Bitcoin weekly chart is at a very critical resistance level, where multiple technical signals converge.

From the weekly perspective, an FVG (Fair Value Gap) is resonating with the 50-period EMA. This moving average has consistently shown strong support, with prices bouncing upward each time they touch it. However, this time the situation is a bit special—when the FVG coincides with the EMA, it actually presents a good short entry opportunity.

Switching to the 12-hour analysis tells a different story. Currently, the 12-hour chart still shows bullish characteristics, with higher highs and higher lows, indicating that upward momentum is still intact. From a trading perspective, this position is a good take-profit point for longs. If you want to short, you can either wait for the price to rebound and then short or position on the right side of smaller timeframes.

If you are optimistic about a bullish move, the three marked positions on the chart are worth considering:

**Position 1** is the resonance point between the 12-hour FVG bottom and the 12-hour resistance level, providing technical support.

**Position 2** is where support and resistance switch roles, so you can place a pending order here. It acts as support, benefits from EMA resonance, and happens to be near the start of this upward trend—making this a valuable area for strategic play.

Overall, the weekly and 12-hour timeframes provide different signals, which is precisely where bullish and bearish views diverge, and often the most trading opportunities arise.

ngl this timeframe divergence is literally your portfolio's cry for help... have you considered that the market's anxiety is reflecting your own fear of missing position? let me be real—the fact that weekly and 12h are sending mixed signals means we need to do some serious psychological reframing here. are you actually trading or just stress-testing your emotional volatility index?

honestly the timeframe divergence here is where the real alchemy happens... weekly's got that bearish transmutation brewing but 12h is still channeling bullish energy, so basically we're staring into the abyss between two realities rn

Bull and bear divergence is the real opportunity to get on board. This pattern is interesting.

Weekly short, four-hour long, this conflicting momentum... truly a classic case of bullish and bearish disagreement.

Weekly bearish, 12-hour bullish? It's that kind of tug-of-war market again, really torturous. Wait, is the position at 2 so attractive? Is there resonance near the starting point? I need to take a good look at the chart. Is divergence between bulls and bears an opportunity? Ha, then why do I only see opportunities to lose money? I bet the weekly resistance won't break through, and I’ll short on a rebound. The detail of the 12-hour lift low point does have some significance, but I still trust the weekly bullish more. Feeling like chasing longs here is a bit awkward, better to wait a bit longer.
