BTC recently completed a second test near the 87,400 level, followed by a rapid surge. However, overall it is still hovering around the middle band of the Bollinger, with the upper resistance at 88,000 remaining suppressed. This indicates that the current trend is not a strong upward move; it is more of a range-bound oscillation with repeated battles within the zone.
From the four-hour chart, the lows have not gone lower, suggesting that the bearish momentum is weakening. However, the continuation of bullish candles is average, with insufficient volume to support a sustained rally, making the rebound more of a correction. On the one-hour chart, this is even more evident: after a sharp rise, there is a retracement, with the candlestick bodies converging. Short-term chasing of the rally shows weak willingness to follow through; during the consolidation phase, it’s neither strong enough to push up nor to break down.
Overall, the market is currently oscillating with a slight weak correction, requiring time to confirm the subsequent direction.
In terms of trading strategy, focus on short-term range trading. Avoid chasing longs between 87,800 and 88,200. If there is a rebound and resistance is encountered, consider light short positions. Support levels are around 87,200 to 86,800. If the price stabilizes near 86,800 during a pullback, try a small long position to catch the rebound. If it breaks below 86,600, stop-loss and exit. Currently, the market is not suitable for heavy position chasing; the key is to grasp the rhythm and maintain disciplined execution.
The ETH trend is also worth paying attention to, with a similar overall technical logic.

The grinding wheel is so annoying. I can't break through 88,000 nor push it up. Now I'm just playing the oscillation game with it.

The grindstone is in this condition, and 88000 really has it firmly pressed down, so I don't dare to chase much.

Millstone, millstone, forever the millstone. Looking at this rhythm, you can tell that there is no real consensus between bulls and bears; it's just various forces testing each other's limits. The tug-of-war between 87400 and 88000 simply means neither side has made up their mind yet.

The grindstone is indeed annoying; 88,000 is firmly pressed down and won't break through. I feel like I have to wait a bit longer.

Has the 87,400 been confirmed twice? I see this as a signal of repeatedly harvesting the little guys. They are firmly holding down at 88,000. This grinding rhythm is really torturous.

The grind phase can't be pushed down or broken easily, it's a game of who fails first.
Basically, it's just waiting. With such strong pressure at 88,000, the logic of shorting afterward is quite interesting.
If this wave doesn't fall below 86,800, I suspect the rebound isn't over yet.
