This weekend, Bitcoin has fallen back into the old routine—sideways consolidation with no clear direction. Many traders are asking me in the group whether to go long or short. My answer is straightforward: when the market is unpredictable, the safest move is to stand still.

But as an observer of the market, I need to point out a brewing technical signal. Currently, Bitcoin is at the end of a converging triangle, with signs of a downward continuation pattern. What does this usually mean? The market is likely to lure traders into a false breakout before a real decline—rapidly rising toward the trend resistance line around 88,000-89,000, then dramatically reversing downward.

What is the key dividing point here? If Bitcoin only touches around 88,500 and then immediately pulls back, the probability of a continued decline is high, and the critical support at 86,000 will eventually be broken. Conversely, if it breaks through the trend line and stabilizes, the entire situation will be completely rewritten.

The core issue is: when the market is filled with false signals and fake breakouts, how do you make your judgment? Which data do you trust?

When prices surge, can you truly distinguish whether it's driven by institutional buying or a few large players offloading at high levels? When support levels are broken, can you monitor on-chain liquidation data and market sentiment in derivatives markets in real time? Or do you rely only on lagging candlesticks and potentially distorted exchange data?

This is why decentralized oracle infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. Through consensus mechanisms of distributed node networks, price feeds cannot be manipulated by a single node; with AI-driven anomaly detection, you can obtain confidence intervals for volatility; through cross-market data aggregation, you can see through the true drivers behind the price.

The next 48 hours are critical. If you decide to trade, don’t let your decisions be based solely on pattern recognition—use verifiable on-chain facts. If you choose to wait and see, take the time to understand the underlying infrastructure that builds transparency into the market.

Because in this market, what ultimately protects you is never intuition or luck, but verifiable, timestamped, cryptographically validated real data. That is the foundation of safety.
