Around 10 a.m. Beijing time, U.S. President Trump signaled new policies for 2026. From a market perspective, such policy expectations often provide short-term stimulation to risk assets. If the market makers choose to cooperate, we might see a rally in the early Thursday trading session, but the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision on Friday could become a pressure point, potentially leading to a pullback.
Looking at BTC's trend, the most direct driving force still comes from the performance of the Nasdaq. Last night, after a low open, the Nasdaq showed a strong upward trend, providing some support for Bitcoin. From a technical standpoint, the weekly long liquidation level is at 85,200, the monthly long liquidation level is at 83,600, and the pain point for shorts has been pushed up to 91,000. To trigger a large-scale short squeeze, there needs to be sufficiently impactful news support.
It is worth noting that during the rebound after BTC dropped to 80,000 last time, trading volume showed a clear shrinking trend. This indicates that the participation in chasing highs is not high, and market sentiment remains cautious. In such an environment, genuine trading opportunities require patience. Looking ahead, 2026 could become a good opportunity for buying on dips.

The shrinking trading volume indicates that everyone has doubts; no one dares to chase the highs.
Breaking 91,000 is difficult, and the bears are also feeling uncomfortable. It all depends on whether there will be any major news later.
On Friday, the Bank of Japan took action again, and it seems like another shakeout is coming. Be patient and wait for the opportunity.
With Trump's moves, if the big players really cooperate, there could be a show; otherwise, a correction is still likely.
Let's wait and see. It feels like 2026 will be the real good time. It might still be too early now.

The volume has shrunk but still dare to chase high, this wave is to cut leeks
91000 is the real battlefield, no news, don't think about it
Trump signaling just brings climax, wait for the Bank of Japan to slap on Friday
If the big players don't cooperate, it's just paper, and the NASDAQ can't support for long
Dipping to position for 2026? I just want to know where the recent bottom is
The shrinking trading volume indicates that big players are waiting, retail investors better not move recklessly
Already smashed through 80000, what are you afraid of? The question is who dares to buy the dip
If it surges this Thursday, just wait to be smashed on Friday, old routine

With such shrinking trading volume, only fools chase the high, let's wait and see
Wait until the Bank of Japan finishes its actions on Friday before making a move, it's too early to buy in now
Can 91,000 really break? Feels uncertain, without any major news to support it
Dipping to position for 2026? Let's survive this week first before thinking about next year
When the 80,000 level drops, you'll know no one really wants to chase the high, everyone is waiting for a reversal
If the market maker really cooperates and pushes up on Thursday, I might be interested, but believe it or not
Feels like the Nasdaq is the real boss, BTC is just a follower
