Yesterday, the entire crypto market was oscillating within a frustrating narrow range, causing holders to suffer through small fluctuations. It wasn't until the end of the session that a sudden sharp decline occurred, breaking through the previous day's lows and ending the stalemate for the day.
The key now is whether the 87400 level can hold. If the price fails to form a strong rebound here, it is likely to continue downward to find a bottom. In this kind of market, rather than rushing to trade, it’s better to prioritize shorting the rebound, which is more convenient than desperately trying to catch the bottom.
It is recommended to start with a small position to test the waters, and then gradually add as the trend confirms. This approach helps control risk and prevents being passively hit during repeated oscillations.
Technical levels to watch: Bitcoin is consolidating around 87450, with a breakdown targeting 8600-85500; Ethereum is trading in the 2940-2970 range, and if support fails, it could drop to 2870-2840.
---
Another small position to test the waters... Always say that, but still get trapped
---
Selling short on the rebound sounds good, just worried the rebound won't come
---
If ETH really drops to 2840, I'll buy in
---
Narrow range is frustrating, yesterday's drop was really intense
---
Rather than waiting for a rebound, it's better to just stay short
---
If we can't hold 87450, then let's look at 8600
---
Heard too many times about entering with a small position
---
Feels like we're going to continue testing the bottom, this rebound is unreliable
---
Wait for confirmation before adding more? The market is already flying, why add more
Wait, you said to try with a small position? I think if 87400 breaks this time, I should just run.
Selling on the rebound sounds good, but I'm worried about slipping up.
BTC really needs to be watched carefully; once it falls below, it's game over.
In this kind of market, you should hold onto cash and wait for opportunities. Why rush?
Damn, holding positions for these two hours is more thrilling than a roller coaster.
Small positions for testing are more reliable. Rebound selling and shorting feel much better than bottom fishing. Don't let this kind of market drive you crazy.
If @87400@ doesn't hold, I'll keep exploring downward. I'll just stay on the sidelines for now. Anyway, those who are losing money are the ones getting anxious.
Wait for confirmation before adding positions. This way, the mindset can stay better. Don't get caught in the volatility.
If it breaks, go short directly. Keep an eye on the @2870@ line too. The market's way of playing is really intense.
Just watch for now, enter with small positions to test the waters. No rush anyway.
If the 88K level can't hold, it will continue to fall. Instead of trying to bottom fish, better wait for a rebound to short, easier on the mind.
Trying this with a light position is still safe; don't try to eat everything in one bite.
The 87450 level is very critical; today’s movement depends entirely on this.
When the market is uncertain, just lie flat; don't let the volatility break your mindset.
If 87400 can't be broken, I'll hold steady; if it rebounds, I'll buy in more—more secure than trying to catch the bottom.
I agree with testing the waters with a small position this time; what happened to those who rushed to buy the dip earlier?
Still, wait for confirmation before taking action; don't get washed out.
If it breaks 8600, I really will run away; I'm mentally exhausted.
Ironically, people are still debating whether 87,400 can hold, ignoring the lessons of history. The same analysis was made during that wave in 2015.
The real issue is that no one knows which way the market will go next, yet everyone pretends to know. I bet that in half a year, these numbers will seem very funny.
Taking a small position is good, but don’t be fooled by false signals of a rebound. The market is irrational to an extent you can't imagine.
If you ask me, instead of studying technical levels, it’s better to reflect on whether your judgment from this time last year was correct. Most likely, it wasn’t.
Wait, you said to try with a small position? Why do I feel like entering now is just asking to get cut?
Can 87400 really hold? Feels like it's hanging in the balance.
