Bitcoin's price action at the beginning of the year tests every trader's psychology. On January 9th, the key level for Bitcoin's price was put to the test.
If you're looking for a bottoming rebound opportunity, watch whether the price can break through the 90395 level on the 1-hour chart. This doesn't mean a quick push through is enough; the candle needs to close firmly above this level to confirm support, otherwise it could be pulled back down. Once an effective breakout is confirmed, the first target is 91470 (the previous high resistance). If luck is on your side and the price continues to rise, the extension resistance at 92600 also comes into view. Risk management cannot be relaxed; set the stop-loss below 90300 to clearly define the exit point for false breakouts.
Conversely, there are also short opportunities. If the price breaks below the 89625 support level on the 1-hour chart and fails to recover this level on a rebound, consider chasing the short. The first target is set at 89220 (a recent secondary support). If selling pressure continues, the 4-hour structural support at 87060 becomes the last line of defense. Place the stop-loss for short positions above 89700 or above the highest point of the rebound to effectively control individual trade risk exposure.
For assets like Bitcoin, which are highly volatile, the pace is fast and risks are high. Buckle up and ensure each trade has a clear entry and exit logic—that's the way to survive long-term.

Talking about those levels again, all the fancy talk is just gambling on probabilities.
Whether 90395 breaks or not can't really be determined; the key is to see how it moves afterward.

Oh my god, we're back to psychological warfare again, always bouncing back and forth like this.
---
If 90395 can't break me, I give up. Can't afford to play fake breakouts.
---
Basically, it's about standing firm, otherwise everything is just empty talk.
---
Can that defensive line at 87060 hold? Feels like it might not.
---
Setting stop-losses so tightly, I'm worried about being cut again if I'm too quick.
---
There's hope for a rebound, but I prefer to wait for a breakdown before entering. Better to sleep peacefully.
---
In this kind of market, everyone's mentality is collapsing. Those who can stick to the end will win.
---
That's just how Bitcoin is—quick in and out, one mistake and it's gone.
---
The pressure at 91470 is a bit far, will it get smashed down again in the middle?
---
Be careful when chasing shorts; there are many traps ahead.

If I can't break through 90395, I'll accept the loss. Anyway, I've already been trapped once.

Damn, it's another one of these market conditions. Breaking 90395 is really quite torturous.
Honestly, I'll wait until the close to decide; fake breakouts are too risky.
If the 87060 support level is broken, I might consider reducing my position first.

It's the same old story again. What to do if 90395 can't break through? Feels like it's been smashed back countless times.

90395 or 89625, I'm already tired of this. Is this tiny fluctuation really making you nervous?
