The overnight trend showed a good increase. Bitcoin surged from around 86,200, gaining nearly 4,000 points, reaching a high of 90,363 before pulling back, now consolidating around 89,800. Ethereum followed closely, jumping from a low of 2,882 to a high of 3,030, currently fluctuating around 3,010.
Although this wave of surge was rapid and the upward momentum looks fierce, honestly, the overall market remains weak. During this early morning period, be more cautious—consider short positions when encountering high levels.
Specifically: $BTC can be shorted in the range of 90,000 to 95,000, with targets around 89,000; $ETH can be entered between 3,000 and 3,030, with a target near 2,950.
The key is whether this rally can hold steady; otherwise, there is a possibility of a downward move after the rebound.

The surge in the early morning feels a bit fake, it seems like it could crash at any moment.
---
I remain firmly bearish. This kind of weak rebound is the easiest to trap people.
---
Wait, if it can't hold steady, will it drop further? Should I sell now?
---
With US employment data so strong, why is the crypto price still so weak?
---
The bears have set up their trap, just waiting for the 90,000 mark.
---
The way ETH is closely following BTC feels off, I always get the feeling that BTC is just luring in more buyers.
---
I just want to know how many hours this rebound can last.
---
Those who traded in the early morning are tough, I think I'll go back to sleep.

Eating up the 4000-point space in one go, this surge was indeed fierce, but from the data, it still appears to be a rebound. We need to see if it can hold above 90,000 before drawing a conclusion.

This surge in the early morning was quite fierce, but I still think it won't hold steady. Don't be fooled into getting in.
This increase looks intense, but it's actually just a rebound, very dangerous.
Can the 90,000 level really hold? I have my doubts.
It's another US data hype, wake up everyone.
Has the 4,000-point space been eaten up? This drop is even more brutal.
I'm optimistic about the 89,000 breakdown, brothers.
There are many short-term killers, but I still prefer to be short.
If it can't hold steady, it will fall—simple logic.
This is probably a bait set for the bears.

This rush early in the morning is a bit hard to believe.
Is it another piece of good news from US data? After the rebound, it still has to drop again.
If 90,000 can't be broken, it feels like it's going down.

BTC needs to stay above 90000 to be meaningful;

That level at 90,000 still hasn't stabilized. No matter how fierce this rally gets, we still need to be cautious.

The rush this morning was too aggressive, feeling the vibe of false optimism. 89800 still requires caution.
---
The weakest rebound is the easiest to be cut off, I followed the short at high levels.
---
If you can't stand firm, you have to come down. This time is really different.
---
So what if US data is strong? The technicals have already made it clear.
---
Around 90000 is indeed the right place to set a short, and I'm also watching the 3030 double bottom.
---
That's right, buy the dip and go short, don't be fooled.
---
This surge looks fierce but is actually a trap.
---
Only after standing firm can you speak. Those calling for a rally are just waiting to sell.

Be cautious during this surge in the early morning; short positions at high levels are the way to go.
---
It's another false breakout. Looks fierce but is actually very fake. Just waiting to harvest the weak hands.
---
If the 89000 level can't hold, it's time to run. Don't be greedy.
---
BTC needs to stay above 90000 to be meaningful; otherwise, it's just a rebound trapping traders.
---
ETH is following the rally but lacks fundamental support; it will fall back sooner or later.
---
Good US employment data? Just a quick rally? The logic feels a bit forced.
---
The most dangerous rebound is during a weak market; everyone, be prepared to get caught.
---
This surge looks fierce, but overall it's still fake. Be cautious.
---
Are the bears well-positioned? It feels like an opportunity is coming.
---
If you can't hold steady, you must run. Don't wait for a breakdown.

This surge in the early morning is really fake; it will eventually pull back. It's a good opportunity for bears.
