Bitcoin hovers around $90,900, and the market is facing a critical collision point between technical and macro factors.
From a fundamental perspective, the Federal Reserve maintaining its stance of no rate cuts puts substantial pressure on dollar-denominated cryptocurrencies. During a dollar appreciation cycle, the logic of capital fleeing risk assets is hard to break — any macro policy signals will overshadow purely technical rebounds.
Notably, data on short positions from leading exchanges like Bitfinex and Kraken show that institutional investors have already positioned themselves for a decline. These positions have been established long ago and are now waiting for the price to cooperate.
The current trading approach is clear: view rebounds as entry points for short positions, not as signals of a bottom reversal.
**Technical reference points:** - Preferred short entry zone: $91,800–$92,200 - Alternative entry zone: $90,500–$91,000 - Stop-loss setting: above $92,500 - Short target: directly at $88,000, with further downside to $84,000
The key is not to fight the trend by trying to catch the bottom against the market. In a clearly bearish macro environment, every rebound is just an opportunity to add to positions. Success in trading often depends on probability and risk management, not blind expectations of a reversal. Following the trend is the most risk-controlled approach.

Institutions are waiting around 91.8; a rebound is just giving away money.

Institutions are all positioning for short positions, while retail investors are still buying at the bottom. This is the harsh reality of the market.

The institutions have already set up the launch pad, now we just wait to see if the rebound height can reach the gravity resistance level.

Time to short the rebound again, institutions are waiting for us to bottom fish
---
The Fed's move is really clever. During the dollar appreciation cycle, what can we do to resist?
---
Honestly, there's a high probability of entering a short position at 92k. Don't be fooled by the rebound
---
See you at 88k. Go with the trend, and you won't lose money
---
Every rebound is a good time to add to short positions. This logic is solid
---
Institutions have already made their arrangements. Are we still bottom fishing? Wake up, brothers
---
Risk management > blind expectations. This is the right way to make money
---
At this critical point of 90k, it feels like a breakdown is imminent
---
Don't go against the major trend of dollar appreciation. A painful lesson learned
---
Can it really reach 84k? It's a bit uncertain

Institutions have been waiting there for a long time; our rebound is just an opportunity for them to add positions and short.
---
If the Federal Reserve doesn't act, the dollar will stay strong, and risk assets will have to step aside.
---
Enter short positions in the 91800 to 92200 range, and see if it can drop to 88000.
---
Stop messing around; in the face of the trend, there is no bottom, only being trapped.
---
Every day someone wants to catch the bottom, but institutions are waiting above to harvest.
---
This time is different; macro logic is solid, and technical rebounds are just a facade.
---
By looking at the short positions, you can tell that big players have already set up the game; only the price needs to cooperate.
---
Risk management is the most important; don't be blinded by the rebound.
---
Is 84000 the limit, or can it continue to fall? I'm a bit curious.
---
This time, really control your hand when counter-trading; it will lead to bankruptcy.
