Market turning points often occur quietly at the most exhausting moments.
Recently, Bitcoin's performance this week has indeed been very dull—every rebound is ruthlessly suppressed, as if caught in a never-ending tug-of-war. But from the details on the chart, things might not be that simple.
Having experienced many cycles in the market over the years, I know that this kind of boring fluctuation can easily cause traders to overlook the real signals.
**Where is the key signal? Look at the trading volume**
Bitcoin has attempted to break through around $94,000 three times, each time failing. Many people feel frustrated and see this as a sign of strong resistance. But if you look closely at the data, you'll notice an intriguing phenomenon: the trading volume during these three attempts has been decreasing each time.
From a different perspective—this suggests that the selling pressure from bears is weakening. If the main funds were truly fleeing in large amounts, it would be accompanied by huge trading volumes. The current shrinking volume indicates that retail panic selling is at play, rather than institutional-level suppression.
**Technical watershed**
A recent wave of correction precisely stopped near the Fibonacci 0.5 retracement level (around $86,500). This line is well known to technical traders—it often marks the boundary between bull and bear markets. As long as this level holds, the basic structure of the upward trend remains intact, and the possibility of a rebound is quite high.
Of course, all analyses are just possibilities in the market; investment decisions still depend on your own research and judgment.

Three attempts with decreasing volume? Isn't this just the main force shaking out the weak hands? Retail investors are just scaring themselves again.
Wait, is the 86,500 level really that magical? It seems like it can be broken every time.
Volume doesn't lie, I agree with that, but we still need to see if it breaks the support level.

A breakout on low volume is the real show; retail investors panic, and we eat meat.

The key is shrinking trading volume. When retail investors panic and sell off, the volume can't be suppressed at all. This time is different.

Decreasing volume triple dip operation, it looks like the bears are a bit hesitant.

If 86,500 can hold... Hey, this game really isn't over yet.
---
It's Fibonacci again, and volume, sounding quite convincing, but I just want to ask—this time isn't a fake-out line, right?
---
Retail panic selling vs institutional suppression, sounds like just comforting oneself... but the data is indeed a bit interesting.
---
The tug-of-war has gone on so long I want to sleep. If you ask me, this is the most dangerous way.
---
I've looked at the details, but I trust the three zeros in my account more.

Failing three times at 94,000 is indeed a bit harsh, but why should there be a rebound this time... I feel it could get worse.

volume's been creeping lower on those 94k rejection attempts... that's the tell, not the price action itself. most traders sleep through this part
