After looking at the 15-minute candlestick chart, I tend to believe that the probability of a breakdown here is not that high. What's the key? As long as the price stays above 87,000, the upside profit potential for the bulls is quite limited.

Conversely, if the price continues to push higher, those traders who opened short positions at low levels—especially those using high leverage—are probably breaking out in cold sweat right now. If their orders are forcibly liquidated, the market will gain real room to move.

Only after the funds and positions are fully absorbed will the downward momentum and profit potential truly emerge. This is the strategic logic of the derivatives market.

Is it really that difficult to break the key level of 87000? Feels like just storytelling again --- Shorts need to be liquidated to release? Easy to say, but when will that happen? --- Dare to make such a judgment on the 15-minute chart, I don't believe you --- Let's wait until the funds are fully absorbed, right now it's all about speculation --- High leverage makes me sweat, but retail traders are still guessing --- I've heard this logic too many times, and it always ends with a reversal --- Real space for release? Feels like we're always waiting for this "real" moment --- If we can't hold 87000, there's no hope. Just break through quickly and stop hesitating --- Trading in the futures market is all about mentality, nothing else --- The idea of funds being absorbed feels like making excuses to delay

87,000 level is really holding tightly, the bears are definitely breaking out in a cold sweat now haha --- Honestly, those high-leverage traders are probably unable to sleep now --- If this wave gets forcibly liquidated, that will be the real moment of release --- Digesting the positions is the key now, it's still too early to talk about a decline --- If we can't hold above 87,000, the bulls are finished, it's that simple --- This is how the futures market works, whoever has higher blood pressure loses --- The moment the low-position short is blown up, that's the start of a big move --- Let's wait and see, only after the funds are fully released will the picture become clear --- The key is whether we can hold this price level --- Bears are definitely breaking out in a cold sweat now, a forced liquidation is imminent

Is the 87,000 level really that tough? It feels like every time someone yells "hold the line," but it still gets broken anyway. The group using high leverage definitely deserves to be wiped out so the market can breathe. Will this wave really crash after the funds are absorbed, or is it just another round of accumulation? Are the things seen on the 15-minute chart reliable? I feel like they're all after-the-fact armchair strategies. The game theory sounds nice, but honestly, it all comes down to who has more chips.

The 87,000 level is really holding strong. If the bears get wiped out, this rally will become interesting.
