To be honest, Bitcoin's current position is quite tricky.
There are plenty of reasons on the bearish side: the moving average system is clearly suppressing the price, and the short-term trend doesn't look great. The MACD momentum is fading, indicating that selling pressure remains. On the macro side, the US core PCE price index is still pretty high year-over-year—rate cuts? The market doesn't really believe it now. As soon as the dollar strengthens, risk assets like crypto naturally come under a lot of pressure.
But the bulls aren't out of chances either. The 89,000 to 90,000 range has held up several times—this is a key support area. If it can hold, a technical rebound could happen at any time. On-chain data shows some funds are leaving, but open interest in futures is rising again—participation is picking up. Looking at a longer time frame, institutions are still buying in, and there are positive signals from the government level as well. The fundamentals are actually quite solid.
💎 What’s the play here?
Simply put, this is a sensitive moment with bulls and bears in a tug of war. Short-term traders can watch for support and resistance to do some high-frequency trading, but don't go heavy on positions and always use stop-losses. Thinking of going mid- to long-term? You'll need more patience—either wait for lower prices to accumulate slowly, or wait until a key resistance is decisively broken before chasing in.
High market volatility is the norm—always weigh the risks carefully before making any decisions.

Yeah, the 89,000-90,000 level is definitely critical. If it can't break through, we'll have to reassess.
With both the USD and PCE in play, this round is really putting on a lot of pressure.
Are institutions still buying? Then I'll just wait a bit longer, no rush anyway.
You're right, it's basically a gamble now on whether the support can hold.
Short-term buying low and selling high sounds easy, but in practice it's all pain.
Feels like the bulls are struggling this round, and the bearish voices are getting too loud.
Those who positioned mid- to long-term must be stuck by now. Who still dares to buy the dip at this point?

89,000 is really a critical level. If it can't hold, I'm out.

honestly the 89-90k range holding up again is giving me flashbacks to every time i've been confidently wrong about support levels, technically speaking this whole thing screams "classic mistake" energy — like yeah the institutions are buying but so were they before the last cascade, ngl

To be honest, the 89,000-90,000 level is really a hurdle. Whether we can break through depends on these next couple of days.
I do believe institutions are buying, but in the short term, the technicals do look a bit concerning. It feels like we're just betting on when the US dollar will ease up.
