Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to show weak oscillation under the dual influence of recent US macroeconomic data and liquidity tightness during the Christmas holiday. From the daily chart, the price remains trapped within the lower and middle bands of the Bollinger Bands, with candlesticks alternating between bullish and bearish signals in repeated tests.

The daily trend direction is unclear, but the 4-hour chart provides a clearer signal. Although there are signs of easing selling pressure, it has not completely dissipated. The price tested the middle Bollinger Band and then encountered resistance and pulled back, indicating that sellers are still defending key levels. The MACD bullish momentum histogram on the hourly chart has significantly decreased, suggesting a short-term pullback is likely.

In terms of key levels, the upper resistance is divided into two zones: the 4-hour and daily middle Bollinger Band at the 89,500-90,000 level forming the first resistance, while the 3,000-3,030 range is a more recent short-term critical resistance. Support levels are also clear: the 86,000-86,500 and 2,880-2,900 levels provide the first support. If broken, attention should turn to the daily Bollinger Band lower band at around 85,000 and the 2,850 area.

Trading strategy-wise, Bitcoin can consider entering long positions around 86,600-87,200, with an initial target of 89,000. Ethereum is accumulating around 2,900-2,920, with a target of 2,980-3,030. Of course, markets are highly volatile, and specific operations should be based on real-time trends, with risks assumed by the trader.

honestly the macro backdrop is just noise covering up what's really happening here—classic market maker orchestration at these key levels. they're painting the tape with that MACD setup, watch the order flow instead of the indicators fr

It's the same Bollinger Band middle line trick again. Last time I trusted this, I almost lost everything. Buy the dip at 86,600? I bet five cents this is another trap. When MACD shrinks, it means a pullback. Easy to say, but who the hell can hold on until the end? Wait, is the big player stacking chips again at the 2900 integer level? Late-night monitoring makes me feel more professional than analysts, but as soon as I start actual trading, I keep doing the opposite. This time is different. I really feel it's about to rise. Something's off.

It's the middle band of the Bollinger Bands again, and the bearish selling pressure—I'm tired of hearing these clichés. --- 86600 to buy the dip? I think it's just talk; let's wait until it drops to 85000 before commenting. --- The liquidity crunch during the Christmas holiday is just an excuse; honestly, there's no clear direction. --- Ethereum accumulating between 2900-2920 sounds good, but who knows? --- A short-term pullback is coming, and this is just another reason for me to get liquidated, right? --- Feels like the 4-hour chart is clearer than the daily? No matter how I look at it, it's a mess. --- Resistance at 89500-90000, that's what they say, but when it breaks through, some will say it's a false breakout. --- Always saying risk is on your own; what can you do if you don't take responsibility for the risk? --- The market manipulation this time is too obvious; I don't think the bottom is at 85000. --- Both bulls and bears have support? That's just a way of saying everyone can make money—what a joke.

It's the same old argument about the middle and lower bands of the Bollinger Bands. I just want to know when it will truly break out. Wait, entering long at 86600? Bro, this move is a bit scary. What if it breaks below 86000? The low liquidity during the Christmas holiday is real, but have the bears eased up? It still looks like they’re pushing down. Accumulating at 2900-2920 sounds good, but I always feel it might break below 2880. Is 89000 too low a target? Haha. Honestly, I've seen the indicator shrinking signals a thousand times. Next, it probably won't be another false breakout, right?

86600 to go long? I think it's mostly the story of latecomers catching the falling knife again. Talking about Bollinger Bands as if you can precisely catch the bottom. Liquidity is tight during the Christmas holiday, so just wait to be cut. When the hourly MACD shrinks, a pullback is imminent. I've heard this kind of analysis too many times. Actually, no one knows what will happen next; we're all just gambling. Accumulating between 2900-2920? I'll just see how many people are really willing to buy the dip here.

ngl the MACD compression tells me someone's orchestrating a narrative shift here... watch the social sentiment when we touch 86.6k, that's where the real psyops begins fr

It's the same old story, Bollinger Bands middle and lower bands, MACD shrinking... The poor liquidity during the Christmas holiday is a pretty good excuse. --- Is 86600-87200 really the bottom, or is it a sign of another plunge? --- Selling pressure is so rigid; if it can't break 89500, I don't believe this wave of the market. --- Is ETH accumulating at 2900 in this wave? Early accumulation got caught, and now you're just entering? --- The market changes instantly, haha. Saying something or not makes no difference. --- Poor macro data, tight liquidity—sounds like bad signals. --- Is the initial target of 89000 just a joke? --- If the daily chart isn't clear, don't place an order. Let's wait and see. --- Breaking 85000 is the key; everything else is just empty talk.
