BTC has precisely tested the two key support levels at 95000 and 94000. From a normal rhythm perspective, after holding at 94000, it should trend upward to challenge 98000 and even 100000, but the current rebound strength is clearly weak, and it has not even been able to break through 96000.
The situation is very clear: if tonight to tomorrow it still cannot break through 96000, Bitcoin is very likely to enter a 4-hour correction trend. From the 1-hour chart, the market is continuously oscillating, and the trend is becoming unclear. Although liquidity is relatively poor over the weekend, the bulls should hold the range around 96000 for consolidation, rather than repeatedly tugging at 95000. The longer it stays at 95000, the more unfavorable it is for the bulls.
On the 15-minute level, a 5-minute central zone has already formed over the weekend, and the direction has not been finalized yet. Next, pay close attention to two signals: a breakout above 96000 could consider a long position on the right side, targeting around 98500 to 100000; if it falls below 94000, it is highly likely to retest 92000, initiating a new 4-hour downtrend.
On the Ethereum side, the short-term is relatively clearer, with signs of a 1-hour rebound already appearing. Breaking through 3030 will likely lead to a three-wave 15-minute rally within the 1-hour rebound. However, ETH ultimately depends on Bitcoin's performance. If Bitcoin successfully breaks above 96000 and surges upward, ETH will also have no problem pushing through the 3500 level; but if Bitcoin fails, ETH's rebound will also shrink, with 3200 and 3180 becoming the next defense lines.

The 96,000 level is really a bit of a hurdle; why can't the bulls push higher?
If we can't break through 96, we can only move downward. The weekend's low liquidity and this tug-of-war are really exhausting.
When Bitcoin moves, Ethereum follows; this feeling of being dragged down is a bit annoying.
Breaking through 96 is the key; without it, everything is pointless. See you at 92.
Ethereum 3030 needs to be broken for it to be interesting; otherwise, just wait for the shrinkage.
Feeling that this rebound is indeed weak; it doesn't have the same momentum as before.
If 94,000 can't hold, it will really drop; this level is very critical.
96000 is like a ceiling; it can’t be broken through, which is a bit concerning.

The 96,000 level is firmly stuck, feeling like the bulls are a bit weak...
---
Repetitive tug-of-war at 95,000 again, this rhythm feels off
---
If it breaks below 94,000, it will really need to retest 92,000, and that's when panic will set in
---
Bitcoin can't break through 96,000, Ethereum is following as a sacrificial lamb, weekend is really boring
---
Waiting to see if there's a statement tonight, otherwise just keep lying flat
---
The bulls have been fighting at 95,000 for so long, it feels like something's about to happen
---
Just keep an eye on 96,000, everything else is just floating clouds
---
Ethereum is still too passive, missing out on Bitcoin's gains
---
If the 92,000 support level also breaks, it will be really awkward
---
Weekend liquidity is poor, and this kind of market is easiest to deceive

The 96,000 level is really a barrier; the bulls are so weak, it's not interesting.

This level at 96,000 is too resistant to drops; it feels like the bulls are going to be worn out.
