Bitcoin has finally broken free from the 21-day consolidation range. After surpassing the 90253 level on the hourly chart, this asset has shown new vitality. The opportunity to chase longs on the right side has appeared, but tight stop-losses are essential—this is an iron law.

The current situation warrants careful analysis. The 89999 level briefly broke down with increased volume but failed to recover, indicating that the bears still have strength. You can chase short positions at this level, but don’t forget to set stops. Throughout this process, changes in volume are an important reference—don’t focus solely on the price.

A false breakdown occurred around 89000 during the pullback, so you can add a long position here. The real risk lies in breaking below 88061; if it cannot recover, don’t be greedy and continue to go long.

From the hourly chart, Bitcoin only has confirmation of further upward movement after stabilizing above 90279. Targets can be set at 90922 and then 91591. These are key resistance levels supported by volume.

Short sellers shouldn’t be idle either. Be cautious of a 2B false breakout trap at the 91591 level. If it occurs, you can short once, with a stop-loss above 92786. This is a classic reversal trap setup.

For more conservative trading: buy at 87517, and exit if it falls below 86786. This provides ample room for maneuver.

The most critical aspect is this expanding trumpet pattern. As long as Bitcoin can operate near the upper boundary of the pattern, staying above 90338 is only a matter of time. Once it stabilizes here, the previous high at 90929 will naturally be broken, and then it can continue towards 91477.

However, if the upper boundary of the pattern cannot hold and the price falls below 89728, re-entering the trumpet’s interior, then be prepared to revisit the 89079 level. Remember one thing: as long as it doesn’t fall below 88023, the bullish trend remains intact.

The current strategy is quite clear: if Bitcoin can stay above 90,000 and consolidate, it’s not a rebound but a sign of a reversal. Don’t rush to short just because of the rise; focus on long opportunities during pullbacks.
