Currently, Bitcoin's trend exhibits obvious multi-level characteristics, with significant differences in performance across different cycles, requiring separate treatment.
From an intraday perspective, the price mainly fluctuates sideways between $89,000 and $93,000. This range is the core trading zone recently. A breakout above $93,500 targets $94,500; conversely, if it falls below $89,000, further decline to $88,000 is needed to find support.
For the short-term 1 to 3 days, the key variable is non-farm payroll data. If non-farm payrolls underperform expectations, bulls may launch an attack, aiming directly at $95,000; on the other hand, if the data exceeds expectations or market sentiment weakens, a pullback to around $88,000 may occur for re-accumulation.
Looking at the medium-term horizon of 1 to 4 weeks, the expectation is initially a period of consolidation. Once a clear stabilization signal appears, the price is expected to surge toward the $98,000 to $100,000 range. The $100,000 mark is quite special; it actually serves as the bull-bear dividing line in the current cycle. Whether it can hold this level will determine the subsequent trend direction.
For the entire Q1 quarter, the trend is to bottom out first, then gradually push toward $100,000. Once successfully broken through and stabilized, the possibility of reaching new highs for the year increases significantly.
From the perspective of support and resistance, key levels are as follows: downside supports are $88,000 (which is the lower edge of the CME gap and has special significance), $89,000, and $90,000; resistance levels are at $93,000, $94,500, $98,000, and $100,000.
In trading operations, practical considerations can be as follows: for intraday long positions, it is appropriate to enter when the price stabilizes in the $90,000 to $90,500 range, with a stop loss set at $88,700, and take profits gradually at $93,000, $94,500, and $98,000 to reduce positions step by step.
In case of a breakout, treat it differently: if the price breaks above $93,500, consider a small position to try going long, but set the stop loss at $92,000 for quick exit; if it breaks below $89,000, switch to a wait-and-see mode, and re-evaluate after falling to $88,000.
Risk management is the lifeline of trading. It is recommended to operate with a light position, controlling each trade to 10% to 15% of total funds, and no single loss should exceed 2% of total funds. Most importantly, avoid chasing highs and holding large positions—these bad habits are the easiest to amplify losses.
Monitoring key trading signals includes watching the CME gap fill, RSI indicator overbought conditions, and ETF capital flow changes, all of which are important reference indicators affecting short-term direction.

100k is really the devil's threshold; only standing firm counts
---
Another bunch of support and resistance levels, still depends on non-farm payrolls to speak
---
I just want to know if we can really break through 100k this time, don't let it pull back again at 98k
---
It's true that light positions are safer; last time I almost went bankrupt because of heavy holdings
---
The CME gap theory, is it reliable? Seems like someone always brings it up
---
If it drops below 88k, I have to run; is this a real support or a false breakout, who can tell?
---
The bulls are now also betting on non-farm payrolls; this expectation is a bit risky
---
A position of 10 to 15 is indeed safe, but the returns are just so-so
---
Tight stop-loss at 88.7, is it to cut quickly or what? Too easy to get stopped out
---
Chasing highs and holding through dips are indeed deadly; many people around me have blown up doing that

100k is the real man, once you break through, you can take off

It's the same theory again. The 100,000 mark has long been tired of hearing about. Let's see if it can actually reach that point.

Damn, it's again in the 90,000 to 93,000 range. The daily fluctuations here are really annoying.
Wait for the non-farm payroll data; this wave depends on how the Americans behave.
If we can't hold the 100,000 level, the whole year is in jeopardy, really.
CME gap at 8.8, I bet it will rebound, history repeats itself.
% stop-loss, it seems simple but most people can't do it, including me.
Still want to go long after breaking 9.3? Might as well go play mahjong and earn faster.

100k is really the life and death line; if you can't break through it, don't expect a new high for the year.

The consolidation range between 90,000 and 93,000 is a bit annoying. We'll have to wait for the non-farm payroll data to see which way it will go.

Another long article explaining the fluctuation from 90,000 to 100,000. Should I go all-in directly or what should I do?
