Market Structure and Short-term Trends
Currently, it is moving towards:
"Technical rebound after a sharp drop → Approaching resistance → Diminishing momentum → Entering top consolidation"
The 1H chart clearly shows an M top / double top prototype:
The first top is around 3050
During the second rebound touching the top, both RSI/MACD did not synchronize to create new highs
This belongs to a structure where the rebound cannot go higher → Weakening.
If it continues to grind the top in the 3030–3050 range, it is expected to see:
1) Inducing a rally → Retracement pin
2) Breaking below 3000 → Accelerated pullback to 2950
Especially when the volume is clearly exhausted, this kind of sideways movement usually indicates not a build-up for an upward attack, but rather:
"Weakness in pushing higher, waiting for bad news to continue the drop"
Four, Operational Suggestions
Short-term
Do not chase long positions near 3050, this is clearly a major resistance area.
If it again pushes to the 3050-3080 area, it can be considered as a layout point for a short position on the rebound.
Short position stop loss: above 3125
Targets below:
First target: 3000
Second target: 2950
Accelerated target: 2890–2873
Bullish
Only a valid breakthrough above 3130 with increased volume can change the current weak structure.
Do not recommend entering longs before breaking out.
