January 17 Market Snapshot: Bitcoin has been oscillating on the 4-hour chart. From the market perspective, this is not a crash but a typical technical adjustment—long lower shadows one after another, indicating that the buying pressure in the 94,500 to 95,000 range is still quite strong.
To put it simply, the current pullback is just a routine correction. As long as it doesn't break below 94,500, the upward framework remains intact. What does this wave of correction mean? It’s a buildup. The market is stepping back to prepare for two steps forward.
Focus on these two key levels—above 95,800 is resistance, below 94,500 is the bottom line. If we can hold above 94,500, then the outlook remains bullish; if 95,800 hits a wall and bounces back, don’t rush—short-term shorting opportunities might arise.
Currently, the market is still brewing; until a clear direction emerges, look for signals that support a stable stance within the support zone. If it drops, have the confidence to set up long positions, but wait for confirmation. Remember—before a breakout, a pullback is always a good opportunity to add to your positions on dips. Don’t be scared off by short-term volatility.

If I can't break through the 94,500 barrier, I'll just keep lying flat and earning interest.

It's another momentum-building phase. The 94500 level really needs to hold, or else my mindset will be shattered again. I understand the principle of adding positions on dips, but I'm just worried about running out of bullets... Rebirth comes at a cost [laugh-cry].

94500 Break or not is a big deal; if it breaks, we have to accept it.
---
With so many lower shadows, it shows someone is catching flying knives below, quite interesting.
---
Recharging and correcting at the same time, still need to wait for a confirmation signal.
---
Short-term fluctuations are scary, but those who hold long-term are making a lot of money.
---
I've tried several times at 95800; can it break this time?
---
I have the courage to buy more on dips, but I don't have enough money.
---
Fiddling around on the 4-hour chart is pointless; it's clearer to look at the daily chart.
---
As long as we hold 94500, it will continue to rise. I don't believe you.
---
High-altitude opportunity? Just wait and see, don't rush into short positions.
---
I've heard the technical adjustments ten times, but in the end, it still suddenly crashes down.

As long as 94,500 isn't broken, there's still hope. This move is just a shakeout.
A drop is actually an opportunity; don't be scared out.
Now the lower shadows are appearing one after another, clearly someone is accumulating.
Breaking below 95,800 could really signal a high-altitude correction, so stay alert.
The accumulation phase is the most annoying, but also the easiest to make money.
Before a breakdown, buy on dips; that's how I play it.
