Brothers, look at the market. After the non-farm payrolls last night, BTC surged to 87,239, then fell all the way back to 84,830, down 0.54% in 24 hours. This roller coaster taught a lesson to both the bulls chasing highs and the bears chasing shorts. From a technical perspective, bulls and bears are at a stalemate. The 1-hour MACD shows a golden cross below the zero line, with an energy bar at 78.6, indicating that the short-term bearish momentum from the recent dump has exhausted, and there is capital supporting the price. But the SuperTrend at 85,421 is pressing overhead, and the price is trading below it, so the short-term remains under pressure. The Bollinger middle band around 84,551 is currently the dividing line between bulls and bears. RSI6 has surged to 69.85, showing the short-term rebound is a bit overheated, so chasing longs risks being hit by a pullback. On the macro side, the cooling non-farm data lowered the probability of a rate hike in October, but long-term US Treasury yields remain above 5.3%, exerting pressure. Under this macro suppression, BTC finds it hard to make a sharp one-sided rally. For operations, Lao Mo gives straightforward advice: For those with positions, set stop loss below 83,800 and hold steady to watch 85,400. For those without positions, don’t heavily bet at the indecisive 84,800 level. Either wait for a pullback to 84,000-84,300 to stabilize and buy with stop loss at 83,500; or wait for a volume breakout above 85,500 to chase from the right side. In this low-volume tug-of-war, controlling your hands is better than anything. Before the direction emerges, preserving capital is the priority. What do you think about this tug-of-war?
