Cryptocurrency Asset Overview BTC (+0.85% | Current Price 89,342 USDT) BTC has shown a volatile correction trend over the past day, with prices repeatedly oscillating within the 88,800–89,800 USD range.

Cryptocurrency Asset Overview BTC (-7.02% | Current Price 89,004 USDT) BTC has continued its weak oscillation trend over the past day, with the price retreating from highs and steadily declining along the short-term moving averages. Currently trading near $89,000, it remains under short-term pressure. The moving average structure shows a clear bearish alignment, with MA5 and MA10 crossing below MA30 and the three lines diverging downward, indicating that the short-term trend has not yet stabilized. The MACD is below the zero line, with the fast and slow lines maintaining a death cross structure. Although the momentum histogram shows signs of convergence, no clear reversal signal has appeared. Overall, BTC remains in a weak consolidation phase within a downward channel. If it cannot quickly recover the $90,500–$91,000 range, attention should be paid to the support level around $88,000; conversely, if trading volume increases and it recovers near MA10 and MA30, the downward pressure may be alleviated.
