Recently, BTC has been pulling back after surging above 88,033. The 4-hour chart clearly shows this — a bearish candle completely engulfs the previous small bullish candle, indicating that the bulls' momentum for this rally is indeed waning.



From a technical perspective, the middle band of the Bollinger Bands cannot support the price anymore, acting like an invisible ceiling. The support level around 86,366 is a temporary support, but honestly, its strength is not very strong. The entire Bollinger Band is currently tightening and slightly sloping downward, indicating a short-term bearish trend.

Indicators are also signaling bearishness — the MACD is still below the zero line, with the green bars shrinking but not yet crossing over to form a golden cross, showing no signs of reversal. Trading volume has not kept pace; instead, it seems somewhat out of sync with the price movement. The RSI is also below the 50 mark, indicating limited room for a rebound.

Overall, BTC's recent rebound is likely coming to an end, and a correction is highly probable.

ETH's chart looks very similar to BTC — obvious resistance above and a stalled rebound.

Based on this analysis, consider short positions for BTC in the 88,000 to 88,500 range, with targets around 86,500; for ETH, short positions can be considered in the 2,960 to 2,980 range, with targets near 2,900.

The 88k barrier is really tough; the bulls are really about to give up.

When the Bollinger Bands tighten, you know the game is almost over. The short position at 88,000 was indeed the right move.

ngl the MACD divergence here is pretty textbook—volume's not validating this bounce at all, which screams inefficiency vector waiting to be arbitraged downward

The Bollinger Bands tighten and then it has to move out. The room for this move isn't really big.
