European and American institutions are gradually resuming work, and liquidity in the crypto market has clearly improved. Bitcoin surged directly to a high of 90,930 in the early hours yesterday, then pulled back slightly, currently oscillating around the 90,000 level; Ethereum's performance has been even more aggressive, breaking through the 3,050 resistance that has been sideways for half a month, reaching a high of 3,150 at one point, now stabilizing in the 3,100-3,150 range.

Why is there a rebound? It's not hard to understand—during the Christmas and New Year holidays, the liquidity benefits from the Federal Reserve hadn't fully transmitted to the market, that's one reason. Secondly, Bitcoin and Ethereum have been sideways at low levels for too long over the past two months, and market panic has mostly been digested. When institutions come back and buy a little, prices jump accordingly.

From a technical perspective, both assets are facing short-term correction pressures. Key support levels for Bitcoin are at 89,000 and 88,500, with a significant resistance at 91,000; Ethereum needs to be closely watched to see if it can hold above 3,050-3,000, with clear upward resistance at 3,150, and a strong resistance zone at 3,200-3,250.

Particularly note: today is Saturday, and weekend volatility is usually limited, most likely following a correction and recovery pattern. Another important point—this is just a rebound, not a reversal. Even if Ethereum finally breaks through the strong resistance and reaches 3,200 or even 3,300, it will ultimately fall back again. Don't be fooled by the short-term rally.

BTC-2.33%

ETH-3.38%

Institutions are returning, liquidity is warming up, but don't get too excited about this rebound just yet A rebound is not a reversal, and that's correct. The weekend is just a correction phase, don't become numb to short-term gains How to say, the 90000 level is indeed a bit hot, and 3150 also presents some pressure. Still, it depends on whether we can hold steady Wait, has the positive news from the Federal Reserve not fully transmitted to the market yet? Why does it feel like we're always waiting for the transmission, is it real or虚虚虚 The sideways movement over the past two months has indeed been quite dull. Once the panic is digested, a rebound should follow, which makes logical sense If the 89000 level breaks, we might have to go back to 88500. Do we really have to be so harsh? Forget it, let's follow the established rhythm. In the short term, watch for resistance; in the medium term, look for support. Don't let the rally blind you

Institutions are so aggressive right after resuming work, and we still have to watch the market over the weekend. ETH's recent surge is indeed a bit fierce, but to be honest, it's just a rebound, don't overthink it. It's the same old story; it will eventually pull back. I believe it. If 3200 really breaks, I'll eat shit. Wait, has liquidity truly recovered? Or are they just going to cut our leeks again?

The institutional resumption of work is just this much activity, really desperate. It's the same old story of rebound rather than reversal, I'm tired of hearing it. Weekend should be for relaxing, no more fussing. If 90,000 can't be broken, it's just a false breakout. Ethereum at 3150 feels like a trap, I really don't dare to chase. Let's wait and see, can this wave hold until next week?

Is this all the news from institutions resuming work? Feels a bit hollow, let's wait until real big funds enter the market before judging. Don't just look at the bullish trend; it's good enough if this weekend's rebound can hold above 89,000. Ethereum lost momentum after breaking 3,150; it feels like a trap to lure more buyers. Every time they say the rebound isn't a reversal, I want to laugh... Anyway, let's hold our coins and wait for opportunities. This wave of rally isn't as fierce as expected; liquidity is indeed warming up, but trading volume can't keep up.

Institutions start pumping as soon as they resume work, I’m too familiar with this trick, don’t celebrate too early Wait, can it really break 3200? Feels like another false move Weekend volatility, I bet it will fall back to around 3050 A rebound is not a reversal. Well said, I just worry the retail investors will go all in again Once the 89,000 support level is broken, Bitcoin will be in danger Ethereum’s recent surge is a bit aggressive, but I still don’t dare to chase high The buying power from institutions returning from holiday is a bit disappointing

Oh wow, as soon as the institutions come back, they start bleeding the market. I knew it. Wait, can there still be such volatility over the weekend? I thought I could sleep peacefully. The rebound, the rebound, it's making my ears calloused. Just call me when it's really turning around. That 3200 level feels harder to break than I imagined. They're starting to talk about technical support again, sounding nice but ultimately it's all about the money flow. Institutional resumption of work = retail investors taking the hit. This rule is truly unchanging. Wake up, everyone. A rebound ≠ a reversal. There's nothing wrong with that statement; it all depends on who can resist chasing the high.

ngl this bounce reeks of institutional fomo... they literally just got back from holidays and suddenly we're pumping? read between the lines, that's desperation flow not conviction. don't get caught holding the bag when the correction hits.
