Happy New Year everyone. Today, let's focus on some key issues facing short-term trading.
From the daily chart, Bitcoin has been a bit stuck these days—the MA30 moving average at $8.9 has been a tough barrier to break through. The selling pressure above is quite fierce; every time it tries to rally, it gets pushed back down, with increasingly dense long upper shadows. Under this situation, the market is still oscillating within a range, and neither bulls nor bears have taken the initiative. Simply put, it's consolidating, waiting for signals.
The hourly chart is even more straightforward: the price has directly broken through the upper Bollinger Band and fallen below the lower band, entering an oversold area. Although there was a brief rebound in the middle, the momentum hasn't reversed, and the bearish trend still seems quite strong.
A special reminder: today the annual K-line, quarterly K-line, and monthly K-line are all closing, making this a sensitive time point. Volatility could be quite large. Everyone must strictly manage risk and avoid getting shaken out.
The short-term strategy is as follows:
Bitcoin: Around 88,000-89,000 can be considered for short positions, with targets around 85,000-84,500.
Ethereum: Short near 3000-3020, with targets around 2920-2880.

The 88,000 level really can't hold, feels like a big dump is coming.

Hmm... The Bollinger Bands broke below the lower band into the oversold zone. This bearish move is really aggressive, but I'm still a bit hesitant. Risk management is crucial.

Oh my, once again the MA30 hurdle, suffering from the same illness
Right now, neither bulls nor bears have the decision-making power. When will this consolidation phase pass?
I'm a bit hesitant to short at 88000, feeling like big players are lurking below to buy the dip
This wave is indeed dangerous, with the monthly, quarterly, and seasonal charts all showing consolidation, and the price keeps dropping. I need to reduce my position
Is 85000 the real bottom? Come on, there will definitely be a rebound to trap the bulls
When the Bollinger Bands cross below the lower band, it indicates oversold conditions. The rebound probably won't last long
The second coin's momentum is really strong this time, even fiercer than the main coin
Risk control, risk control, risk control. I've repeated it three times, but I still feel a bit anxious

Getting stuck at 8.9 is really stubborn, every time I push, it gets hammered back, so annoying.
I need to think more about this long position on Bitcoin, I feel like risk control needs to be closely monitored.
The monthly, quarterly, and seasonal K-lines are all closing simultaneously. Today might be turbulent, hold onto your chips.
The 3000 level for ETH is a key point, it's interesting. I'm optimistic about the upcoming performance.
I shorted at 88000, betting that the market can reach the 85,000 range.
The Bollinger Bands have broken below the lower band, this signal is quite obvious. The bear market isn't over yet.
The consolidation signals are moderate; I feel we should wait a bit longer before making a move.
Will 85,000 become a key support? It seems like everyone is watching this level.
The end-of-year market is just bouncing around, it's exhausting.
Today’s timing is really sensitive, everyone should be cautious to avoid liquidation.

Coming back to push the line and harvest? I don't believe 88,000 can't be broken. Betting on a bullish move.

88,000 is empty? Forget it, wait to be trapped. This move is just a trap to shake out the shorts. The bulls are not dead yet.

Wow, you're organizing again. This wave of bears is indeed a bit strong. I'm just waiting to see if the yearly K-line can give some signals.
