On the day of settlement, market sentiment was turbulent and intense, with many people frightened by short-term fluctuations. The experienced traders, however, had already noticed the clues— the OBV indicator on the 4-hour chart had quietly returned to the volume level corresponding to 96,000, while the price was still repeatedly hovering around 88,000. This is a classic case of volume-price divergence.

What does it mean? Simply put, trading volume starts to strengthen first, but the price hasn't caught up yet, like a suppressed feeling before a surge. Volume is the leader of price movement, and the early stabilization of OBV indicates that bottom-buying has quietly begun to accumulate. The current sluggish price action is more like the final shakeout by the main players—shaking out the indecisive retail investors.

From the daily chart perspective, the previous downtrend is gradually easing, and the moving average system shows signs of turning upward. The rebound window has already opened.

Based on practical experience, markets that recover from volume-price divergence often have significant explosive potential. The previously set target of 97,000 remains firm. As the Christmas hype fades and the New Year market is brewing, now is the best time to position. Don’t let these recent fluctuations hold you back.

Focus on the 88,000 support level. Once it is effectively defended or even confirmed to break downward, the rebound will be smooth. The key is not to follow the herd, keep the rhythm, ignore short-term noise, and you can steadily reap the benefits of the first wave of the New Year’s market.
