Analysis on September 18, 2026
Negative news has been realized, but it was released in advance. The market will not drop immediately and quickly. It will continue with high-level sideways trading. It is expected that there will be two rate hikes this year… It is also expected that there will be one more rate hike in the next period. At higher levels, there is still a downward trend with pullbacks and declines.
On the day: After the news, the market outlook remains focused on range-bound trading within a broad band. We should mainly take short positions for the range. In the evening session, if no positive news is released, then after a likely push higher, we should also see a pullback and decline by the weekend. Today, we will trade using divergence shorts, with range-bound shorts as the main approach.
Resistance levels: 2530, 2630, 78500, 80800
Support levels: 2400, 2300, 74500, 73500

Bitcoin on the day: On the 30-minute chart, a push higher for divergence then short again. Do not chase long positions for the short term. Manual shorts at 77500 and 77600. Take profit at 76000, 75500, then take profit at 75000. Take profit at 75600 and 74300.
For the medium term: On the daily chart, the golden line is still a signal to keep bottom-fishing; you can consider going long.
