#比特币与黄金战争 The recent market has been a bit dull in the past few days, with $BTC and $ETH showing little presence. Bitcoin is still hovering around 87,000-88,000, while Ethereum is quietly oscillating between 2,900 and 3,000. This kind of market is the most annoying, easily triggering false breakouts and traps on both sides.
Looking at the four-hour chart, the price is just bouncing around near the middle of the Bollinger Bands, with no significant breakthroughs. Even more frustrating is the shrinking volume and lack of momentum, making it hard to see a clear trend in the short term. The bottoming process will continue, so no need to rush.
Although the smaller timeframes have dipped slightly and touched the downward channel, they haven't truly broken through the previous narrow range. The intraday volatility is very tight, and such breakouts are not very meaningful—they're just weak market movements. Be careful not to get caught in a false breakout.
On Bitcoin, the strategy is clear: gradually short around the 88,000 level, with a stop-loss set near 88,500. For Ethereum, a pullback to 2,980-3,000 is a shorting opportunity, with targets around 2,850-2,800.

Once again, this frustrating market... The Bollinger Bands hugging the midline is just torture.
---
The shrinking trading volume is really annoying; small investors are most likely to get trapped.
---
I'm also watching the 88,000 short position, just worried it might be a false breakout again.
---
This round of weakness is indeed pointless; better to wait and see.
---
It's better to get in when ETH drops to 2800.
---
Bottoming out requires patience; don't rush to chase.
---
Feels like this round is a trap of false shorts and false longs; be careful.
---
Dancing around the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, so annoying.
---
The 88,500 stop-loss is a bit tight; I will loosen it a bit.
---
Trying short positions between 2980-3000, anyway, just killing time.

Bottoming out is too tough to endure, and in this kind of market condition, it's really easy to get trapped and stuck with a single position.
It's another false breakout; I knew 88000 wouldn't break.
With such sluggish trading volume, how can there be any market movement in the short term? We have to wait patiently.
Holding a short position at 2950, hoping it will drop to 2800.
This round of trading has been a bit exhausting; the oscillation back and forth is really annoying.
The short position is set; now just see if it can break through that line.
With insufficient volume, there's no point in talking about market trends; it's better to stay on the sidelines comfortably.

Grinding for so long is really annoying. Seeing false breakouts every day is exhausting. People trapped in positions probably want to cut their wrists.

The shrinking trading volume is indeed a hidden risk, just like smart contracts lacking overflow checks—looks harmless on the surface, but underlying currents are surging. This kind of false breakout is the easiest to trap people, so be cautious.
