Last Friday, Bitcoin surged to 88,600 before turning downward. This false breakout ultimately failed to continue. As the weekend approached, the price did not continue to test the lows; instead, it hovered back and forth within the narrow range of 87,200 to 87,800, appearing somewhat powerless.
Currently at 87,677, honestly, this price level is quite awkward — it doesn't look like a strong breakout, nor does it show any decisive decline. The 88,000 to 88,200 zone above has formed a solid resistance, while the 86,500 level below still offers some support. Both bulls and bears are just battling it out there.
Liquidity tends to be quite thin over the weekend, especially on Saturday afternoons, when the market often feels particularly dull. This sideways, non-volatile situation tests traders' patience the most. Major funds are likely to create some small fluctuations during European or US trading hours to wear down impatient retail investors.
Until a clear direction emerges, this corrective oscillation pattern is expected to continue in the short term. The key is whether the price can effectively break through the resistance above or if it will test the support levels downward.

Once again, this frustrating market situation. I knew that the move to 88600 was a false breakout... Now it's stuck at 87677, feeling worse than a decline.
The main players' tactics are old tricks. They take advantage of poor weekend liquidity to practice with retail investors, and once the US stock market opens, there should be some action.
Honestly, I'm a bit tired of this stagnant market. Just choose a direction early; holding back is the hardest part.

Here we go again, this sideways movement is really frustrating. The main players are just waiting for us to sell off.

88,600 to 87,677, this wave down, the main force is really fishing, retail investors' mentality has been worn down almost completely.

88600 can't be broken either, really hilarious. The main players just love to keep messing with retail investors' mentality like this.
