The macro environment is pretty subtle lately. The Fed’s expected December rate cut is still on the table, and the market is waiting for the dust to settle. Liquidity has improved somewhat—thanks to a large-scale debt buyback by the Treasury, and the QE program is wrapping up.



Ethereum just completed the Fusaka upgrade, which has improved network efficiency and lowered Layer 2 costs—a substantial positive. But if you look at the prediction markets, investor confidence in Bitcoin breaking $100,000 by year-end has already dropped from 60% to 24%, showing that sentiment is definitely cooling off. Globally, there are some mixed signals as well, like Japan’s government bond yields suddenly spiking and risk-off sentiment flaring up from time to time.

**Bitcoin’s Current Situation**

The key level to watch is 93,500. This price is both the yearly opening and the high that previous rebounds failed to hold. If it breaks through with volume this time, the weakness since mid-April could be over; if it keeps stalling here, it’ll likely keep oscillating between 90,000 and 93,500, or even test support at 90,000 again.

**Ethereum is Relatively Stable**

The technicals look much healthier. It’s held above $3,050, which has now become a support level. Next, let’s see if it can break through the 3,350–3,500 resistance zone. Of course, this recent strength is due to the upgrade and ETF inflows, but with such a rapid move up, be on guard for a short-term pullback risk.

**How to Trade**

Right now, Bitcoin is suited for range trading—buying low and selling high between 90,000 and 93,500. If it struggles near resistance, consider shorting; if it stabilizes near support, look for short-term long opportunities. For Ethereum, watch to see if it can break 3,350—if it does, keep an eye on further upside potential.

93500 is really an insurmountable hurdle, grinding here for so long is meaningless. --- The Fusaka upgrade is indeed appealing, but I'm worried that once Layer 2 costs go down, the hype will fade again. --- The market heat has clearly cooled down, and a 24% probability shows that the enthusiasm has really dissipated quite a bit. --- As long as Ethereum holds steady at 3050, things will be easier. Whether we can break through 3350 depends on the overall market. --- Range-bound volatility is the most torturous. "Sell high, buy low" sounds easy, but in practice, you really have to stay disciplined. --- When will the Fed's December shoe finally drop? That's the key issue; everything else is just a sideshow. --- Risk-aversion sentiment is starting to surface again. This rhythm feels a bit off. --- ETF funds coming in are supporting ETH, but hopefully it won't pump too fast—if it drops back down, retail investors could get hurt. --- I still feel like the 90,000 hurdle needs to be tested again. Whoever believes otherwise is going to lose.

We really need to break through the 93,500 mark, otherwise we'll just keep getting stuck here. If you can't make quick money, just reduce leverage and play it safe. The Fusaka upgrade is genuinely positive news, but the market sentiment is definitely cold right now. In the short term, it's better to be prudent and focus on small-scale trial and error. The expectation for $100,000 dropped from 60 to 24; that's a pretty scary figure. The macro environment is a real mess, so it's best to wait and see. The buy low, sell high strategy still works between 90,000 and 93,500, but don't get too greedy. For ETH, just wait for the key 3,350 level in this round.

93,500 is a critical level. If it breaks, there’s potential; if it grinds lower, it’ll keep fluctuating in the range. Ultimately, it still depends on the volume.

93500 is going to be a tough level to break again, just looking at it is annoying. --- Even after Fusaka's upgrade, Ethereum still needs to see if it can break 3350, otherwise it's just a fake out. --- Dropped from 60% to 24%, that confidence really collapsed fast. --- Going long on Bitcoin now is pure gambling, just grinding back and forth around 90,000. --- Ethereum pumped too hard in the short term, a correction is definitely coming, be careful not to get stuck. --- The Fed hasn't even cut rates yet, and the market is already partying, hilarious. --- The prediction market data says it all, retail sentiment has already blown up. --- If 3050 holds, there's hope, but 3350 is a really tough hurdle. --- Liquidity improvement? I haven't felt it at all, still just as hard to make money. --- If Bitcoin can't break 93500, we might have to wait until next year. --- The Ethereum ETF inflows are a shot in the arm, but no telling how long that'll last. --- Now that QE is ending, people are even more anxious, the lack of a safety net feels the worst. --- That move with Japanese government bonds brought risk sentiment right back, it's just absurd.

It's the same old routine at the end of the year: rate cut expectations, liquidity, risk-off sentiment... Sounds nice, but honestly, everyone's just waiting for the wind to blow. If 93500 can't be broken, we'll just have to keep grinding sideways—boring. Ethereum's upgrade this time is actually something, but it's pumped way too fast. Be careful not to be the last one holding the bag. "Stable"? Heh, even the prediction markets are starting to doubt Bitcoin, so where's the stability? Buying low and selling high sounds easy, but it's hard to pull off. I'll just wait for the dust to settle. I just want to know—will this move in Japanese bond yields really crash the market? Let's talk again after ETH breaks 3350. It's too early to get in now. Bitcoin sentiment is this bad—are we really going to test 90,000 on the downside? ETFs entering the market sounds great, but you have to be able to handle the risk. Basically, it's all a bet on the Fed's move—everything comes down to December.
