4. Short-term Market Outlook for Today
1. Likely weak sideways movement intraday, first testing support at $73,000
2. If support at $72,000 holds, a weak rebound may occur, but it will struggle to break through resistance at $76,000
3. If geopolitical negative news continues to intensify and support levels break, further testing of the $70,000 level is possible
4. Rebounds are only corrections within the downtrend, no clear reversal signals yet
5. Risk Management and Strategic Considerations (Analysis only, not advice)
• Short-term: Currently in a downtrend, avoid blindly bottom-fishing or over-leveraging for rebounds; rebounds are likely to trap positions, chasing highs is very risky
• Positions: Strict risk control on short-term longs, focus on defending the $72,000 and $70,000 levels; be cautious of sudden news-driven rebounds that could trigger stop-outs
• Leverage Risks: Current liquidation levels are dense, price fluctuations may cause sudden spikes or drops, with very high liquidation risk
