The weekend rebound was indeed impressive, surging from 90,800 all the way to 94,800, looking like it was about to break through. But then the market hit a double top in the evening, giving a warning sign. After reaching around 94,500, it suddenly plunged down to 91,300, bouncing back and forth in a loop.



From the overall environment, there are some signs of movement in the peripheral regions this week, plus the US and China tensions are heating up, giving the market a bit of an excuse for a rebound. But to be honest, the enthusiasm for a second rate cut has long faded, and market expectations for further rate cuts have cooled down accordingly. This has led institutions to start selling, whales are less active, trading volume has significantly shrunk, and the entire market is just oscillating within a wide range.

On the technical side, the monthly chart has shifted from bearish to neutral, with four consecutive bearish candles. It’s barely showing a bullish candle now but struggling near the mid-line. The weekly chart, despite shrinking volume and two bullish candles in a row, faces significant resistance above, indicating the market still has the potential to continue downward. In the short term, the 95,000 level is a critical resistance point; if it cannot break through, further testing downward is likely. Support levels below are around 84,000, with a smaller support at 88,800 to watch. The four-hour chart has already shifted from bullish to bearish, and the hourly chart is also trending downward.

In terms of trading strategy, since the market is still oscillating within this wide range and the trend remains downward, it’s recommended to gradually establish short positions above the 94,000-95,000 zone. The target below is around 89,000-85,000.

But no matter how the market moves, risk management always comes first. Never get carried away by small rebounds; protecting your holdings is the key to coming out on top in the end.

lol classic double top rejection, paper hands getting faked out again while whales quietly accumulate. the real alpha was shorting that 94.8k fake pump, not chasing it like a degenerate.

The double-top pattern is back again, really impressive, always tricking me here multiple times. The expectation of interest rate cuts has cooled down, and this is how it is. No one is willing to take over, institutions are also leaving, wide fluctuations are too unsettling. If 95,000 can't be broken, it might go lower. Is 88,800 really a key level? Feels like it might test 84,000. Wait, should I really short this wave? Always feel like something's off. Risk control is above everything, I've heard this a thousand times, yet some still go all in.

The double-top pattern is seen way too often, it's just testing our stop-loss points. Constantly cutting interest rates day after day, and yet, institutions still have to run. This rotten market really feels like a shakeout. If 95,000 can't be broken, we have to push lower. Will the small support at 88,800 hold? I have my doubts. Risk control is real, but what's even more true is that we have to hold on to the bottom. This rebound is just a trap to lure more traders in. What are you thinking chasing it now?

Double needle top? Are you telling me not to be greedy, haha --- Again, wide-range fluctuations and downward trend. We, the retail investors, are truly well "protected" --- I knew the moment 94500 suddenly plunged that the market was playing me --- Risk control first, that's true, but unfortunately my fingers are always faster than my brain --- Watching 94800 about to break through, but then turning around and dropping back to 91300, my emotional swings are bigger than the market itself --- Institutional selling, whales not active, trading volume shrinking—who can withstand this combo? --- A five-thousand-dollar fluctuation looks like fifty thousand. Should I get a new pair of glasses? --- From 85000 to 89000, I guess I’ll have to wait to be repeatedly educated again
