As of 4:00 PM on January 9th, Bitcoin is fluctuating around $90,800, with intraday swings between $89,200 and $91,400. From a technical perspective, the MACD on the daily chart has already formed a death cross, and the green histogram is expanding, indicating that short-term bearish momentum is strengthening. However, on the 4-hour chart, the RSI has rebounded from the oversold area, suggesting a technical correction is needed, which provides some breathing room for the bulls.



There is considerable pressure on the market. ETF outflows continue, coupled with profit-taking by investors who previously saw large gains, all of which increase selling pressure. Over the past 24 hours, the total liquidation of contracts across the network exceeded $460 million, with over 90% of liquidations being long positions, indicating that bullish investors are being hit hard.

The good news is that buy orders below $90,000 remain quite solid. When Bitcoin briefly touched $89,200 yesterday, it quickly rebounded, showing that the support at that level is indeed strong. Considering the technical patterns, capital flows, and the strength of this support level, it is unlikely that the price will suddenly break below $90,000 on the evening of January 9th.

However, caution is advised ahead of the upcoming non-farm payroll data release, as market sentiment may become more volatile and nervous, leading to faster fluctuations. The performance of Ethereum and Binance Coin in recent days has generally followed Bitcoin's rhythm.

Over 90% liquidation in long positions, these people are really outrageous

The 900,000 threshold has been maintained again, but this time it's not so easy... The bulls are stunned after being crushed; who can withstand a liquidation of 460 million? Non-farm payrolls are coming, so be even more cautious; this wave of emotional damage is significant. ETFs are still bleeding; it depends on whether they can stop the decline later. 8.92 is a lifeline; if it drops further, it will be really awkward. The MACD death cross is so obvious; a rebound will only be a patch-up. This rhythm feels a bit like a déjà vu of 2023...

The 90,000 threshold seems to be a classic trust cost issue—whoever jumps first loses. A liquidation of over 90% long positions... Another vivid example of distorted incentives. Is this what you call market self-regulation? Or rather, mechanism design treating retail investors as leeks to be harvested. Volatility before non-farm payrolls? That's when the imbalance of interests is most obvious—big players exploit information gaps, while small investors become cannon fodder.

hypothesis: we're witnessing a classic Byzantine generals problem where bears and bulls can't reach consensus, but that 90k support is basically the oracle network's last defense layer before chaos...

90% of liquidations are long positions. How devastating is that? My friend was still calling for a bottom yesterday.
