Market overview
The 4-hour trend of BTC once broke through $67,000, showing a standard upward flag formation. However, it later fell below $64,000 after oscillating narrowly for a time between $66,000-$67,000. On a daily level, BTC continues its overall wide fluctuation trend and is expected to usher in the main rising wave after the oscillation ends. From technical analysis, May 8th may be a turning point. It is suggested to position at lower levels as much as possible given the premise that it does not break the previous low of $59,600.
