Economic data dominates market trends, with clear divergence between bullish and bearish signals.

If the data exceeds expectations and the high-interest-rate environment persists, crypto assets will come under pressure. BTC seeks support around 89,000, while ETH tests the key level at 3,050 downward. At this point, two major risks should be watched: leveraged positions being liquidated causing a chain reaction of declines, and continuous outflows of ETF funds, which will significantly increase volatility.

Conversely, if the data is weaker than expected and rate cut expectations rise, risk assets may have a chance to breathe. BTC could rebound to the 91,800-92,000 range, and ETH might attempt to break above resistance at 3,140-3,180. But there's a trap—if trading volume doesn't pick up and ETF funds don't follow, be careful not to mistake a rebound for a reversal. When the market is choppy, timing is everything.

BTC-3,09%

ETH-3,47%

Will the 89,000 level really hold? Feels like we're going down again. --- The easiest time to get cut during a rebound, if the trading volume doesn't follow, it's just fake. --- It's better to stay flat before the economic data is released; there's no point in messing around. --- That wave of leverage liquidations can really scare people into a heart attack; you need to watch your positions carefully. --- Once the rate cut expectations heat up, we'll have a chance to breathe; it's too early to say now. --- ETF capital flow is the decisive factor; the data is actually secondary. --- Sense of rhythm is indeed important, but most people simply can't grasp it. --- Getting trapped again, mistaking a rebound for a reversal—I'm a living example. --- Is the 3050 level really that critical? Feels like it's breaking down even faster. --- How much longer will high interest rates last? I can't hold on much longer. --- Don't think about a reversal; this is just a choppy market. Make some profit from the fluctuations and then exit.

Before the data is released, this wave is truly a Schrödinger's market—both alive and dead at the same time. I don't believe the rebound without volume, lessons learned from those who have been through it. Once the economic data is out, the bottom is clear, and the 89,000 level is closely watched by the bears. Rebound traps are the most annoying; intuitively, I still prefer to continue dollar-cost averaging. The chain reaction of liquidations definitely needs to be guarded against, but don't scare yourself; just stay calm and analyze the data.

Let's wait for the data to come out; for now, it's all just guesses.

Another day where data rules, so annoying. BTC at 89,000 is as fragile as paper—one poke and it breaks. If ETFs start to run again, this market might just fall apart. A rebound? Ha, what about the volume? Don't get carried away.

It's all about economic data again. To put it nicely, it's about looking at the data; to be blunt, we're all passively taking hits. Wait, I'm too familiar with this rebound trap... If the volume isn't following, how can there be a reversal? Don't joke around. It's basically betting on the data. Even if the weak expectations lead to a rebound, I wouldn't dare to chase; the trading volume is the real boss. The chain reaction of liquidation makes sense; leveraged traders are probably going to get wiped out again this wave. If BTC breaks 3050, can it really hold up... Feels like one data point could cause everything to collapse.

89,000 this level again depends on economic data, so annoying. The phrase "sense of rhythm is the most important" is so true, otherwise a wave of rebound will get you trapped. --- I really don't dare to chase the rebound that ETF funds don't follow, it's easy to become a bagholder. --- The chain reaction of liquidation always makes me mentally prepared; high leverage is truly a double-edged sword. --- Instead of guessing interest rate cuts, it's better to wait for trading volume to speak; trading volume is the real truth. --- It feels like the 3050 line is about to break, just afraid that once it breaks, it will head straight to 3000. --- Every time people say that sense of rhythm is important, but when it comes to critical moments, it's still hard to be sure, everyone is the same. --- Good or bad data can be used as an excuse to dump, this market is really hopeless. --- People who think rebounds are reversals are probably now bottom-fishing and getting trapped; they've paid quite a tuition. --- That target of 91800 sounds comfortable but feels a bit uncertain; trading volume can't keep up, so it's pointless. --- As long as high interest rates persist for a day, we can't expect to breathe easy; Mr. BTC has to keep fighting hard.

It's the same old economic data set again, feels like every time we're just betting on whether the data will be good or bad, exhausting. Can 89,000 really hold? Feels a bit uncertain. A rebound is not a reversal; that hit home. How many people have fallen for this? Daring to claim a reversal without volume support? Wake up, everyone. Sense of rhythm is easy to talk about but hard to execute. If 3050 breaks, ETH will have to continue exploring lower levels. The most dangerous time is when ETF funds are flowing out, everyone knows that. Understanding the market is not as good as understanding risk management, really.

It's always economic data that determines the market, so annoying. Can't we have some new tricks? Wait, a rebound without volume support? This is the so-called false breakout in the neighborhood, a bunch of people getting caught. If 89,000 can't hold, BTC is doomed. I bet five cents.

Once again, everything is decided by economic data, and everyone is tired of hearing it. If the 89,000 level can't be broken, it's really panic. --- If 89K can't hold, a chain liquidation is coming. Anyone who dares to leverage will be unlucky. --- A rebound is not a reversal. How many times do I have to say this before some people get caught? It depends on the trading volume, brother. --- If interest rates don't come down, everything is pointless. BTC will have to continue to kneel. --- Trading volume is the key. I don't believe in a rebound without volume. --- Breaking 3050, ETH might start to recover again. This wave's rhythm is really crucial. --- Leverage in this kind of market is a nightmare. Really, don't touch it. --- Waiting to see the data. Good or bad data will determine whether tomorrow drops or rebounds. Exciting. --- Outflow of ETF funds is very serious. Institutions are quietly fleeing, probably. --- Whether 91,800 can be held depends on today's performance. I'm a bit hopeful.
