On January 7th, will Bitcoin and Ethereum's trends break through the 100,000 mark as the market predicts?



Federal Reserve officials have signaled a rate cut, implying a potential increase of over 100 basis points within the year. Meanwhile, international situations are constantly changing. The market saw a volume surge before the US trading session, but after breaking through 94,000, it failed to stabilize, instead creating a false breakout and setting a bull trap.

I have been warning—don't blindly follow the trend to go long. Many people chased aggressively at high levels, but the trend had already shown signs long ago. We had short positions in the 942-945 range, which suddenly surged just before the US session to the entry point, then immediately triggered. After a period of consolidation, it plunged sharply, dropping 3,000 points from a peak in an instant, finally falling to around 91,400.

On a short-term basis, moving averages have formed a bullish alignment, and the golden cross has been confirmed, indicating that short-term momentum is building. But where is the problem? Trading volume has shrunk to an extreme, which is completely disconnected from the price increase. Volume-price divergence is the most dangerous signal, indicating that the upward momentum lacks strong conviction. Additionally, recent candlestick patterns show a bearish engulfing, so it’s safe to say that the correction will continue.

Trading strategy: Focus on short positions between 93,100-93,500, with consideration to add at 94,200. Watch whether 91,900 can be broken; if it is, then keep an eye on 91,400, and for a more aggressive approach, target 90,600.

Divergence between price and volume, huh? This flower blooms so superficially... The seemingly prosperous moving average arrangement is misleading, but the trading volume has shrunk. It's like a concert with no audience—no matter how good the performance, it's all in vain.

Once again a false alarm. The retail investors who chased in at high prices should wake up now. Divergence between price and volume is the real signal. Expect a break below 919.

Price and volume divergence is the real killer; don't be fooled by the false rally. Those chasing longs at high levels are probably trapped and wiped out. Learn your lesson. That surge to 94,000 was definitely a trap; I almost got caught too. Shrinking trading volume is a warning; whether you heed it or not is up to you. This correction is far from over; only when 919 breaks will it be considered over.

The divergence between price and volume is never a good sign when it appears. Those chasing longs at high levels should wake up.

Price and volume divergence is a dead end; how many people have been trapped here?
