As shown in the chart, during the early “surge to highs” phase of this current bull run, the market’s operating pattern is very clear: price continues strengthening by leaning on the Bollinger middle band, repeatedly probing upward to test the upper Bollinger band where it faces rejection and pulls back. After pullbacks near the Bollinger middle band/lower band, support is regained and price rebounds. It remains in a standard Bollinger channel range-bound upward structure for a long time, until this surge phase finally touched the high of 66928.

After the price hit the peak around 66928, the bulls’ push momentum completely ran out. The candlestick chart can no longer continuously hold above the upper Bollinger band, and a step-by-step decline begins. The current price is 63193; price has already effectively broken below the Bollinger middle band, and it officially enters a weak trading zone between the Bollinger middle band and the lower band.

Core rule of the Bollinger channel: when price holds above the middle band, it’s a relatively strong bullish environment; once the body drops below the Bollinger middle band, the middle band will change from support into strong resistance. In the short term, the first major resistance zone is locked at 64400—65000 (around the Bollinger middle band).

For the short-term downside, the 62800~63000 area has the first-stage support. If the price falls back into this zone, it will most likely trigger a technical correction-rebound. But from the overall candlestick structure, this decline is a pullback after the stage high tapped the Bollinger upper band. Therefore, the subsequent rebound should be primarily characterized as a rebound/relief move during a decline.

In simple terms: even if support near 63000 holds and price rebounds, when price tests upward the resistance zone of the Bollinger middle band at 64400-65000 again, the probability of being weighed down and moving down is still relatively high. For the outlook, the key is to watch the core support below at the 62000 line:

✅ If the 62000 support holds, the wide-range Bollinger channel oscillation pattern continues, and the market keeps moving back and forth within a range;

❌ Once 62000 is effectively breached by a large bearish candle body, it means the room for this adjustment after the prior upswing is further expanded, the oscillation structure is broken, and deeper downside space will open up.

1. Short-term trade idea for a rebound (short buy)
Wait for price to retest the 62800-63000 support zone. When the candlesticks show a stop-sell signal (long lower wick, stabilizing small bullish candle), you can attempt a short-term long with light position sizing to bet on the rebound.

Short-term targets: 64300~64800 (near the Bollinger middle band resistance zone);
Hard stop-loss: if it effectively breaks below 62000, exit.

Key reminder: this is only a bet on an oversold correction-rebound. When it reaches the Bollinger middle band resistance area, don’t hold long-term—take profit in a timely manner and don’t look for a long-term bull reversal.

2. Follow-the-trend short selling idea (set shorts on rebound pressure)
Wait for the market to repair and rebound upward, and when it touches the 64400-65000 Bollinger middle band resistance area and shows a stalled/hesitation candlestick pattern (long upper wick, turns bearish), set shorts accordingly.

First downside target looks at the 63000 support;
In the medium term, observe whether the key 62000 support is kept or lost.

Hard stop-loss: if the closing price holds above 65500, directly abandon the short thesis.

3. Contingency plan for extreme breakdown
① Breakdown to the downside: if the price keeps weakening, and the candlestick bodies break below the 62800 support with no rebound strength, don’t blindly bottom-pick. Wait for a small rebound up to around 62800 to face resistance, then follow the trend to re-enter shorts. Focus on testing the 62000 support; after 62000 is lost, the short thesis continues.

② Upside reversal: if the market keeps showing bullish candles with strong volume and stands above the 65000 Bollinger middle band, it indicates the short-term weak structure is repaired, so the short thesis pauses. The board returns to an overall oscillation and slightly bullish pattern, and operations switch to buying on dips as the main approach.

BTC formed a “top” structure with the Bollinger upper band under pressure at the 66928 high. After the price broke below the Bollinger middle band, the short-term structure turned into a weak/oscillating bias. At this stage, it is an adjustment cycle after a big drop from the stage high. In trading, try to avoid chasing rallies and killing bids; patiently wait for price to reach key support/resistance levels, enter only after candlestick pattern confirmation to improve the risk-reward ratio and reduce stop-outs caused by oscillation and whipsaws.
