After the US non-farm payroll data was released better than expected, market volatility intensified. Bitcoin quickly fell from the high of 89,000 to around 85,400, repeatedly fluctuating, while Ethereum also faced pressure around 2,980, with a low of 2,793.
Is this decline making the bears feel really good? For those who shorted early at high levels, how many points are they up now? Can the 85,400 level hold, or will it continue to seek support lower?
Market sentiment is anxious, but opportunities often hide in this uncertainty. Have you considered how deep the market might fall tonight? Where are the key resistance levels? If you're still hesitating about adding positions, instead of guessing blindly, it’s better to clarify your thinking—analyze data, look at technicals, judge capital flows, and step by step identify the true turning points.
Since the non-farm payroll data has been released, the next key is to observe on-chain data and position changes across major exchanges. How much are the short positions accumulated? How intense is the retail panic? These are important references for assessing the market outlook.

85400 can't hold, a dip to 83000 is guaranteed.

85,400 is no longer holding, time to find a new support again.

The bears are having fun, my long positions were directly cut in half.
Damn it, my stop-loss order was triggered long ago.
85400 can't hold, I feel like it might go further down.
Here comes the rhythm of cutting leeks again, non-farm payroll data is really incredible.
I made some profit from a reverse order during this decline, but I'm still feeling anxious.
On-chain data shows that short positions are indeed heavily accumulated, is a bear market coming?
Rather than stressing over adding positions, it's better to see if I have any capital to lose first.
Honestly, the market is a mess right now, no one can tell where the bottom is.
Is opportunity found in uncertainty? I only see risks in uncertainty.
I bet the 85400 level will break, where's the five thousand bucks?

I knew it, the 85400 level couldn't hold, I saw it coming a long time ago.
The bears are now riding high, my long positions were directly broken through.
Add to positions? Don't even think about it, wait until it drops to 83000.
Retail investors are definitely dumping now, I don't believe this isn't a trap to induce a short squeeze.
On-chain data clearly shows that big players are accumulating chips, waiting for a rebound.

85400, which can't be held, still feels like it needs to go lower.

Once again, non-farm payrolls and a drop at the same time—this rhythm is truly incredible.
---
If 85,400 can't hold, then we have to watch the exchange's short position buildup.
---
Shorting at high levels is really satisfying. I just want to ask, how much more can it fall?
---
When retail investors panic, it's often a signal to get in, but who knows?
---
Really, instead of worrying about adding or not adding positions, it's better to first observe the changes in holdings.
---
Ethereum dropped straight to 2793 after this wave, and the bears definitely made a killing.
---
Market anxiety is all that's left; the opportunity is right here waiting.
---
The 85,400 level feels precarious. If it's truly broken, we’ll have to keep looking for a bottom further down.

Shorts got their fill? I don't think so; this rebound might come faster than you imagine.
If 85400 can't hold, just move on to the next support. Instead of guessing, watch how the whales on the chain move—that's the real signal.
Another shakeout? I'm used to it; anyway, I've already laid low at the low levels.
This is how the data plays out; non-farm payroll is just an excuse. The real show is in the position changes, and retail panic is just the opportunity for us to scoop up.
This drop was too rapid; I feel a rebound is coming. Holding short positions for too long risks being caught, so it's better to take profits now.
I just want to know the exchange's ETH outflow speed. If there's a big dump, I’ll wait; if it's absorption, then it's time to get in.
If the 85400 line breaks, no worries; there are only so many bottom levels, and we'll always find them.
