Bitcoin is currently trading in a clear high-pressure zone. After a continuous rally, the price approaches the previous high around 91,500, but multiple attempts to break through have failed to establish a firm footing. This area is a typical dense resistance zone at the previous high. The current upward movement is more driven by inertia rather than the start of a new trend. Once the upward momentum weakens, a pullback is often swift.
From the Bollinger Bands perspective, the price is near the upper band, which is beginning to flatten, and the bandwidth has not expanded significantly, indicating insufficient trend strength. Continuing to chase longs in this state offers very low cost-effectiveness and is more likely to result in a high-level pullback. If the price falls back and breaks below the midline around 89,100, the short-term structure will weaken noticeably, and the bearish advantage will gradually emerge.
Looking at the candlestick patterns, although the overall trend is still rising, the length of the bullish candles is gradually shortening, and the upper shadows are increasing, indicating that selling pressure above is accumulating. The bulls are struggling to push higher, and there are signs of funds gradually cashing out at high levels. As long as there are volume-increasing long bearish candles or continuous declines, short-term sentiment can quickly reverse.
Combining position and sentiment, the current stage is characterized by most traders feeling bullish and prices at high levels. This is often the most susceptible area for a trap to the upside. Without a volume-driven breakout above the previous high, blindly expecting further gains carries significantly higher risk than potential reward.
Overall, the strategy is not suitable for chasing longs. It leans more towards a correction after high-pressure. Focus on resistance around 91,500 to 92,000, and support levels at 90,000 and further down at the midline around 89,100. In this situation, managing position size and pace is more important than blindly betting on direction.
