One month of sideways trading, repeating the same routine every night—the daytime consolidation followed by a sudden spike at night. This rhythm has become the norm.

But tonight is different. The release of major economic data such as US Initial Jobless Claims and EIA Crude Oil Inventories is imminent, and the market is sensing a shift. From the current structure, selling pressure shows signs of exhaustion, while buying interest is quietly accumulating energy. These types of data often serve as triggers for market movements.

From a technical perspective, BTC can consider buying on dips within the 87,600-88,100 range, with a target around 91,500. If the data meets expectations, the catalysts will be in place. ETH and ZEC are also worth watching—they often follow through with upward moves driven by BTC.

The key still depends on how the data lands tonight and how quickly the market reacts.
