In the past few days, Bitcoin and Ethereum have surged and then entered a phase of oscillation and adjustment. From the current trend, the bulls still hold the upper hand.

Let's first look at liquidity layout. Bitcoin has accumulated a lot of liquidity around 99,000, and the main force has not fully taken over — in other words, it's just one step away from a breakthrough. Ethereum at the 3500 level is similar, both are on the eve of the main force's imminent move.

From the daily chart perspective, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have broken through their previous correction centers, indicating that the main structure of the upward trend is still intact.

Friday is a critical point. If the market doesn't move today, we might have to wait until next week for an opportunity. The current rhythm is to repeatedly confirm near the center before continuing to push towards the upper liquidity zone.

The strategy is simple — patiently wait for the main force to initiate, no need to rush to chase highs.

99000 this level really feels tight, still waiting for the main force to take action If the main force dares to move, we'll see by Friday Liquidity is piled up there, it has to be absorbed eventually Let's wait and see, no need to rush Holding steady at 3500 would be considered a win Feels like I need to confirm repeatedly again, so frustrating This is probably the rhythm the main force is aiming for

The final shot just won't go in, the main force is dragging their feet Wait, wait, if we keep waiting like this, we'll be waiting forever Why is it always impossible to get past the 99,000 hurdle If there's no movement on Friday, I really will start to doubt The main force is taking way too long to absorb the positions, so it seems we're all just throwing a tantrum

I've heard this explanation before; in 2018, they told me the same thing, and the result was... the main force activated and then ran away.

Wait, can 99,000 really break through? Feels like the main force is just messing around. The main force always does this, holding back right before the final push and not letting it in. If there's no movement by Friday, I'll just go flat and give up. If it can't break the center, don't pretend to be bullish, don't trick me into chasing highs. Liquidity isn't guaranteed to eat up there either, it's too difficult. If it weren't for waiting until next week, I would have moved on to other cryptocurrencies. Stop rushing, brother, just watch honestly, don't chase.

The main force is still fooling around, no rush. Wait and see, see you on Friday. The 99,000 key level indeed has a lot of weight, whether it breaks or not is a different matter. I’m very familiar with the feeling of that final step; it’s often the hardest. Instead of blindly chasing highs, it’s better to have a cup of tea and calm down. As long as the bulls are still alive, everything else depends on the main force’s mood. Whether this round can break out or not, we’ll find out on Friday or next week. 3500 is the same, nothing special, just see if it can hold steady. Liquidity is piled up there, it will be used sooner or later. Don’t rush, as long as the rhythm isn’t disturbed, keep waiting.

The main force is still hesitating at the 99,000 level. It feels like next week will be the real highlight. Wait, if there's no movement on Friday, does that mean the breakout will happen right at the start of next Monday?

Bro, the 99,000 level is really tricky. Wait, when will the big players move? I've been waiting until I'm exhausted. If it doesn't take off by Friday, I'll just relax until next week. It's easy to say not to chase the high, but can you really hold back?

Wait, is 99,000 really going to break? It feels like the main force is holding back a big move. If the main force isn't moving, we shouldn't act recklessly either. Still have some patience. The key level is 3,500. If it doesn't happen today, we'll have to wait until Monday again? So annoying. Basically, it depends on whether something can be done by Friday; otherwise, we'll just keep dragging it out. With liquidity so accumulated, it can't just be left like this.

Can we break through this 99,000 barrier? If the main force really acts, it will be over. Let's wait and see what happens on Friday. This rhythm is a bit heartbreaking, what are we repeatedly confirming? But as long as the bullish pattern remains, it's fine.

I've already said that this wave is the best opportunity to get on board. For those still hesitating, just wait and regret it later.
