Last week, the market experienced a clear rebound, with gold and global stock assets rising in unison, and related cryptocurrencies also being driven up. However, it is still difficult to judge how long this strong rally will last. The most important thing is to maintain discipline—don't chase after rising longs if you can't keep up, cut losses on wrong shorts promptly, or if your position size is small enough, hold and observe. The crypto market has been playing the high open and retrace routine for many years; precautions are still necessary.



Last Friday, the short positions opened around the 89,500 and 90,500 levels for Bitcoin, and the second short at 3,100 for Ethereum, all eventually hit their stop-loss levels. Although there were signs of sideways movement over the weekend, the retracement was not significant, and the overall trend shows a consolidation phase.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin's weekly chart closed with a medium-sized bullish candle, with the Bollinger Bands still opening downward and declining, and the MACD bearish momentum continuing to shrink, indicating that selling pressure is gradually easing. Both the KDJ and RSI indicators are trending upward, suggesting that this rebound strength should not be underestimated. On the daily chart, Bitcoin is forming a small rounded bottom pattern, and after breaking above the middle band support, it has consecutively closed four bullish candles, breaking through the previous resistance at 91,000, with a high of around 93,380.

The next target is the previous high of 94,400, which is likely to be tested, but it will probably encounter strong resistance there—many bears will be lurking with short positions at this level, making it a defensive price point for many contrarians. Investors should stay alert, avoid chasing the rally, take profits when available, prioritize exiting losing positions, and avoid blindly adding to positions.

It's the same trick again, trapped at 94,400. I've seen through it long ago.

If I hadn't been so greedy last Friday and insisted on shorting at 89500... Seeing BTC rise to 93380 now, I really feel jealous. Stop loss, stop loss—easier said than done. My stop loss is real money. I bet that 94400 hurdle can't be broken... No, I won't gamble anymore. I'm afraid of getting cut again.

Once again, I stopped the loss. This rebound is really fierce. How does 94,400 feel like it's about to become the new slaughterhouse?

Here comes the old tricks in the crypto world again. When there's a rebound, everyone thinks it's about to take off, but it's just the same old routine. Stop-loss, stop-loss, stop-loss—I've heard that so many times my ears are calloused. The short positions got wiped out, and don't force the long positions either. All you can do now is watch the show. The 94,400 level is probably hard to break through; there are too many hidden short positions. Let's just see this rebound play out like this.
