The cycle in the crypto world is often a recurring loop—some bear the pressure at high levels, while others quietly position themselves at the lows. Volatility itself tests one’s mindset; the true key to success is not the entry timing, but whether one can maintain a sense of rhythm amid fluctuations and stay clear-headed during frenzy.



The overall performance of Wednesday’s market was a typical oscillating decline. Bitcoin gradually retreated from the 93,825 level in the morning and only stopped its downward trend around 90,987 in the evening. Ethereum followed suit, slipping from a high of 3,301 to a low of 3,142. Throughout the process, the bearish selling pressure was gradually weakening.

From the four-hour chart, the price shows a stair-step downward pattern, currently falling back into the area just above the lower Bollinger Band. Interestingly, the three Bollinger Bands have evolved into a parallel open shape. As the price continues to decline, the bearish momentum shows clear signs of exhaustion. Although there are attempts to probe the lower band support, based on current volume, it’s unlikely that the bears can forcefully break through the support zone below. This indicates that the probability of a rebound is significantly increasing.

On the one-hour chart, a pattern of three consecutive bearish candles has formed, with the price staying close to the lower Bollinger Band. Although there was an earlier attempt to break below, it did not stabilize effectively below that level. Combining previous patterns, the 90,500 level has repeatedly served as a critical point for bulls to launch a counterattack. As long as this support is not effectively broken, a bullish rebound remains promising.

Trading suggestions: Consider going long on Bitcoin within the 91,000-90,500 range, targeting 93,000; for Ethereum, consider long positions between 3,100-3,130, with a target of 3,250.

The bears are running out of bullets, and it feels like the 90500 level is about to break but can't quite do it. --- It's the same setup again—does the bottom rebound probability increase? I'll wait and see if it can really hold first. --- The Bollinger Bands are narrowing again... Is this really a rebound, or just a trap to lure in more bulls? --- Here we go again with the setups, waiting to see what kind of weird stuff is below 90500. --- I've heard the phrase "exhaustion of buying power" a hundred times, but every time I do the opposite. --- Still daring to push back? Not afraid to get a big surprise, haha. --- Planning around 91000-90500? My wallet is already trembling. --- Every time they mention support levels, but it turns out the support is just a breaking point. --- This cycle sounds nice, but it's really just a schedule for chopping up the retail investors. --- Exhaustion of the bears? I'll believe it after I finish watching. Right now, I can't trust anything.

The idea that short-term volume exhaustion is overused, only to be crushed again, really tests your mentality. A rebound? Let's first see if 90500 can hold before talking about that. Before entering long positions, ask yourself if you still have bullets in hand. It's the same price and the same support level; it feels like analysts are just repeating the same lines. The people who positioned themselves at low levels are truly talented; while I was trapped at high levels, they were counting money. Mentality tests are easy to talk about; when losing money, who can really stay clear-headed?

Are the bears exhausted? Then wait for the rebound. Anyway, I have no cash left haha. Both Bollinger Bands and support levels—I've been talking about whether 90,500 can hold, but can it this time? Bottoming out? Bro, I've already cut my losses at the lowest point. It’s frustrating to watch now. What’s the point of mental tests? Just test the account balance, everyone. 93,000 is too far away. I just want to break even; that’s not a dream. Bear exhaustion and declining volume—people keep saying exhaustion. When will it explode? I entered a long position at 3100. If it drops further, I’ll really have to HODL until dawn. Support levels—if broken, they say support has failed; if not broken, they say a rebound is imminent. I’m tired of hearing this rhetoric. Actually, I want to know: is the bears really out of strength this time, or are they brewing a big bearish candle? Rebounds, rebounds, every day a rebound. Where’s my rebound?

Wait, as long as the key level at 90500 isn't broken, just hold tight. Anyway, the bears are also exhausted.

According to research, the exhaustion characteristics of this wave of decline are indeed worth noting. From a technical perspective, the multiple tests of the 90500 support level without a valid breakdown are consistent with a typical reversal pattern. However, it is still recommended to confirm with volume, and avoid being fooled by a false breakout.
