📊 CRYPTO ON ALERT: BTC UNDER PRESSURE AND ZEC TESTS A DECISIVE ZONE
The crypto market is approaching Thursday’s U.S. data releases in a delicate position: BTC is trading near US$ 81 thousand, while ZEC has retreated to the US$ 1.090 area after a strong selling streak.
🔎 What do the charts show?
₿ Bitcoin (BTC): on the 1H and 4H charts, the price remains below the 21, 99, and 200 EMAs, keeping the short-term structure bearish. The US$ 80.200–80,000 area deserves attention as support; above that, US$ 81.800–82,000 and US$ 83.000 are significant resistance levels.
🟠 Zcash (ZEC): the asset has lost important support levels and is trading below the moving averages on the timeframes analyzed. The daily RSI near 39 indicates weakness, but on its own does not confirm a reversal. The US$ 1.070–1.060 area is decisive; for the structure to improve, any recovery needs to break above nearby resistance at US$ 1.100–1.130.
⚠️ Liquidations: CoinGlass dashboards show approximately US$ 1.52 million in BTC liquidations and US$ 976.61 thousand in ZEC over the displayed 4-hour period, with liquidated long positions predominating. This highlights pressure on leveraged buyers, but does not by itself predict the next move.
At 09:30, watch the U.S. releases:
• PPI and core PPI: inflationary pressure.
• Retail sales: consumer strength.
• Unemployment insurance claims: labor market conditions.
📈 Inflation data above expectations could put pressure on interest rates, the dollar, and risk assets. More favorable results could provide some relief — provided the reaction in yields confirms it.
🎯 Plan: watch the release, BTC’s reaction, and volume before looking for entries. Without confirmation, breakouts can turn into traps.
This is not about predicting every move, but about reacting to the flow, preserving capital, and demanding confirmation.
