Yesterday morning, I said Ethereum was okay, but then it pulled back sharply. I decided to observe for two more days before making a move. As a result, it performed much weaker than Bitcoin, then in the evening, it surged strongly followed by a waterfall decline. This daily chart can only indicate that the price hasn't bottomed out. Bitcoin is slightly stronger but still in a downward channel. It has been four consecutive days of sideways movement during the day, with two large four-hour bearish candles at night to resolve the battle. Liquidity is poor, sentiment is bad, and there's no need to chase after falling knives.
Yesterday, both bulls and bears were wiped out. I chose to watch from the sidelines, of course, some traders managed to profit from both sides, and others got caught in the middle, taking hits from both ends. How to choose depends on your own judgment.
Tomorrow is the day Japan announces its interest rate hike, expected between 11:00 and 13:00. Then, the market manipulators might start their moves within a week, either before or after the news release.
Currently, many people have exited the market to wait and see. I also suggest doing the same.
My advice is to wait for a dip to buy more. Support levels at 80,000, 75,000, and 69,000 are potential bottom zones, and it might be worth considering buying in at these levels. Buying spot is also a good option. Whether the move is long or short depends on how strong the subsequent K-line is when it moves. #参与创作者认证计划月领$10,000 #BTC行情分析 $BTC $ETH
