What is the outlook for the afternoon market? Let's first look at the technical analysis. On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin shows a clear downward pattern, with short-term momentum significantly weakening. The price has already approached the key support level at 89,588.1. The bearish engulfing signal on the candlestick chart is very clear, and the short-term moving averages are also trending downward, indicating a strong overall bearish signal.



However, it is important to note that the price is still above the long-term moving averages, which suggests that the medium- to long-term trend has not fully reversed. In other words, there is still a technical basis for a rebound.

What is the current strategic approach? Since the short-term bearish signals are so obvious, with moving averages trending down and candlestick patterns showing bearishness, shorting around the resistance zone of 89,630.8-90,364.2 is a high-probability move that follows the trend. The afternoon trading strategy will still focus on entering short positions at higher levels.

Specifically: Bitcoin can consider shorting in the range of 90,800-91,300, with targets at 89,500-89,000; altcoins like Ethereum can short around 3,140-3,160, with targets near 3,080-3,030.

Short-term shorts are quite clear, but I always feel this wave is easily smashed. Let's wait a bit longer. --- The key level at 89588 must hold; only if it breaks do I consider going short. --- Entering short at a high level sounds good, but I'm worried it's just a false breakout. --- The moving averages are trending down, but the long-term cycle hasn't reversed yet, which is awkward. --- I'm more inclined to go short at 3140 for the second coin, it's more reliable than the main coin. --- It's another case of going with the trend. How many times have I been reversed after following the trend... --- The target at 89000 is a bit greedy. I think it's better to take profits at 89500 when it looks good. --- The engulfing pattern is clearly there, but every time I trust it, I get cut.

Short-term bearish signals are indeed strong, but it still depends on whether the long-term moving averages truly break. Whether the position at 89,500 can hold steady is the key. High-level short positions also have opportunities; I'm just worried about false breaks.

Hmm, the 89588 level is indeed quite tight, it looks a bit risky. Short-term signals are definitely strong for a short position, but we still need to watch out for a rebound. Shorting at a high level sounds good, just see if it can break 89000. There’s still a chance for this move to continue, the key is whether 89500 can hold. The moving average trending downward is like that, it can be misleading. Shorting at 3140 on the secondary coin feels like a bigger opportunity than on the main coin? It looks like a story of a latecomer buying at a high level again. Let’s wait and see, no rush to enter the market.

Shorting at high levels again... Every time I say this, I get proven wrong. Feels like the 89588 level isn't that strong. If it's really that clear, why bother analyzing? It would have already skyrocketed. Shorting just because the short-term moving averages are downward? That looks like a trap to me. If there's a basis for the rebound, why keep blindly shorting? The logic is a bit messy. Can this time's target really reach 89000? I bet five bucks it will rebound again.

Is it another high-level short position? I'm a bit scared, brother. --- If 89588 can't hold, just break below. --- The bearish signals are so clear, it's easy to get caught. --- Still above the moving average in the medium to long term, why so eager to short? --- Wow, you're shorting again at a high level and taking the risk? --- Short-term bearish is okay, but don't go all-in, everyone. --- This technical pattern is indeed a bit fierce, but as long as the rebound foundation remains, it's quite uncomfortable. --- Holding 89000 is the key to validity. --- Shorting is fine, just afraid of a counterattack. --- The moving average is really trending down, but at this price level, shorting also carries significant risk. --- Feels like this wave of shorts is likely to become a bagholder.
