The friends who took the bottom during this afternoon's rebound should have all gained some profit. In short-term trading, it's all about rhythm and speed—buying and selling quickly to catch a thousand-point move. Those who follow the trend are generally quite comfortable holding.
Looking at the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin has been continuously testing lower, with Bollinger Bands opening wider and the upper and lower bands diverging at an accelerating rate. Although the price briefly dipped below the lower band and then rebounded for correction, it clearly lacks upward momentum, and the bears still dominate the overall situation. The hourly chart confirms this more clearly—this afternoon, it once dropped to a low of 89,588, with Bollinger Bands continuing to open downward, indicating that the bearish force is definitely stronger.
From a technical indicator perspective, everything points to the same trend. The KDJ lines are stuck at low levels with no movement, and the golden cross signal has not appeared yet; short-term rebound energy is severely lacking. The RSI lines are below 40 and haven't touched the oversold area, indicating there is still plenty of room to go down. MACD is even more straightforward—its two lines are diverging below the zero line, with negative values expanding continuously, showing no sign of weakening the bearish trend.
The key now is whether the rebound can break through the middle band resistance. If it remains stuck at the middle band, the most probable outcome is continued decline, testing support levels around 89,000-88,500. Only a surprise breakout and a firm hold above the middle band could signal a shift to a consolidation or correction phase.
Tonight, the strategy remains to short on rebounds near resistance, carefully observe the performance at key levels, and operate accordingly. Specifically, consider shorting Bitcoin around 90,500-91,000 with a target of 89,000; and Ethereum around 3,130-3,150 with a target of 3,030.

Once again, the classic Bollinger Bands and MACD setup. With such a strong bearish trend, can there really be a rebound? It seems like we should wait until breaking the middle band before taking action.

actually... hold on, these bollinger band readings are just masking the real issue nobody's talking about—we have zero visibility into what's actually driving these moves. KDJ crossovers, RSI thresholds, all of it's just pattern matching in the dark, tbh. where's the cryptographic certainty in any of this? smh

It's the same old trick. Those who didn't buy the dip this morning are now watching others make thousands of points, feeling uncomfortable. However, if the middle band can't be broken, it indeed has to go down further. This wave of bears is really fierce.

It's the same old story again, quick in and out to eat thousands of points... Easy to say, but when it comes to critical moments, a slight tremor and it's over. The Bollinger Bands keep expanding outward, and this bearish momentum might not even break the midline. I think it still depends on whether 89000 can hold.

Another day of bearish pressure. If the midline can't hold, it has to keep being hammered down.

The rebound is weak, the bears are still in control. If the midline can't be broken, it will keep dropping. Missing out this time is really unfortunate.

Another day of being trapped, I wanted to run early during the rebound, but ended up getting headshot by the bears again.

It's the same story again, the bearish trend isn't over yet, the mid-line resistance is tightly holding, if it can't break through, it will keep crashing.
