive bearish candles dropped and still managed to rebound, indicating there is support below. Taking short positions in batches at the highs sounds good, but do you really dare to enter now?

ngl the bollinger band setup you're describing sounds clean, but have you stress-tested the game theory here? shorting at oscillation peaks feels intuitive until liquidity dynamics flip on you mid-weekend... just saying, the composability between technical signals and actual on-chain order flow sometimes tells a different story than the charts lol

This weekend's rebound was truly a textbook-level bottoming and rally. I almost chased the high, haha. But I need to think about the strategy of opening short positions at the high points. I always feel that setting up over the weekend is prone to pitfalls.

Wait, five consecutive bearish candles precisely hitting the lower Bollinger Band? The probability of that seems a bit strange, as if someone is targeting a specific price level...

This weekend's move was really comfortable for bottom fishing, just worried that there might be a dump again later.

The weekend rhythm is indeed incredible. Five consecutive bearish candles directly hit the lower band before bouncing back. This is a textbook example of Bollinger Bands giving a reality check.
