On the morning of January 15th, Bitcoin entered a high-level consolidation phase around 97,000 yuan. This rally has been quite fierce; from the 4-hour chart, the price has been climbing along the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. Although there have been a few bearish candles retracing, each time the price was quickly pulled back, indicating strong buying momentum.
From a technical perspective, the Bollinger Bands remain in an upward trend, with a well-structured moving average alignment, indicating a classic bullish pattern. The momentum indicator is also still in the positive zone, suggesting a strong overall trend. However, there's a detail worth noting—after consecutive days of gains, the upward energy appears to be waning, and the risk of short-term chasing increases. Therefore, it’s not recommended to be too aggressive in operations, as it could lead to being caught in a trap.
Today's strategy suggestion is: don't rush to chase the highs; instead, wait for a pullback opportunity. Both bulls and bears have some chances, and it all depends on how you grasp the rhythm.
Specific suggestions: • If the price falls back to the 95,000 to 94,000 range, consider entering long positions • If it rebounds to around 98,000 to 99,000, consider participating in short positions

The Bollinger upper band has been running along continuously for so many days, and the chip distribution should have already raised warnings. To put it simply, funds are gradually offloading at high levels, while retail investors are still chasing the rally...

97,000 is still experiencing high-level oscillations; this wave is really a bit exhausting. Although the buyers can still hold up, declining momentum is not a small issue...
Waiting for a pullback before entering, what's the rush? Anyway, the coin is right there.
It feels like only warriors are buying now; I'll just lie back and watch the show.
The upper Bollinger Band has climbed to this level, making shorting opportunities even clearer? I'm actually eyeing the 98,000-99,000 range.
By the way, this rally has been quite fierce, but in this world, there's no such thing as only rising and never falling... Recognizing this early can help improve your mindset.

97,000 is still oscillating at a high level. I've seen the deceleration of momentum coming a long time ago. chasing highs really makes it easy to get trapped

The signal of momentum decay at the 97,000 level really can't hold anymore. Waiting for a pullback is the wise move; don't fall for the tricks.

97,000 is fluctuating again. Where's the break of 100? Can it really go up this time?

97,000 is going to fall again, right? It always happens like this. Those who chase the high are all newbies.

97,000 here is a bit risky, chasing the high is really easy to get burned, I'll wait for a pullback to talk about it.

Is it still bullish at 97,000? It looks more like a top to me. The term "diminishing momentum" makes me a bit nervous. I'll wait until around 95,000 to get in.

Still want to chase after 97,000? Buddy, the momentum has diminished so clearly, can't you see? Waiting for a pullback is the real deal.

I didn't dare to chase the 97,000, and now I feel a bit regretful watching it rise, but I'm also afraid of catching a falling knife. This mindset is really incredible.
