January 16 Technical Observation



From the hourly chart, Bitcoin experienced a complete correction last night, with a rise followed by a fall. The price left a long upper shadow during the rally, indicating that selling pressure above is quite heavy. The previously supported key minor levels have been broken, and the bullish momentum for further upward movement is clearly weakening.

There are interesting changes on the technical indicators. The MACD has already formed a death cross and is clearly diverging downward, indicating that short-term bearish forces are gaining control. The Bollinger Bands are also opening downward in sync, further opening the downside space for the market. Overall, the market remains in a relatively weak state.

In this situation, how to operate? When a rebound occurs, it is more prudent to establish short positions at relatively high points. A rebound itself is an opportunity to escape, so chasing highs is not advisable. Currently, it is indeed not a good time to go long, but any upward correction should prompt consideration of exiting or reversing positions.

Another bearish rhythm, this time it’s really a bit uncomfortable

---

MACD death cross signal... I think we still need to listen

---

Bounce and then run, really, don’t be greedy

---

Such a long upper shadow, indicating significant resistance above

---

Short position setup? I’d still wait and see, entering now doesn’t feel like low risk

---

I agree that the bullish momentum is weakening, but who knows where the bottom is

---

In this kind of market, there’s no need to force long positions; exiting is the best strategy

Seeing a death cross makes me think of running away, and you’re even talking about reverse positioning? I’m damn too familiar with this routine.

---

Long upper shadow, people always hype it up, but what’s the result?

---

Saying don’t chase the high sounds nice, but when the rebound happens, aren’t you itching to buy?

---

You short, I’ll observe for a while first.

---

Bollinger Bands opening downward... Yesterday someone said it was going up, but that’s just how this market is.

---

Rebound escape opportunities? Ha, the next rebound will have a different story.

---

If the MACD forms a death cross, should I run? Then I would have been dead for the past two years.

---

Heavy selling pressure is a good thing, the price becomes cheaper.

---

This kind of analysis can be seen every day, but the money is still so much.

Long upper shadow, we really need to be cautious this time

Sell on rebound, don't be greedy

Another death cross, so annoying

The bears are in control, the bulls have no chance

I agree with this trading approach, a rebound is a chance to escape

Bitcoin's current rhythm is a bit disgusting, stay on the sidelines and observe

Are the Bollinger Bands opening downward? Signal to run away is here

Another play of bouncing back and escaping, tired of it. Every time it's "safe to go short," but what happens? The rebound directly hits your stop-loss. The problem is, this logic itself has flaws—how do you determine which rebound is a genuine rebound and which is a trap? This is a typical case of incentive distortion; the pursuit of certainty itself does not exist.

It's that classic upper shadow trap again, someone always falls for it.

The MACD death cross has been obvious for a while, just waiting for the rebound to smash the bears.

No matter how nicely you put it, it's still betting on a rebound. I don't believe this wave can turn around.

If you can get out, do it quickly. Don't wait until the support is broken and then cry for your mother.

I've seen the Bollinger Bands open downward too many times, and you all know the ending.

It's another case of calling a top from the heights. You sell at the rebound, I don't believe you.

Here we go again, selling on rebounds until your ears are calloused from listening.

---

With such obvious long upper shadows, who still dares to buy the dip? Laughing to death.

---

Is the bear controlling the rhythm? I feel like the rhythm is being dictated by my losses.

---

Waiting for the rebound to open short positions... It's easy to say, but at the moment of the rebound, everyone wants in, and the result is chasing the high and getting trapped.

---

Are there really people still "operating cautiously" now? I think everyone is becoming more gambling-oriented.

---

I saw the Bollinger Bands opening downward, but my account is also opening downward.

---

I've heard a hundred times that not to chase the high, but every rebound still attracts people to rush in.

Death cross happened and still want more? Just wait for the rebound this time and take profits.
