January 9 Trading Observation



Bitcoin's recent move from over 89,000 was executed very steadily, with a rebound after stabilizing around 89,250, then quickly rising over 2,000 points.

On the daily chart, the previous candlestick was firmly supported by the middle band, closing as a long lower shadow bearish candle; after opening, it fluctuated below the 7-day moving average, with Bollinger Bands flattening out, and short-term moving averages beginning to show signs of turning upward. Technically, the MACD fast and slow lines are leveling off, volume bars are noticeably shrinking, KDJ is crossing downward, and the VR indicator is oscillating around 80.

Switching to the 4-hour chart, after the price temporarily broke below the 60-day moving average and EMA200, it found support at the lower band and quickly rebounded upward. Bollinger Bands are moving downward but showing signs of narrowing at the top and bottom, with short-term moving averages still trending downward. MACD is turning upward from below zero, volume bars are shrinking simultaneously, KDJ is moving upward, and caution is advised regarding resistance near 100. The VR indicator is also consolidating around 80.

Overall, the rhythm aligns well with previous expectations—initially breaking below 90,000 then bouncing back, though the current upward momentum is somewhat lacking. Tonight’s non-farm payroll data will likely cause some volatility, with a probable shakeout before the next move. Key support below is at 88,800, and resistance above is around 93,000.

Ethereum’s long strategy is basically unchanged, but the volatility is much smaller than Bitcoin’s, only moving by a few dozen points. The daily and 4-hour technical trends are largely synchronized with Bitcoin and can be referenced directly. Focus on the 3,050 support level below, and maintain the previous approach on resistance levels. Be especially cautious of news impacts tonight and prioritize risk management.

Operation Range Suggestions:
$BTC: 88,600-89,600 long, target 91,200-92,200
$ETH: 3,010-3,050 long, target 3,030-3,070
BTC-0,37%
ETH-0,24%

Bitcoin's recent move is indeed steady, rebounding from 89250 and immediately climbing over 2000, which is quite in line with expectations. However, the current upward momentum is a bit weak, and once the non-farm payrolls data is released tonight, there will likely be another shakeout. Risk management is still essential.

tbh the whole "governance attack vectors" angle here is what actually matters... this MSCI news is just noise masking deeper protocol vulnerabilities. everyone's obsessing over chart patterns when they should be watching how these treasury moves expose systemic weaknesses in the coordination layer. brutal.

88800 this support level needs to hold, otherwise tonight's non-farm payrolls will cause another shakeout.

Oh no, it's the usual shakeout tactic. Be careful when the non-farm payrolls come out.

The stabilization and rebound around 89250 indeed did not disappoint, but the strength of this upward push is a bit weak. Breaking below 88800 and losing this support level would be the real concern. Non-farm payrolls coming out means another shakeout, same old routine. Forget about ETH; it’s not moving at all compared to Bitcoin. It’s better to just keep an eye on Bitcoin.

It's another pre-NFP shakeout, and this time the力度 (strength) is indeed a bit weak.

Bitcoin's recent move is indeed steady. The rebound from 89250 was quite smooth, but it's a bit lackluster now.
