Recently, during this wave of decline, the movements of Ripple and Dogecoin are quite representative. You'll notice that most cryptocurrencies have already touched the middle band of the Bollinger Bands — this is a watershed moment.

Coins that have already fallen below the middle band can generally be considered weak. Those that haven't touched the middle band yet appear to be relatively resilient.

Why is the middle band so critical? Because it serves as an important support level. As long as it holds, there will still be opportunities for a rebound, but the prerequisite is sufficient trading volume. Once it breaks down, things get serious — a MACD death cross will form simultaneously, and then a waterfall decline will follow, so be very cautious.

There haven't been many positive news lately, and market liquidity is quite low. A broad rally is almost impossible. At most, strong sectors like privacy coins, fan tokens, and stablecoins might seize some opportunities.

Another reminder — Bitcoin has now surged to 97,000. This rebound has already been quite significant. Based on the current pace, it's clearly a bear market performance. Don't be fooled by the hype of "bulls are coming."

The middle band of Bollinger Bands is so overused, but the key is whether there is funding to absorb the position. --- 9.7K rebound and you're excited? Wake up, everyone. This is just a bear market trap. --- MACD death cross is really coming, and things will get serious. Don't cry then. --- Can privacy coins and fan tokens really be bottomed out? I doubt it, liquidity is so poor. --- If it can't hold the middle band, the waterfall will just crash down. I bet five cents. --- Trading volume doesn't match any rebound opportunities, it's all nonsense. --- Most coins have touched the middle band. What does that mean? Those who should run early already did. --- Don't be brainwashed by "The bull is coming," just look at the trend to see how strong it is. --- Dogecoin and XRP are finally revealing their true colors this time. --- With such low liquidity, no wonder no one dares to bottom fish.

The middle band of the Bollinger Bands can't hold, it seems unlikely to turn out well. As soon as the MACD shows a death cross, we should run. Still daring to chase the 97,000 rebound? Just wait for the waterfall. With such poor liquidity, how can there be a broad rally? Privacy coins still have some vitality, while others are just barely hanging on. Don't be brainwashed by the bull market talk; it's clearly a bear market rhythm. The trading volume doesn't cooperate; the rebound is just a false breakout. Stay firm and don't buy in.

The middle band of Bollinger Bands? Laughs. This is the final confirmation signal before a leek-cutting event. Whether it holds or not mainly depends on the market maker's mood. Is the rebound of the 97,000-dollar Bitcoin significant? To put it nicely, it's a bear market rebound; to be blunt, it's just a prelude to a trap. Don't be fooled. If the trading volume doesn't keep up, it's all just bluffing. When liquidity is low, it's easiest to miss the move. It'll be too late to regret after the death cross appears. Privacy coins and fan tokens can't hold up the market. This is the final stage of sector rotation. The bottom signal hasn't appeared yet. Instead of watching the middle band support, it's better to see whether Bitcoin will continue to push upward. Once it breaks down, that's the real waterfall. Right now, it's just a false alarm.

Breaking the middle band of the Bollinger Bands is really the end; the waterfall comes suddenly, and this time it's a bit uncertain. --- Thinking of going long at 97,000? That's funny—it's clearly a bear market rhythm. --- Is there still a chance for privacy coins in this wave? Others have almost no liquidity left. --- Volume alone can't support any support levels; it's all talk. --- Once the MACD death cross is confirmed, just run. Don't be greedy. --- What about Dogecoin? Is it still holding strong now? --- Don't expect a broad rally across the board; face the reality, everyone. --- If the middle band is broken, you really need to be careful; waterfalls come quickly.

The middle band of the Bollinger Bands has been talked about so much, it feels like every time it's about whether the support level holds or not. And what’s the result? Still getting smashed anyway. I'm really a bit tired of the MACD death cross waterfall chart theory. They talk very aggressively, but in the end, who can precisely hit the right timing? It’s better to just watch how the big picture moves. The 97,000 level is indeed a bit shaky. A bunch of people shouting that a bull market is actually the most dangerous signal. This time, with liquidity so low, are privacy coins and fan coins actually safer? I always feel that the opposite operation might be the correct way to open things up.

Damn, the middle band of the Bollinger Bands has become a dividing line again. Next time, do we have to look at sheet music to trade cryptocurrencies? --- Bitcoin at 97,000 still rebounding. This rhythm is really incredible. In a bear market pretending to be a bull market, we are professionals. --- Volume doesn't follow, the middle band can't hold, and only after the waterfall comes do you regret it. We've seen this script before. --- Privacy coins, fan coins, stablecoins—can you seize the opportunity? Bro, are you choosing coins or selecting the next explosion project? --- Low liquidity, widespread rise is unlikely. All you leek farmers should just stay low and be honest. --- As soon as a death cross appears, I know it's time to cut losses. I can't handle this buy and sell. --- Ripple, Dogecoin lead the decline. I knew this wave wouldn't create any splash.
