【Crypto World】Looking at the recent 4-hour trend, BTC price has rebounded compared to yesterday noon and even broke through yesterday midnight’s high, forming a strong bullish candlestick. The last candlestick closed bullish, indicating that the bulls are still exerting effort. However, the trading volume is interesting—while the price is rising, the trading volume is shrinking. This is a classic divergence between volume and price, suggesting that the upward momentum may be weakening.

From a technical indicator perspective, the MACD currently shows no clear direction, but the histogram remains negative and is gradually shortening, which indicates that the bullish strength is gradually increasing. The KDJ does not show a golden cross or death cross and remains neutral. Interestingly, the MA10 has crossed above the MA30, which is usually a good signal.

According to BOSS Wallet’s analysis, the current key levels are as follows:

Long Position Setup: Entry point one at 90557.67, entry point two at 91858.76, with a stop loss at 90839.72.

Short Position Setup: Entry point one at 97288.0, entry point two at 97637.04, with a stop loss at 97753.76.

Support and Resistance: Recent support is at 94252.0, resistance at 97288.0. The high touched 97267.42, and the low dropped to 91296.2.

Overall, BTC is currently in a controversial stage—bullish signals are emerging, but the weakening volume warrants attention. Traders can formulate strategies based on their risk tolerance at the above levels.

The divergence between price and volume always claims that momentum is weakening, but then suddenly it surges back up again—it's exhausting.

Divergence between price and volume, huh? That's a bit uncomfortable. I think I need to wait and see.

Divergence between price and volume, this wave is really a bit fake. Just shouting bullish without increasing volume, is it a real breakout or a false signal? --- Can we be sure it's going to take off just because the MA10 crosses above the MA30? I think it's uncertain, let's wait for a confirmation signal. --- Setting stop-loss at 90839 so close, a slight jump and you're out. This approach feels a bit tense. --- MACD histogram getting shorter means increased momentum? The logic is reversed, isn't it? Isn't this a sign of exhaustion? --- Price rises while volume shrinks, a classic false breakout. Don't be fooled, brother. --- There's not even a golden cross or death cross, what are you analyzing? The indicators have no say. --- Is the 90+ level really the bottom? Feels like it could drop another wave.

The classic move of divergence between price and volume, every time I think it will break through but end up getting slapped in the face. Quickly buy the dip at these two levels, praying it won't fall further haha. MA10 crossing above MA30? Sounds good, but I still feel a bit uneasy. Can we hold this wave, everyone? It feels like the bulls are still struggling to support. The shrinking trading volume is really annoying, feels like just a bluff. I've already set up at the 90557 level, just waiting for a rebound to take profits. Another divergence between volume and price, can you stop torturing us, brothers?

The divergence between price and volume is really easy to mess up; I'll wait and see before making any moves.

The divergence between price and volume is really clever. The price rises while volume drops. Is this bullish move just a bluff?

actually... the volume divergence thing is lowkey what gets me here. price pumping while volume dries up? that's the classic tell that this rally's running on fumes, not real conviction. reminds me why i'm skeptical of these "bullish signals" without proper backing
