Looking back at the end of the year, the biggest lesson from the market is to avoid fighting against the trend. Currently, the market atmosphere is very controlled, and price movements frequently deviate from normal logic, making a reverse correction quite likely. All our current judgments are still in the prediction stage.

With the Federal Reserve's rate cut window approaching, based on past experience, rate cuts often boost prices initially, but are prone to a pullback later. Following this pattern, Bitcoin is very likely to test the key level of 80,000 again.

Regarding specific trading strategies, in the near term, consider short positions in the 96,000 to 96,800 range. If you want to build a position gradually, you can add at 97,800, but setting a stop loss at 98,300 is more prudent.

The main target for a downward move is around 92,000. If this support is broken, then look further down to 89,000. Overall, mainstream coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and SOL are worth paying attention to for recent market rhythm changes.

BTC-0,5%

ETH0,34%

SOL-1,34%

Still talking about resisting, feels like this wave is really going to pull back --- Short at 96000? Bro, I'm just afraid of getting caught at the top again --- The positive effect of interest rate cuts has faded, why is this logic still using last year's experience? --- Whether 92000 can be seen or not is another story, I’ll first see if 96800 can hold --- ETH, SOL falling along with BTC, none of them can hold up --- Don't be too confident during the prediction phase, no one knows what the next second will look like --- Why is the stop-loss at 98300 so casual, does the market listen so obediently?

Harden this set really needs to be changed, everyone who stepped on the坑last year understands. But at 96-96.8... let's wait until it really hits that level before talking. --- I've heard the rate cut logic too many times, every time they say it will fall, and what’s the result? Anyway, I’ll wait and see if 89000 can hold before making a move. --- Another short position setup? Bro, have you made any money with this strategy in the past year? Haha. --- That 80,000 level has been tested several times already, and it feels like the chance of breaking it next time is actually smaller. --- Mainstream coins definitely need to be watched, but don’t be scared by these numbers and keep chasing shorts; market sentiment can change really fast. --- Stop loss at 98,300... sounds safe, but when it actually hits that level, it feels like it’s going to reverse again. --- Honestly, predictions now have to be taken with a grain of salt; no one can be certain. --- If the key level at 92,000 is broken, then I’ll believe your logic. But it’s still early.

Standing firm against these two words is truly admirable. Haven't the painful lessons from last year been enough... I actually want to try crossing the 96,800 hurdle.
