There are no free wins in the crypto world, only wins that come from waiting! When the direction is unclear, keeping your hands steady is more skillful than aggressive operations!
Currently, it is a "stuck market", with a ceiling above and a floor below, tightly held at 4420 USD, as if glued with 502 glue!
Technical aspect: Indicators are collectively "lying flat", but there are hidden secrets.
First, focus on the key level and fight hard:
Surging up: 4480 USD is the "high-pressure line"; every time it touches here, it feels like hitting a wall. Why? Because all the trapped positions are waiting to break even here, combined with short-term profit-takers wanting to exit, the pressure is immense!
Dropping down: 4300 USD is the "lifeline"; if it falls here, there will be funds to support it. Why? This may be the main cost area for the main players, or the "psychological price level" recognized by the market; breaking through easily could trigger a stampede.
Next, look at the indicator signals, Brother Long highlights:
RSI: The short-term values are 22, 33, 41, all fluctuating in the "oversold zone"; especially the number 22, indicating that the short-term drop is quite severe, and the selling power is almost exhausted. Is it time to bottom fish? Don't rush! Oversold does not equal immediate rise; it may just be "unable to drop further", but a rise requires a "catalyst".
MACD: The fast and slow lines are twisted together, and the bars are as short as toothpicks; Brother Long has seen this signal many times—there's no trend in the short term, and bulls and bears are "competing in patience"! Chasing after rises or falls at this time can easily backfire.
Trading volume: Estimated volume is not small, but the actual volume is only 240,000, indicating that funds are "playing dead"—big players are inactive, retail investors are panicking, either waiting for a breakout signal or fearing to become cannon fodder. Remember: Breakouts without volume are all "playing tricks"!

Brother Long's view: Today is all about "waiting for the wind to come", don't be the "pioneer".
The market feels like a pot of warm water, making people uncomfortable. Brother Long dares to say: There's a 90% probability of continuing to dawdle today, "drawing an ECG" around 4420! Why?
Upward breakout: Unless Bitcoin leads the charge, or institutions suddenly come in to sweep the market, and the trading volume must explode; otherwise, the hurdle of 4480 cannot be overcome.
Downward break: Either a sudden negative surprise or too long of a sideways movement eroding the bulls' confidence. Once it breaks below 4300 with volume, it could quickly head towards 4200 or even lower; short-term traders need to run fast.
Practical strategy: Keep your hands steady! Only act when the key level breaks.
Brother Long gives the brothers 3 "lifelines":
Focus on 3 prices: 4420, 4480, 4300. Whichever side breaks, the short-term direction will lean that way!
Light position trial orders with stop loss: Want to bottom fish? Wait until 4300 holds; play with a small position, set stop loss at 4280, and aim for 4400-4450. Want to chase the rise? Must wait for 4480 to stabilize + increased volume, otherwise it’s all about "catching flying knives".
The news is the "switch": 70% of the crypto market relies on sentiment, and 30% on funds. Today, focus on: Bitcoin's movements, Ethereum upgrade news, and US stock correlations. A single heavy news piece could ignite the market instantly!
To put it bluntly: Opportunities in the crypto world are "waited" for, not "gambled" for. Right now is the stage of "let the bullets fly for a while"; when the direction is unclear, sipping tea and watching the drama shows more skill than making aggressive moves.
