1️⃣ Wyckoff perspective
The past 48 4H candles have gone through a complete accumulation → markup cycle:
• The $62,716-$64,048 range completed PS (initial support) and SC (panic selling)
• Then moved into AR (automatic rebound) → ST (secondary test), repeatedly building a base
• The big bullish candle with high volume at 08:00 last night (volume: 11,048 BTC, rise: +3.02%) is a typical BC (breakout) signal
• We are currently in the Markup phase, but the latest 4H volume has sharply dropped to 932 (only 16% of average volume)—be cautious
💡 Key takeaway: If future 4H candles increase in volume and hold above $72,490, the Markup trend may continue; if volume fades and price falls back below $70,000, it could enter a short-term UTAD trap
2️⃣ 2B rule assessment
• After BTC formed a valid swing high at $70,000, the price surged as high as $72,490
• The current close at $71,794 is still above $70,000, so a 2B bearish trap has not been confirmed
• ⚡ However, if the 4H closes below $69,800 (the prior swing high pullback level), then the 2B short signal is confirmed
• ETH is stronger: the $2,333 high has not yet been reclaimed—so the 2B signal is not valid
3️⃣ Dow theory
• BTC rebounded from the $64,482 low to $72,490, forming a higher high (HH) and a higher low (HL)
• The uptrend structure is intact, and $69,800 is a key HL support
• ETH rebounded from $1,877 to $2,333; the gain is 24.5%, making the Dow primary impulse signal stronger
• ⚠️ Note: If ETH’s drop from $2,333 to $2,277 continues and breaks below $2,251, then the HH would be invalidated
🛡️ Trading strategy
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
BTC:
• Longs: Lightly enter longs in the $70,000-$71,000 range; stop-loss at $69,700
• If it breaks $72,490 on rising volume, chase longs; targets $74,000-$76,000
• Shorts waiting: A 4H close below $69,800 or the appearance of a 2B trap pattern
ETH:
• Primarily buy on dips; $2,250-$2,270 is the support zone
• Stop-loss $2,220; targets $2,350-$2,400
• ETH/BTC continues to strengthen—clear preference for risk-on capital
