Bitcoin has been oscillating between $85,000 and $90,000 over the past two weeks. The emergence of this range has triggered an interesting technical phenomenon—the Bollinger Bands are narrowing. Looking at historical data, it can be seen that whenever this situation occurs, the market often experiences a period of intense volatility. After the same technical pattern appeared last year, BTC fluctuated significantly within the $100,000 to $126,000 range over the next three months. Will history repeat itself this time?

From a technical perspective, risk signals are already flashing. A break above the upper band could face overbought risks; if it falls below the middle band, a correction risk should be alert. No matter which direction it moves, the volatility could be quite fierce. The current question is not whether there will be volatility, but whether you are prepared to handle intense fluctuations.

Bollinger Bands narrowing—this phrase is heard every year, and every time they say it's going to explode. But what actually happens? --- It's either Bollinger Bands or history repeating itself. After listening to technical analysis for so many years, my wallet remains the most honest. --- Wait, how come no one mentioned where the wave from October to December last year, which reached 12.6K, is now? --- Sounds good, but actually no one knows whether it will go up or down. We've long been used to this as retail investors. --- Are you ready to respond? Brother, I don't even have the mindset prepared to get cut. --- At such times, I love reading comments like "I saw this coming a long time ago." Armchair strategists are just armchair strategists after all. --- The range is so clearly defined; why isn't anyone going all-in? Everyone's just researching here. --- Bollinger Bands narrowing = the market is gathering strength. Anyone can say this logic, but the key is the direction, my friend. --- I don't know if it's bullish or bearish, but I've already placed my stop-loss orders. It all depends on whether the price cooperates.

On the night before the Bollinger Bands narrow, history tends to repeat itself. Are you ready to lose money? --- Here we go again with last year's story. It would be good to hit 126,000 this time. Don't overthink it. --- The issue isn't volatility, the problem is where I set my stop-loss order... --- Even if things are grim, I have no money left anyway, just watch the show. --- Every time I say the risk signals are flashing, the price still surges upward. Is technical analysis really useful? --- Midline breaks down? Upper band breaks through? After saying so much, it still comes down to luck. I'm betting on a direction. --- Bollinger Bands, candlestick charts, various indicators—ultimately, I still lost to my own greed.

Is the Bollinger Bands narrowing again? Hopefully, this time it won't take three months to sort out.

Bollinger Bands start telling stories as soon as they narrow, just like last year, haha. Here we go again, every time claiming the risk signals are flashing, but isn't it the same as always? Repetitive grinding between 85,000 and 90,000, it's really annoying. When will we finally choose a direction? Will history repeat itself? I bet 5 USDT that it won't; the risk is always exaggerated. Ready? Anyway, there's no running away, let's see who admits defeat first.

The Bollinger Bands are starting to play this game again, I hate this feeling of stagnation. Is it coming again? The same old trick from last year, I bet it will repeat. Talking about risk signals, it's actually just waiting for a big bearish or bullish candle to drop. Ready, just waiting to be hit once. This volatility is fierce, my stop-loss orders are already in place.
