The two key support levels at 90,000 for Bitcoin and 3,100 for Ethereum have been effectively broken. This is not just a price decline, but a fundamental shift in the entire market structure. Those support levels once considered "safe havens" have now been brilliantly transformed into resistance levels, becoming obstacles on the way up.

The bulls' defense line has collapsed, and the bears have taken over market dominance. The current market sentiment is clearly bearish, but there is an interesting phenomenon—after a breakdown, technical rebounds are inevitable. This is not a sign of a trend reversal, but rather the best opportunity for bears to shake out weak hands and accumulate short positions.

From an operational perspective, the core idea is to follow the trend. Bitcoin can consider short positions in the 90500-91000 range, targeting 89300-88700; Ethereum can set up shorts in the 3137-3150 range, aiming for 3076-3038. Simply put, every rebound is an opportunity to re-enter short positions. Don't be fooled by short-term price recoveries.

Here comes the same old story of shaking out the market: buy the dip, short if it breaks support. This logic has been played for years—does anyone still believe it?

It's that season again to get cut, if 90K breaks, I'll just kneel. This time really feels different. The bears are indeed fierce this round; they smash on rebounds. It's exhausting to watch. Shorting sounds easy, but don't be fooled by the rebound, brother. Those who have lost money know better. Support turning into resistance—this old trick. Someone always takes the bait, it's hilarious. Let's see if we can scoop a bottom around 91K. Anyway, I don't dare to go all-in short anymore.

Here comes the "inevitability argument" for cutting leeks again. Every time there's a breakout, you say it's a chance for a shakeout. So why don't we see your live account balance?

They're starting to shake out the market again; every rebound requires a round of selling.

Once again, it has broken through the support level. Is this really a shakeout or is it truly going to sink? We've seen the tricks of bear trap many times—rebound then crash, crash then rebound again. The logic of shorting makes sense; it all depends on whether you can withstand the violent counterattack. Every time we think we've found the bottom, we realize there's an even lower point—it's exhausting.
