Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced a round of oscillation yesterday, followed by a correction and rebound. The US released the December ADP employment data, showing only 41,000 new jobs added, significantly less than the expected 50,000, indicating a slowdown in overall labor market growth. Interestingly, although some data has eased compared to before, the two main cryptocurrencies in the market did not rebound after the data was released; instead, they continued to weaken. Early last night, Bitcoin briefly dropped to around 90,700, with the decline gradually easing; Ethereum also behaved similarly, falling to around 3,130 before rebounding.
From a technical perspective, both coins showed some weakness at the beginning of the week. Bitcoin and Ethereum both struggled after rebounding to the early December highs, followed by profit-taking selling pressure, leading to a price correction. Currently, on the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin's price has retraced to near the lower band of the Bollinger Bands (around 90,000), where it found support, easing the downward momentum. The key point is that the RSI indicator has entered the oversold zone, and the MACD is also showing decreasing momentum. Although the bears still hold the advantage, the hourly RSI has already turned upward from the oversold area, indicating a short-term potential for a rebound and correction.
In the short term, Bitcoin needs to watch the resistance levels at 92,500 and 93,000. The critical support is at the 90,000 level, which is very important. If selling pressure continues to increase and the 90,000 level is broken, the next target could be around 89,000.
Ethereum's correction has been relatively mild. From a technical standpoint, the price stopped falling after retracing to the lower band of the 4-hour Bollinger Bands. Although the short-term bearish momentum is still strong, the hourly chart shows signs of a rebound and correction. The short-term resistance levels are at 3,200 and 3,250, while support levels are at 3,100 and 3,070. The most critical support is at the 3,000 level.
Overall, these two days are likely to be a period of correction. Tonight, special attention should be paid to the release of the US initial jobless claims data, as this data could have a certain impact on the market.

90700 has dropped again. I already said this fake rebound would happen, and as soon as the profit-taking started, the true nature was exposed.

Wait, I see something suspicious in this data pattern... ADP data is below expectations, yet the price is dropping? There must be big players lurking behind the scenes.
According to on-chain data tracking, this wave of 90,700 sell-offs is clearly not retail investors' behavior—it's a typical wash trading tactic.
Obviously, the 90,000 key support level is the institution's sniper position. If it can't be broken, someone is holding onto the chips.
After analysis and judgment, this rebound might just be a false alarm; the real target could be 89,000 or even lower. I had already guessed this.

If 90,000 breaks, we really need to see if 89,000 can hold. Otherwise, it will have to continue to decline.

Here we go again... I almost couldn't hold the 90700 drop, with the liquidation price dancing right in front of my eyes. The painful lesson is that I shouldn't have gone all in on that move.

Ah, another dump. This rhythm is all too familiar.
Even with positive data, the crypto market doesn't buy it. Truly incredible.
The 90,000 level must be held; otherwise, it will be awkward.
It looks like we need to wait for the recovery period. The unemployment data tonight is the key.
There is still a possibility of a short-term rebound; the hourly chart has already turned.
3000 is ETH's last line of defense.

Damn it, another late-night dump. I just want to get a full night's sleep.
The 90000 level is really heartbreaking. If the support doesn't hold, I need to keep an eye on 89000.
Ethereum must hold the 3000 level. If it breaks, I really need to consider stopping losses.
The RSI turning upward sounds good, but I still don't dare to go all in. I can't even save on gas fees, what’s the point of trying to recover?
Another initial jobless claims report in the evening? This market is really insane.

90700 That wave, I saw the live stream room panicking, feeling like another round of vampire-like surge is coming.
