#数字货币市场洞察 12.8 Bitcoin and Ethereum Technical Analysis: Resistance Zone Pressure, Short-term Strategy is Short First Then Long



Bitcoin Technical Analysis

On the daily chart, after a bullish close and rebound yesterday, today’s opening saw an upward test but met resistance and entered a consolidation phase. The Bollinger Bands are narrowing and flattening, with short-term moving averages hovering around the middle band. The MACD fast and slow lines are extending upward with increasing volume, KDJ has crossed upward again, and the VR indicator is holding near the 50 level.

On the 4-hour chart, after breaking through the middle band, the price faces resistance near the upper band, with Bollinger Bands narrowing. Short-term moving averages are running near the middle band, MACD is crossing upward with volume, KDJ is extending upward but watch for pressure near the 100 level, and the VR indicator is consolidating around 80.

Overall, after the weekend’s dip and rebound, Bitcoin is currently repeatedly testing a key resistance zone. Watch for support above 89,000; the short-term approach can be to short at resistance and consider going long on pullbacks to support.

Bitcoin Trading Reference: Short at current price 91,880, long at 89,500 (adjust flexibly based on actual breakout situation)

Ethereum Technical Analysis

On the daily chart, Ethereum’s Bollinger Bands are flat, with the upper band as the current short-term resistance. The 4-hour chart also faces pressure from the upper band, and the EMA200 area also acts as resistance. The technicals are moving in sync with Bitcoin, so it’s recommended to use the same short-first-then-long strategy. You can initiate shorts directly at the resistance zone, with key support above 3,000 to watch below.

Ethereum Trading Reference: Short at current price 3,140, long at 3,035 (judge independently based on breakout confirmation)

The market rhythm remains weak with clear stage resistance—patience and waiting for confirmation signals are most crucial. $BTC $ETH

It's another pattern of clearing out first and then increasing. Can this really break through this time, or will it just keep bouncing around the resistance zone...

It's the same old short first, long later routine again. Can we get something new for a change? Haha.

This "short first, then long" strategy depends on whether the weekly support can hold. Otherwise, it might get dumped again.

Stuck at the resistance zone again, this rebound doesn't feel strong at all. --- This play of short first then long, how many times have I mentioned it... just watch. --- Bollinger Bands are narrowing, the market is boring, better to sleep and wait for a signal. --- Can that 89000 line hold? Feels shaky. --- Short at 3140, long at 3035, will this swing trade make a profit or a loss... feeling a bit uncertain. --- I managed to exit at the top during that weekend drop, now entering on the rebound feels a bit timid. --- KDJ crossed upwards again, but last time it still went down after this. --- I said to wait for a confirmation signal, but still can't resist taking action. --- The rhythm of this market cycle is really weak, no momentum. --- Why does opening a short now feel like giving away money...

The same old trick of going short first and then long is back again. Can we really break the resistance this time? Last time when this was said, it got smashed down from 92k.

It's the same old trick: short first, then long. If you short from 91,880, can it drop back to 89,500? Feels a bit uncertain.

Same old "short first, then long" routine, I'm tired of seeing the resistance zone being tested over and over. --- Can I break even if I shorted from 91880? Feels like this move isn't that simple. --- Thinking about shorting just because the Bollinger Bands are narrowing? I feel bad for those trapped below 89000. --- If you're just copying Ethereum's approach whenever the technicals align, where's the innovation, bro? --- Patiently waiting for confirmation signals, but my account can't wait, haha. --- Been shorting at 3140 for ages, what if it breaks out? The stop-loss order eats up all the profits. --- Why is it always "short first, then long"? Can we switch it up and go "long first, then short" for a change? --- What does repeated testing of resistance levels mean? It probably means the technicals aren't reliable.

The resistance zone is tormenting us again and again. We should try the strategy of going short first and then long, but having the patience to wait for signals is key.

Short first, then long again? It's always the same trick. When will we ever be able to buy the dip?
