BTC's short-term direction is super tricky right now because the current market signals are conflicting—it's at a critical crossroads. Even though it just broke past the $69,000 mark, the overall trend remains unclear. The market is currently in a 'weak upward momentum but supported below' stalemate, lacking a clear direction. Keep an eye on two key signals: first, whether the price can firmly hold above $70,000; second, whether the selling pressure from long-term holders eases. Taking profits on this wave for now—waiting for the trend to become clearer before jumping back in.
