The pattern of volume-price divergence is seen too often, and the rebound is limited... feels like we should keep waiting. --- If the support at 94396 breaks, the bears will start to cause trouble again. --- Will the bull army recover? MACD is still in negative territory, don't fool yourself. --- The KDJ death cross and increasing selling pressure indicate something's off with this rhythm. --- The range between 92 and 94 is a bit tempting, but I’m still observing. --- Is selling near 99 really stable? I still feel there are tricks in this wave. --- Volume-price divergence again... I really dislike this kind of uncertain market. --- The support levels are quite dense, prone to repeated shakes. --- The limited rebound of the bullish candle clearly indicates the issue. --- This node shows that the bulls are still too weak; continue to look for short opportunities.

Divergence between price and volume has returned. This routine always claims the bull army is recovering, but what’s the result? We still have to wait for a breakdown to be certain. --- I’ve looked at the support level @94396@, but it feels risky. If it breaks down, it’ll drop straight away. --- Another death cross and neutral to weak signals. Can these indicators give us a clear conclusion... --- MACD shortening ≠ reversal. Don’t be fooled, everyone. --- The selling pressure is heating up. Dare to chase the longs? I just don’t understand this logic. --- From @92000@ to @94396@, we’ve fallen into this range several times. Is it really effective? --- The limited rebound amplitude really hits the mark. With such little strength, you still expect a reversal? That’s hilarious. --- @97267@ and @96862@ look quite precise, but in reality? As soon as it breaks through, there’s no one left.

Divergence between price and volume is back again. Can it rebound this time? I’m not too convinced. --- Can the level above 92,000 really hold? Feels like the water is very deep. --- Is a shorter MACD enough to turn around? I think it’s doubtful. Let’s wait until a break below before saying anything. --- It’s the same support and resistance talk again. Last time, it was said the same way, and it was directly broken through. --- Still chasing longs despite increasing selling pressure? That’s really a bit刺激. --- Can we stop lying about that line at 94,396? Please. --- The death cross has already appeared, and you’re still talking about a rebound? Wake up. --- This rebound’s amplitude really can’t be sustained. Retail investors are about to be harvested again.

The divergence between price and volume is happening again. Every time, they say the bulls are recovering, but what's the result? It still depends on whether it can break 97267.

I'm tired of the divergence between price and volume; the key is whether we can hold the 94396 line. --- MACD is shortening and showing a death cross again... Honestly, I haven't decided on the direction yet. I'll wait and see. --- Is the 92 to 94 range really worth buying the dip? It feels like it needs to drop further before I can confidently jump in. --- Selling pressure is increasing, but the rebound is limited. Isn't this just testing the upper levels? --- Is the bullish force recovering? It still looks a bit weak to me... --- Can we really break through the 97k level? It seems like the previous attempts have failed. --- KDJ76, what does that count for? I can't trust this indicator anymore.

The classic story of price-volume divergence... Every time, they say the bulls will rebound, but what happens? Wait, the KDJ death cross is still neutral to weak? This logic is a bit confusing. Can 94396 really hold up? It feels like it's about to break again.

The old trick of divergence between price and volume again; it still depends on whether it can break 97,267, otherwise it's just a false alarm.
