The weekend market overall was relatively calm, with Bitcoin basically maintaining a sideways oscillation yesterday. However, during the early morning surge, it successfully broke through the 81,000 level, breaking the original short-term oscillation range.
What does this mean? It indicates that the bulls are not completely finished, and there is even a possibility of re-entering a "slow rise pushing higher" rhythm, so now is not the time to blindly and easily be bearish.
Currently, the retracement strength is clearly weakening, and the focus should be on the key resistance zone between 81,000 and 81,500.
Next, it depends on how the market chooses its direction:
If the rebound to 81,000–81,500 still cannot hold or break above, then go short with the trend, with the first target around 79,500.
But if it breaks through strongly and stabilizes, it means the bulls still want to push higher, so don’t go against the trend with hard shorts; follow the trend and go long. Real trading isn’t about blindly betting on longs or shorts, but about following whoever is stronger. If the resistance isn’t broken, go short; if there’s a strong breakout, follow with longs. After the rally loses momentum, then consider reversing and laying out short positions.
