Good morning, Monday! A new week begins 🎉

The market has largely digested the Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations, turning positive signals into negative ones. Now, focus shifts to the Bank of Japan's moves on December 18–19. Yen carry trades face liquidation pressure, liquidity is shrinking, which puts short-term pressure on Bitcoin.

Weekend trading was generally narrow and choppy. On the 4-hour chart, although the volatility was significant, moving averages are still relatively low, and the price is near critical support and resistance levels. Looking at the 1-hour chart, Bollinger Bands are tightening gradually, the line at 89880 was quickly pulled back, and support levels are quite clear. The KDJ indicator is approaching 30, indicating a short-term rebound condition, and bullish momentum is dominant in the current upward trend.

As long as support holds, maintain a buy-the-dip strategy:

**BTC**: Go long in the 90000–89500 range, targeting 92500
**ETH**: Go long in the 3100–3170 range, targeting 3200

BTC-2,14%

ETH-3,22%

FHE41,56%

ICNT10,81%

Will the Bank of Japan's recent actions really determine the upcoming rhythm? It seems like everyone is waiting for the 19th. --- Turning good news into bad news is just a repeated cycle of cutting profits. Retail investors are still debating the support line. --- At 89,500, the support is clear. I bet five bucks it breaks with a single poke. --- It's another case of buying on dips. Where exactly is the dip, everyone? --- KDJ dropping to 30 and then rebounding? Wake up, brother. We've seen this routine a hundred times. --- I don't believe in ETH staying in this range. It looks like a pre-breakout consolidation. --- Still daring to enter the market with liquidity shrinking? You guys are really bold. --- Target of 92,500 is a bit optimistic. Supply pressure hasn't been digested yet. --- If the yen carry trade really blows up, it will be quite a show. --- Supporting levels are hard to establish if the support doesn't break in the first place.

The Bank of Japan's recent move really might cause some trouble; the unwind and liquidation are quite intense. Last time I heard similar comments, it seemed like they caused a wave of sell-offs. Do you believe it this time? If 89,500 can't hold, just go straight down; no more bottom fishing. ETH at this level doesn't seem very attractive... let's see if it drops a bit more.

From positive to negative, this trick is old news The Bank of Japan needs to keep a close eye on it; shrinking liquidity is the real killer If the support level isn't broken, keep going long, it's that simple Buy the dip at 89,500, betting it will rise to 92,500, it's not a dream ETH is about the same; just buy at the low and hold

Here comes "buying the dip" again. The last time I heard that, Bitcoin was still over 80,000. Haha

If the Bank of Japan doesn't cut this time, we'll have to wait and see... Wait, good news turns into bad news? This trick is old; anyway, it's all about shaking out the weak hands. I bought the dip at 89,500, just waiting to see if we can break through 92,500. If the support breaks, it's all over; it's a bit risky... I don't quite understand this wave of ETH; 3100 seems a bit expensive in the range? The yen carry trade is closing out, basically a prelude to dumping, need to stay alert. This market is really tough; all indicators suggest a rebound, but I just can't believe it.

Will the Japanese Central Bank's recent actions really save the market? It feels a bit uncertain... --- Back to the 89880 level again. Last time I said this, it broke below, haha. --- Good news being digested turns into bad news. We've seen this routine many times. --- First, let's see if the bullish streak can hold above 90K before making any judgments. --- ETH is still a bit stuck; it might be difficult to break through 3200 in the short term. --- Bullish advantage? I feel the pressure is still quite strong. --- The Bollinger Bands tightening and then rebounding—this logic might be a bit overdone. --- The yen carry trade pressure is actually worth paying attention to; it could really drag in the short term. --- I agree with the idea of buying on dips, but everyone needs to control the risks. --- The target of 92,500 is a bit greedy; let's first see if 87,000 can hold.

Whenever the Bank of Japan makes a move, we have to get beaten up too. I'm tired of this routine. --- It's either buying the dip or support levels; is the market always this chaotic? --- Can that 89500 level really hold? Feels like it's going to break at any moment. --- Wait, with such huge short covering pressure on the yen, could it crash? --- Is the bulls' advantage real? To me, it's all just oscillation and torment. --- 92500 is too greedy; better to preserve capital first, haha. --- When will the bullish streak finally come? By then, even the flowers will have withered. --- The Bollinger Bands tightening = a sign of distribution, right? Don’t fool me.

The routine of turning good news into bad news is getting old; let's see what the Bank of Japan will do next. Wait, will the yen carry trade liquidation really cause a plummet? Feels like they always say that each time. Is the 89,880 level really that stable? I feel like the support keeps breaking through. Can this wave of BTC rebound reach 92,500? To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical. ETH is only around 3100; it still feels a bit shaky. Is an explosion happening this week, everyone?
