It is quite interesting to observe Bitcoin's recent movement. This morning, a long upper shadow candlestick pattern appeared, forming a small double top around 8.8. The current question is whether it can complete a W bottom near 8.65 and initiate a 1:1 rebound, or if it will continue to bounce back and forth within the 8.8 to 8.65 range.
Honestly, the large options expiration today and the resulting bearish signals may not actually be bearish. The news that everyone can see is often not the real factor that changes the situation—only the market will give the most honest answer.
Yesterday, I opened a short at 8.8 targeting 8.66, and it rebounded after dipping to 8.68, still 200 points away from the target. Such a market movement is a good opportunity to take profits and leave. The area around 8.8 still shows strong resistance, so I have also placed a short position here with a stop-loss at 8.94, targeting around 8.65. Meanwhile, I have a long position at the low of 8.65 with a stop-loss at 8.5, aiming for a return to around 8.8. Let's see how the market chooses its direction next.

8.8 is really a brutal pressure. I’m impressed by your two-pronged ambush strategy. I just worry about getting caught in the middle and being blown up from both ends.

The 8.8 resistance level is indeed a bit tough. Running after 200 points is a more prudent approach, much smarter than those who stubbornly hold on.

the double top at 8.8 screams mean reversion but ngl... the trapped longs at 8.65 might just be the real liquidity grab here. classic orderbook reading 101 that most retail completely miss tbh

Still crouching at 8.8, waiting for that moment to break. If 8.65 can really hold, it would be interesting.

Can that W bottom at 8.65 really play out? It still seems to depend on whether it can break below the 8.68 low to be valid.
