Bitcoin's recent trend signals are quite clear. From the 4-hour chart, after rushing towards 94,000, the price quickly reversed, currently oscillating around 90,000. Behind this wave of consolidation, the main factors are the ongoing impact of US inflation data and Federal Reserve policy directions.

Looking at the key levels ahead: if we can see a volume breakout above 91,000, the upward space will open up, and a rally is likely to start; but if it falls below 90,000, we need to be alert to the risk of a potential bottoming out.

In the short term, it is still advisable to stay on the sidelines and wait for the trend to be confirmed before entering, which will be more prudent. Of course, if you have a higher risk appetite, you can also consider short-term trading within this range, buying low and selling high.

But remember, BTC as the leader has a huge influence on the overall market sentiment. When it rises, it can ignite enthusiasm; when it falls, it can also drag down the entire market. Therefore, keeping a close eye on this asset's movements is very helpful for making comprehensive market allocations.

Still grinding away at the bottom, so annoying. I just want to break 91,000, don't give me these empty promises.

90,000 is really a tough level to break, it feels like playing "Guess Your Mind" Honestly, it still depends on the Federal Reserve's stance; our crypto fate is in their hands Breaking above 91,000 gets us excited, dropping below 90,000 makes us scream—it's that simple and straightforward If BTC really drops, the entire market will probably turn so green that even mom wouldn't recognize it Rather than stressing over these, it's better to play it safe with swing trading, just don't go all in

The 90,000 level keeps oscillating back and forth, it seems we still need to wait for news from the Federal Reserve, otherwise it's easy to get cut. --- Grinding sideways, anyway I’ve gone flat, waiting for a breakdown to happen. --- This wave of the leading coin indeed influences the entire market; the whole market seems to follow its lead. --- Listening to "buy high, sell low" sounds simple, but in practice, it can crush your mentality. It's more reliable to hold coins and wait. --- If 91,000 can't be broken, we should be prepared for a downward move. The most feared aspect of this data-driven market is uncertainty. --- The group at the Federal Reserve is truly our ultimate big short. Every policy they make comes with new tricks. --- Short-term watching is a good idea, at least you won't get caught in a trap, but opportunities might just slip away. --- BTC dragging down other coins is a classic move; when it falls, everything falls. That’s the power of the leader.

90,000 bottoming out for so long, it feels like it will either rally or break through directly. The in-between state is the most tormenting. Bottoming out is just cutting leeks, don't believe in any wait-and-see, as waiting and seeing will make you miss out. When Bitcoin moves, the entire market goes crazy. That's what I dislike about the leading coins. If it breaks 90,000, I will sell out. Anyway, I am already at a loss, and my mindset is dead. Inflation and the Federal Reserve's rhetoric have been heard a thousand times, but I still find watching the K-line more practical. Talking about buying high and selling low sounds easy, but in reality, it's just a rhythm of being cut. If 91,000 can truly break out with volume, I will believe it; otherwise, it's all talk. The key is that no one can be sure right now. Instead of researching, it's better to just lie flat and do nothing.

It's really difficult to break through the 90,000 mark; it feels like you have to test it several times. Wait, is the recent drop mainly due to the Federal Reserve? We need to keep an eye on the Fed meeting. When the leader moves, everything moves; it’s honestly a bit tiring. Swing traders must be thrilled. There's no problem with the cautious approach, but I still feel itchy to take a shot and buy low, sell high. If 91,000 can't be broken, I think we'll continue to fluctuate; just wait for time to create space. Let’s grind the bottom, anyway I’m optimistic in the long term. If I’m not confident in the short term, I’ll just lie low.
