Recently, I’ve been focusing on the 1-hour chart of BTC and found some interesting points. From a technical perspective, the downtrend is very clear, with all moving averages in a bearish alignment—MA7 is stuck below MA30 at 92026.7 versus 92738.8, and the EMA has also crossed bearish. These classic trend reversal signals are right in front of us. Looking at MACD, the DIF at -305.3 has already fallen below DEA at -245.8, and it’s still diverging downward, with the red histogram bars continuously enlarging, indicating that the bearish momentum is rapidly building up. The Bollinger Bands are wide open and pointing downward, with the current price at 91920.8 firmly pressed against the middle and lower bands. The support level below is at 91474.8. If this level breaks, a waterfall decline is likely to follow.
On-chain data also confirms the same story. Over the past 24 hours, exchange inflows of BTC have surged by 15%, especially with large addresses frequently moving assets, and a large number of sell orders are brewing in the dark. The total network holdings are shrinking, and funding rates have turned negative. These signals suggest not just a simple shakeout—they clearly indicate that the main players are offloading.
From a macro perspective, the shadow of an economic recession in early 2026 still looms over the global markets. The Fed’s hawkish rhetoric has resumed, and risk assets are trembling. Rumors of regulatory tightening in the crypto space are also fermenting, and market sentiment indices have fallen into the "fear" zone. These factors combined leave little positive news for the bulls.
Considering these three dimensions of data, the probability of BTC’s short-term decline is very high. The support line at 91475 is the dividing line between bulls and bears. If the hourly candle closes below this level, the next target is directly at the psychological level of 90000, and it might even test the previous low of 89000. Rebound? Don’t count on it in the short term; all technical rebounds could be good opportunities for shorting.
Operational advice: reduce long positions if you have them, and consider shorting around 92500 during a rebound, with a stop loss at 93555 (the upper Bollinger Band). If you are more conservative, it’s better to wait and observe until a clear breakdown signal appears before taking action. Data never lies; the truth is hidden in those numbers.

Once it breaks 91,475, bloodshed is inevitable. The main force's signal to sell off is so obvious, why not run?

It's the same old story... Data is static; only people's hearts can deceive.

Another long bearish article... I just want to ask, can 91475 really hold?
---
Main force distribution? Bro, where did you get this data from? Large inflows on the exchange always mean dumping?
---
Wait, is the fee rate turning negative? Then we need to quickly check if this is a shakeout or a real waterfall decline.
---
Short position at 92500... Easy to say, but what if the rebound directly hits 94000?
---
Full of technical analysis, but no one is thinking about whether this is bottom absorption?
---
Psychological threshold at 90000... Always say this, but it ends up being a face slap.
---
Now just reduce long positions, wait for the rebound to short again? That's basically leaving an escape route for yourself.
---
On-chain data shows a 15% inflow increase, which is quite interesting, but jumping to conclusions based on this alone is too hasty.
---
Macro recession + hawkish rhetoric, it feels like this combo is played every year.
---
I do believe in your technical analysis, but I don't believe the market will cooperate so perfectly.

Damn, another dump, my long positions are about to get wiped out...
---
Breaking below 91475 and then dropping straight down, I choose to lie flat this time
---
I believed the signs of main force distribution back then, now just waiting for the drop
---
Shorts on rebound at 92500? Or wait for confirmation of a breakdown, afraid of false breakouts
---
The shift of funding rates to negative is a bit harsh, indicating that longs are really starting to bear it
---
Rather than guessing a rebound, it's better to wait and see, let the bullets fly for a while
---
The previous low at 89000... to be honest, that number is a bit scary
---
Exchange inflows surged by 15%, sounds like a bad sign
---
Now it's just waiting for a breakdown confirmation; once broken, it's a paradise for shorts
---
This wave of short arrangements looks too comfortable, feels like a big event is coming

92500 rebound and then short? Feels like this wave will break below 89

Another bearish analyst... Is 91475 really that sacred?

With such strong selling pressure, I think breaking 91,475 is no longer a suspense; just wait for 89,000 directly.

Bro, this analysis is really unbearable. 91475 is the life-and-death line. If it breaks, we're heading straight to 90,000.
---
It's the same old story. Why do I feel like every week I'm hearing "the waterfall trend is coming"?
---
On-chain data really hits hard. The surge in exchange inflows is honestly a bit concerning.
---
Still the same point: the most promising technical setups often end up being the most disappointing. Don't trust this too much.
---
Short at 92500? Come on, if this rebound goes above 93, I’ll be the one crying.
---
The overall macro environment is definitely a bear's paradise. The Fed folks haven't said anything good.
---
Waiting and watching. Anyway, I won't move before the breakdown; I can't afford to lose this round.
---
Oh my, DIF has fallen below DEA and is still diverging. The bearish momentum is really strong.
---
They say data doesn't lie, but why does it feel like the market always tries to deceive me?
---
The previous low was 89000. Going there might be a bottom-fishing paradise. Is anyone buying at this level now?

91474破了才算真的啊,现在说瀑布还太早吧。
---
Main force selling? Why not say retail investors are taking the bait, they’re all just the same old tricks to cut the leeks.
---
Fear index, recession... how many times have we heard these words this year, and yet the coin is still here.
---
92500 short position? I bet this is an excellent bottoming point, let’s wait and see.
---
On-chain data surging in, is that just dumping? Why not consider that it might be whales absorbing the supply.
---
Honestly, I only look at breakouts and breakdowns, everything else is just nonsense.
---
The previous low at 89000... 99% chance of being a fakeout, if you don’t believe it, let’s just watch.
---
Every time it’s about a waterfall, then when it really drops, it’s about a rebound soon, I’m tired of this game.
---
Support levels are just paper-thin, break through and find the next one, there’s always support anyway.
---
Macro or not macro, in the end, it’s all about the Fed’s stance, why make it so complicated.
