The overall rhythm of the 2025 market is channel oscillation, without a clear breakout in a major direction. Therefore, the core trading strategy is very simple—only take two directions, and skip all positions in the middle.



Why is the current bias bullish? This judgment is based on the previous summarized viewpoints. Simply put: after the trend line (purple line) is established through two points, the third or even fourth touch often results in a false breakout. Many beginners misunderstand this, thinking that when the price touches the trend line, it will be suppressed and fall. The actual situation is quite the opposite—the trend line often becomes a short-term contrarian rally aid.

Let's look at two core points.

**Logic of oscillation within a simple channel**

From the middle and upper bands of the channel, the middle band is around 10.8k, and the upper band is approximately 13.1k. These are two key points within the range.

**Two paths after breaking through the channel**

Based on the existing highs and lows in 2025, Fibonacci trend extension is used as a reference. No prediction of subsequent rises or falls, but listing two possible scenarios.

If the final trend is downward: a lower high on the daily chart is needed, along with a significant break below 70,000, to confirm the market has truly turned bearish. But this is too textbook-like, and everyone will participate. The problem is—if a higher high appears (at 1.13), people will collectively turn bullish, reducing alertness to a decline. Looking at the back-and-forth within the channel, only two moves have been completed so far. Will the third include a false breakout to trap the shorts above? The two false breakouts at 12k already caused many to enter short positions.

If the trend is upward: the logic is straightforward. Break through the 0.618 level with momentum and without getting stuck for too long, then push toward 1.13, ultimately forming a new oscillation outside the channel.

Multiple touches of a trendline can actually lead to false breakouts; beginners always get this logic backwards... The reasons for being bullish are clear, it's just the fear of getting cut again.

The third touch of the trendline is a false breakout. I've heard this explanation too many times; every time they say it’s to hunt the bears, but what’s the result? It still depends on the capital flow. I agree to skip this in the middle position, but the ones truly making money are never following this textbook route. --- There's nothing wrong with saying the upper band at 13.1w is correct, but the key is whether it can hold steady. We've been talking about channel oscillation for so long; surely 2025 won't just go straight down like this... --- Why do people always love to scare others with trendlines? If you say it’s a support, then support it, but don’t keep bringing up the third or fourth time. Honestly, it’s just a matter of luck in the market. --- Two false breakouts at 12w? Then the bears must have lost a lot this year, haha. At this point, we should see whether it’s a real breakout or just another obstruction. --- Breaking the 0.618 level without getting stuck? Listen to this phrase, so relaxed, huh? Can actual trading be this smooth? I don’t believe it. --- The only useful points are those two key levels, 10.8w and 13.1w; honestly, all other analyses are pretty虚的. --- Here comes another trick to fool beginners. Everyone participates in the textbook route... If you really operate in the opposite way as you say, wouldn’t that mean you can never make money?

It's the same old fake breakout story; 120,000 has already been scammed once. Are they coming back again? Better to be cautious.

Haha, beginners are indeed easily fooled by trend lines. I used to think the same, and only after being beaten down a few times did I realize the truth. You're right, I also saw the two fake breakouts at 120,000, and it felt like fishing. I'm a bit confused—how can we be sure this time won't be another fake breakout? Actually, it's just about waiting for a breakout of 0.618 without getting caught, then it's likely to take off. The channel being squeezed in the middle is really pointless; I still prefer to follow the upward trend. Ah, it's so hard to judge. Maybe wait for more confirmed signals before jumping in. Breaking through 70,000 is the real turning point. Looking at it now, the bulls still seem to have the advantage. Hearing you say that, the upward path seems clearer.

This analysis is quite interesting. The third touch of the trend line actually becomes support? I really want to see how long these two fake breakouts at 120,000 can trap traders.

The trend line touches the third or fourth time and then rises. This logic makes me feel like it's saying "the more you're proven wrong, the more you should buy the dip"... Are you implying that beginners are all doing the opposite?

It's another channel oscillation... Basically, it's sideways trading that tortures people. Stay away from the middle zone, I agree with that. I personally experienced the fake breakout at 120,000, a painful lesson. At that time, a bunch of shorts got crushed. Now they're talking about a third potential trap... Playing this routine too many times is a bit tiring. The bullish logic sounds okay to me. It's common for trendlines to have false breakouts on the third or fourth touch, but the key is who can really predict whether it's the third time or a genuine breakout? Easy to say.

Here we go again with the trendline drama, this time switching to fake breakout hunting? I really can't trust that 131,000 level.
