Yesterday's BTC market was quite interesting—first rebounding from around $89,800 to $92,000, then being knocked back by profit-taking, now oscillating around $90,500. The long upper shadow on the daily chart clearly indicates one thing: the bulls and bears are currently in a fierce tug-of-war.



The current market logic is still revolving within a range, moving sideways while waiting for data. Where are the most direct support and resistance levels?

Looking downward, $90,000 is a psychological barrier, with the platform below at $89,000–$89,500, which has been tested repeatedly; this is the last line of defense for the bulls. If it truly breaks, then we look at $88,000 (the lower boundary of the Bollinger Bands). Looking upward, the $91,500–$92,000 zone is the strongest resistance, with yesterday’s high right there, also a repeatedly tested pressure zone. If broken through, the next target could be $93,600 (the upper boundary of the daily Bollinger Bands).

Today’s market key points: first is macro sentiment. This Wednesday (January 13), the US December CPI data will be released, followed by PPI on Thursday (January 14). These two data releases are currently attracting a lot of attention. The market’s rate cut expectations have been pushed to June. If the data shows inflation cooling down, BTC might have a chance to surge to $95,000; conversely, if inflation remains stubborn, it might drop to fill the $88,000 gap.

The capital situation is quite complex. The US spot BTC ETF has experienced net outflows of $1.128 billion for three consecutive days, indicating that institutions are taking profits in batches—a very clear signal. But at the same time, large holders are accumulating on dips, so there’s still some disagreement among investors.

Regarding technical indicators, the daily RSI is at 52.1, slightly bullish, and the MACD also signals a bullish trend. However, the 4-hour RSI is bearish, and the MACD shows strong bearish signals. This divergence across multiple timeframes actually confirms the current state: attempts to push higher lack strength, and during pullbacks, support levels are holding. This is the current characteristic of the market game.

Institutions are running, big players are bottom-fishing, this is called market divergence. Once the CPI data is out, it might determine life or death. --- That barrier at 91,500-92,000 seems unbreakable, the bulls really have no strength left. --- Still waiting for data? I think this game is just rolling dice between 89,000 and 92,000; whoever wins the roll is the boss. --- Continuous net outflows from ETFs, isn't that just smart money fleeing? The more I watch, the less confident I am in chasing highs. --- This wave of market movement is really interesting, wanting to rise but unable to push up, even technical indicators are starting to clash.

Institutions are running, big players are buying, this show is quite tangled to watch --- It's that data dependency again, as soon as CPI is released, everything gets chaotic --- If you can't break 91500, don't bother. First, hold the 89 support line --- ETF net outflow of 1.1 billion yet still daring to push higher, quite brave --- Multi-cycle divergence is just betting on who chickens out first, interesting --- It sounds like both bulls and bears lack confidence, that's the most concerning --- Are you buying CPI expectations or buying coins? You need to think it through --- When funds start to protest, it's often an opportunity. The question is, do you dare to get in?

Institutions are cashing out, retail investors are buying the dip—that's the current situation. Let's see if 91,500 can hold.

Once again, the market is moving in a pattern where both sides are being supported, so annoying. Just waiting for the data to crash the market. --- When the CPI and PPI data are released, they have to be decisive. Right now, both sides are holding on tightly. --- $1.1 billion net outflow? Why are institutions so eager to run? --- Indicators for both bullish and bearish signals are active. This is a typical sign that no one dares to push strongly upward. --- If the $88,000 support level really breaks, it might get even more chaotic afterward. --- This week, just watch those two US data points. It feels like all the markets are being held hostage by them. --- When funds start to show disagreement, I know there will definitely be high volatility ahead.

Still repeatedly dumping here, institutions are really outrageous. Net outflows are still increasing their holdings? This signal is just too confusing.

Institutions are distributing, big players are bottom-fishing, this is the true state of the market... --- If 91500 can't be broken, forget about it; we have to endure this repeated beating here. --- CPI data is the death sentence in these two days; previous fluctuations were all fake. --- What does RSI divergence indicate? It just means lack of upward momentum, nothing interesting. --- Now, anyone talking about hitting 95000 is dreaming; first, let's see if we can hold 90000. --- The net outflow of ETFs is a very obvious signal; institutions are gradually clearing their positions. --- How many times have we heard that the last line of defense for the bulls? It always catches us off guard when it breaks.
