The impact of the US stock market being closed today is quite evident, with overall market trading volume significantly shrinking, and the market rhythm being kept very steady, basically oscillating within a narrow range. Bitcoin slightly retreated from the 88,000 level to around 87,400 and stabilized, with bulls only showing some signs of life at midday, rallying several hundred points to a high of 87,900; Ethereum followed a similar pattern, initially weak, then stabilizing around 2,955.



Interestingly, the bears did not show any real selling pressure, so overall the market is still oscillating mildly. The strategy in this kind of market is actually very simple—don't try to chase big one-sided moves, and avoid overtrading. When you see a dip, position appropriately; if there's an opportunity to enter, do so. Being too conservative can cause you to miss opportunities.

From the 4-hour K-line chart, the MACD lines are still fluctuating below the zero axis, and there’s no sign of the green bars turning red, indicating that bearish characteristics are still clear. But there's a detail that shouldn't be ignored—volume has been shrinking noticeably these days, and with the US stock market on holiday, it’s quite challenging to see a strong one-sided trend emerge.

Regarding moving averages, there's an interesting point. Although the price has recently pulled back to test the EMA7 short-term moving average, it has been held down by the EMA30 and EMA120, and the entire moving average system remains in a bearish alignment. This structure has not been broken, so the short-term pattern still leans toward a weak consolidation.

Trading strategy: Consider accumulating long positions on Bitcoin in the 87,000 to 87,300 range, targeting around 85,000; for Ethereum, moderately go long between 2,900 and 2,920, with a target near 3,000.

The US stock market's rally collapses as soon as trading halts. This rhythm is indeed a bit suffocating, repeatedly messing around is a bit annoying. Wait, is the bearish momentum so weak? It feels a bit strange. The moving averages are being tightly suppressed. I'll stay on the sidelines and avoid getting trapped. The 87,000 level is a bit tempting, but I still feel like it needs to drop another round before feeling comfortable. Around 2900 for Ethereum, I might try my luck, just to play with some pocket money. Speaking of shrinking volume, will it directly break through later? I'm a bit worried. Buying on dips is correct, but when will this weak consolidation turn around? It's a bit frustrating.

The US stock market is like this every time it closes, trading volume drops directly, everyone is messing around there repeatedly, it's so boring. 87300 is indeed a good place to try to buy the dip, but don't go all in, there's still resistance above. If the bears are so timid that they can't push the market down, what does that mean? It's actually a bit strange. Buy Ethereum on dips between 2900-2920, gamble on hitting 3000, just like buying a lottery ticket. It feels like today is just killing time. With such a significant drop in volume, don't expect any big moves.

The US stock market is like this every time it closes, trading volume shrinks to nothing... That's right, this market is just here to mess with people. Wait, you said the target is over 87,000 for the bulls to 85,000? That logic is a bit backwards. With such weak trading volume, do you really dare to take the plunge? The moving averages are so clearly pressing down, still want to bottom fish? I think it's risky. But on the other hand, quietly positioning is much more reassuring than chasing highs. This kind of volatile day, it's better to wait until the US stock market opens to see. Right now, placing bets does feel a bit like gambling. MACD is still on the ground, a turnaround so easy that it’s no longer called a bear market. Actually, it all depends on the few hours after the US stock market opens; all the answers are in there.

The US stock market is like this every time it closes, the market seems to be sleeping... Wait, the fact that the bears haven't dumped is a good thing, right? What are you chasing in this terrible weather? Just wait for the dip to get in. MACD is still lying below, and the moving averages are being pressed down hard. Short-term outlook is indeed not promising. I'm a bit tempted at 87,000-87,300. Should I try to make a move? Ethereum is still cautious this round, wait for 3000 to see if it can break through.
