Yesterday's bullish outlook still holds, and the buy-the-dip signal around 86,000 was not in vain. If the rebound surpasses 87,200, it's time to exit. Those in a tricky position can cut their positions in half first and look for opportunities again in the evening.
On the Bitcoin side, the daily chart still shows a consolidation pattern, and the market appears to be relatively resilient compared to the broader market. The MACD fast and slow lines have already converged, which looks somewhat like a trap to induce a false breakout, especially since the 85,000 level couldn't be decisively broken. This indicates that the bulls are still defending their position. If a pullback occurs in the evening, continue to go long, focusing on whether 88,000 can be broken. If a smooth breakthrough happens, the 89,500-90,000 range will come into view.
The Ethereum strategy isn't complicated either. Consider opening a long position if it retraces to the 2780-2820 zone. The target is set at 2900-2950. Keep the direction and rhythm in mind, and don't be greedy when it's time to exit.

Good morning, the market at two in the morning is a Bots' paradise. I've seen this bear trap routine too many times; not breaking 85000 just implies that long positions still have ammunition.

That wave at 86,000 was indeed the right move, but I hesitated and didn't exit cleanly. Now, whether 88,000 can be broken or not has become a mental hurdle.

That wave at 86,000 really wasn't in vain; I'm just worried they'll pull the trick of trapping traders again tonight.

That wave at 86,000 definitely wasn't a waste of waiting, just worried that there might be another false alarm tonight.

The 86,000 re-entry wave really wasn't in vain. Now it's just a matter of whether we can hold above 87,200.
If we can't break through this critical level at 88,000, it seems we'll need to continue oscillating for a while.
With this pace of Ethereum, entering a long position at 2,780 is very safe, just worried about being greedy.

The 86,000 warning was really worth it. Now let's see if we can get another wave tonight.

The 86,000 wave indeed wasn't wasted, but I still feel a bit uncertain about the 87,200 level...
If we can't break through 88,000, does that mean we have to cut losses again?
Is it really feasible to bottom out at 2780-2820? Feels like this time is a bit different.
It's easy to say "don't be greedy," but last time, greed cost us dearly.
Will there be a pullback tonight, or will it continue to fluctuate?

The wave at 86,000 was indeed a bottoming. Now it's just a matter of whether 88,000 can break through. I feel the bulls still have strength.

The wave at 86,000 was indeed a bottoming. Now it's just a matter of whether we can smoothly break through 88,000. I still think there's a chance.
