Bitcoin broke above 86138 last week, forming a solid close, which is a clear bullish signal. Entering long positions from this level is a good choice, but don’t forget to set your stop-loss. Conversely, if 85261 drops with volume, and there’s no significant rebound, then it’s time to go short, with proper risk control. On a finer scale, 83446 is a false breakdown level; if you want to go long, you can add a position here, but if the false breakdown low or 82331 is broken, stop-loss is necessary. In any case, if it cannot recover, don’t hold a dead-long position.
On the hourly level, if Bitcoin stays above 86851, the target range is 87195 to 88018. If it cannot break above 86851, don’t expect a rally. For those looking to short, note that 88018 may see a second fake breakout; you can short here, but if it truly breaks and stabilizes above 89255, take the loss. More conservative traders might wait for a pullback to 82280 before entering long, with a stop-loss at 80602 if broken.
The market review is interesting — Bitcoin repeated the pattern from the night before yesterday. After breaking the flag pattern, two retests of the upper boundary confirmed support, followed by a rally. However, each rally was blocked around 89500, and on the hourly level, a shooting star pattern and bearish engulfing appeared, which is a warning sign. Next, a series of declines followed, breaking the flag and the previous low of 85000, creating a new low — not a good sign.
The key now is whether Bitcoin can regain stability above 86865 (hourly support line). To truly reverse, it must break through 89501; if it can’t, don’t expect a turnaround. Why is 89501 such a strong resistance? Because this decline started after breaking below 89501 — a classic support-resistance switch, making the pressure intense.
If the rebound cannot hold above 86865, prepare to test the previous low; if support fails, look around 80,000. As long as it doesn’t break below 80,000, the situation remains relatively safe.
Resistance levels: 86865-87195-88018 Support levels: 85620-85076-84401 Four-hour: If 85219 breaks, watch 84358-83497
Ethereum broke above 2910 with volume, so you can enter long on the right side, remember to set a stop-loss. If 2877 drops with volume, then short, with strict stop-loss enforcement.
A pullback to 2808 confirms support; you can add a position here, but if it breaks 2774, stop-loss. If it stabilizes above 2925 on the hourly level, target 2966-3032. Watch out for the 2980 level above, which may offer a short opportunity; if shorted, a break above 3032 means taking the loss.
Order traders on the left side can consider long positions at 2756, with a stop-loss at 2718.
Resistance levels: 2925-2966-3022 Support levels: 2862-2810-2774 Four-hour: If 2883 breaks, watch 2807-2774

Once again, it's the same old trick of hyping up US stocks with strong data, but the crypto circle really falls for it.

honestly the 89501 resistance play is classic support-flipped-pressure dynamics, but empirically speaking most retail will still fomo through it anyway and get liquidated lmao

Same old story, if you can't handle 89,500, don't expect to turn things around.

It's the same old trick again. If 86865 doesn't stabilize, we still have to test further. There's not much room for this move.

It's the same old number game again; if 86865 doesn't break, just wait to buy the dip.

If 86865 can't hold, then directly test the previous low. This wave is a bit risky.
