The divergence between price and volume is happening again. Every time, they say the bulls are recovering, but what's the result? It still depends on whether it can break 97267.

I'm tired of the divergence between price and volume; the key is whether we can hold the 94396 line. --- MACD is shortening and showing a death cross again... Honestly, I haven't decided on the direction yet. I'll wait and see. --- Is the 92 to 94 range really worth buying the dip? It feels like it needs to drop further before I can confidently jump in. --- Selling pressure is increasing, but the rebound is limited. Isn't this just testing the upper levels? --- Is the bullish force recovering? It still looks a bit weak to me... --- Can we really break through the 97k level? It seems like the previous attempts have failed. --- KDJ76, what does that count for? I can't trust this indicator anymore.

The classic story of price-volume divergence... Every time, they say the bulls will rebound, but what happens? Wait, the KDJ death cross is still neutral to weak? This logic is a bit confusing. Can 94396 really hold up? It feels like it's about to break again.

The old trick of divergence between price and volume again; it still depends on whether it can break 97,267, otherwise it's just a false alarm.
