The key moment for Bitcoin's weekend close has arrived. From 87,600 yesterday afternoon to 87,780 now, BTC has shown a pattern of shrinking volume and slow gains over the past 24 hours—neither hot nor cold, but steadily approaching the core resistance at 88,000.



This upward movement is actually quite subtle. Looking closely at the chart, the increase in price hasn't been accompanied by significant trading volume, which seems more like retail investors pushing the price or bears deliberately retreating, waiting to dump again at higher levels like 88,500. The bulls are testing the bears' willingness to defend, and both sides are probing each other.

The weekly close is just around the corner (8 a.m. tomorrow), and this timing looks very telling. If the main force can push the price back above 88,000, the shadow of last week's "false breakout" can be cleared, and the probability of opening next week with a bullish trend increases significantly. Conversely, if the price falls back again at the 88,000 level, it would confirm suspicions of a "trap to lure buyers," and a deeper correction could follow.

From a portfolio perspective, 80% of funds are allocated to mainstream coins like BTC and ETH for stability, while the remaining 20% are used to gamble on some promising altcoins. This balanced attack-defense strategy remains a practical approach in the current market environment.

Trying to test the short sellers' defense again. This routine has to be played every week. Theoretically, it should work, but in practice, it's just a big trap for contracts.

Is it really that difficult to break through 88,000? It feels like the bears have been holding it day after day.

88000 is stuck again. Can we really break through this time? Feels like a psychological game.

Slow volume increase with a gentle rise, feels like the main force is fishing.
