#BTC is currently trading around $89,100. Across multiple timeframes, we are seeing a period of consolidation following a rejection from local highs near $90,600.
Potential Opportunities:
1. The Short Opportunity (Bearish Case)
• Setup: Price is struggling to reclaim the $89,500 level (the 15m Upper Bollinger Band). The 4h chart shows a clear "lower high" pattern.
• Entry: Near $89,200 - $89,500 if it fails to break above the Middle Band.
• Target: Local support at $88,780 (recent wick low) and then $86,000 (major support seen on the 1h/4h charts).
• Stop Loss: Above $90,700 (recent local peak).
2. The Long Opportunity (Bullish Case)
• Setup: BTC is currently holding the daily and 4h support zones. If it stays above $88,800, it may be forming a base for another leg up.
• Entry: A confirmed bounce off $88,800 or a breakout above $89,600 with high volume.
• Target: Resistance at $90,600 and then the major psychological level of $93,400 (visible on the 4h chart).
• Stop Loss: Below $88,500 (to account for stop-hunting wicks).
Risk Warning
The market is currently in a "tight" range. Trading inside the Bollinger Bands during a squeeze often leads to "choppy" price action that can hit stop losses on both sides. The high percentage of Longs in the order book (up to 92% in one of your shots) suggests that a sudden drop could be more violent than a sudden pump due to liquidations.
