Recently, Bitcoin has been falling from 94,500 for three days now, and it’s currently bouncing back and forth between 90,000 and 91,500. Looking at this level, we’ve actually tested it twice already—if we continue to short around 91,500, how big is the risk?

Honestly, the continuous range-bound oscillation itself is telling us something. The bulls are no longer eager to push down, and the bears lack the resolve to break through. Both sides are just testing each other. But the thing is, after testing a level twice, the third time usually requires a new approach.

But don’t rush to short all in. Observe Ethereum’s movement; its performance will give us some reference signals. Additionally, ZEC is also worth paying attention to, as such coins often react unexpectedly during market sentiment shifts.

Instead of obsessing over how many times Bitcoin can be pushed down within this range, it’s better to see if other coins are brewing opportunities. Sometimes, the best trading opportunities are right where no one is paying much attention.

BTC0,23%

ETH0,86%

ZEC3,33%

They're changing tactics for the third time. I'm a bit worried this might cause issues, so it's safer to keep an eye on those less popular coins.

Be very careful with this position. Last time, I got wiped out at 91,500. The bears lack conviction, and the bulls are also weak. It feels like a trend reversal is coming. Instead of just holding onto BTC, it's better to secretly check if any small coins are taking off. That's where the real money is.

The 91,500 level, I've said before, will become a psychological barrier... ETH's trend is the real signal, don't just focus on BTC's fluctuations. Recently, ZEC on-chain data is quite interesting; this is the real low-key accumulation opportunity. Instead of counting whether it's the third time breaking the level, it's better to see what big moves obscure coins are preparing. Honestly, the bottom consensus hasn't formed yet; rushing won't cook hot tofu. Whether the 90,000 level can hold depends on the emotional shift, not the price itself.

The third time's the charm, we've seen this pattern too many times, really --- 15,000 yuan trap, you've fallen for it twice and want to step into it a third time? I just smile and say nothing --- Instead of stubbornly fighting over the Bitcoin range, it's better to follow your suggestion and look at ZEC. Sometimes the dark horse is hiding in the corner --- Bullish momentum is weak, and bears lack conviction. This is the most dangerous signal, and retail investors are most likely to get caught at this time --- Ethereum's movements are indeed worth watching. When Bitcoin is dithering, other coins are often brewing --- Still shorting? Bro, someone has already learned their lesson at this position --- Range fluctuation for three days indicates the market is accumulating strength. It all depends on which side can't hold up first

After three days of grinding and still hesitating, it's definitely time to be cautious. The third time is the charm; otherwise, you'll just keep getting beaten. Keep an eye on small coins like ZEC; they often have the potential to be caught at the bottom.

9.15万 this position is really a master of fake-outs, three hits and still want to continue? I think it's time to look for dark horses like ZEC. --- Bickering for three days, neither bulls nor bears have any clear idea, this kind of stalemate is the most annoying. --- Instead of being stuck at around 90,000, why not look at those coins no one is paying attention to? Opportunities are often in the corners. --- I'm really not brave enough to short for the third time after two hits at 91,500. Let's change our approach and observe Ethereum's movements. --- You ate through 91,500 twice and still want to come for the third time? Are you trying to be crushed by the main players? --- What does range fluctuation indicate? It just means no one has the confidence to break through. Then why bother, let's look for other opportunities. --- Is anyone paying attention to ZEC? It feels like Bitcoin has already lost its appeal.
