BTC 4-hour rally losing momentum? MACD bullish strength weakening, the key level is here

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】BTC’s performance over the past 4 hours is indeed worth paying attention to. The price has clearly risen compared to yesterday (2026-01-10 20:00), although it has pulled back slightly from the midday level (2026-01-09 12:00). The bullish candlestick pattern is still quite evident. The last candlestick closed higher than it opened, indicating an upward trend from the candlestick shape.

However, there is a detail to be cautious about: trading volume is shrinking. While the price is going up, the volume is decreasing, which usually means the upward momentum is weakening. The bulls might be a bit exhausted.

From a technical indicator perspective, the MACD histogram is still positive but gradually getting shorter, confirming what I mentioned above — the bullish strength is waning. The KDJ indicator is currently neutral (value at 42), with no clear golden cross or death cross signals, so no strong directional signs are visible for now. Overall, the market is not showing a particularly obvious trend, remaining in a somewhat ambiguous state.

Based on key price levels from technical analysis:

Bullish outlook: If you want to go long, the first buy-in opportunity is at 86196.82, the second at 90992.34. The stop-loss for longs is set at 89775.64. The support level is at 90174.0, which should be closely watched.

Bearish outlook: For selling, consider at 91316.0 and 93980.76. The stop-loss for shorts is at 94309.2.

Price reference: The recent resistance is at 91316.0, which is a critical level; whether it can be broken will determine the subsequent direction. The recent high is 93840.0, and the low is 90226.77.

In summary, BTC is currently in a state of volume-price divergence, with the upward momentum hitting a bottleneck. Bulls should not be too aggressive, and bears should not be overly optimistic. It might be more prudent to act once clearer signals emerge.

The tactic of shrinking volume is so old-fashioned. Playing like this every time, are the bulls really that weak?

The shrinking volume really can't be sustained anymore; it feels like the bulls are running out of energy.

The divergence between price and volume... is similar to a contract permission vulnerability logic I audited before. The surface data looks good, but the underlying parameters have already been exposed. The decline in bullish momentum is not a signal issue, but a factual issue.

Coming back with this again? When volume shrinks and prices rise, that's what I fear the most. Last time it happened like this, I got crushed directly, haha.

The issue of price-volume divergence really tests one's mindset. Prices go up, but the feeling of no one stepping in to buy is truly uncomfortable.
