Current price: 79,931; up 3.76% in the past 24 hours. Low: 62,300. High: 81,273. Who can hold this kind of range?
MA5 is at 78,416. Price is riding just above MA5, while MA20 is down at 68,319 as support. MACD is bullish—looks strong. But the volume ratio is only 0.8; there’s no breakout in volume. RSI 90.1 is overbought. Pulling this high on reduced volume makes my palms sweat.
The upper Bollinger band at 80,769 is overhead, and 81,273 is the previous high—two layers of resistance stacked together. The 15-minute RSI has dropped to 34.2, and the 1-hour MACD has flipped bearish. In the bigger cycle there’s frenzy, but in the smaller cycle the momentum is dying out—this kind of divergence I’ve seen way too many times.
If it holds above 81,273 and breaks through the previous high with volume, I’ll chase. If it pulls back near 78,416 without breaking, I’ll go long—stop loss at 77,500, and my initial target is 81,273. If it drops below 80,000, I’ll wait and see whether 78,416 can hold. If 78,416 breaks, and once MA5 is violated, short-term long positions will likely get stopped out in clusters. This top-chase move is probably ending here—I won’t mess with it.
Of course, I could be wrong. RSI 90 might still push higher, and I’ve seen plenty of cases like this over the years: price rising on low volume.
Last time, I chased a divergence at the peak—and ended up on guard duty for three days.
Today BNB surged to 719.18. He chased a buy. But he didn’t stand his ground. The price got smashed all the way down to 692.94. Someone in the group asked him: Are you okay? He said: Doesn’t matter. I glanced at the cost price on his phone. It’s basically the day’s high. Now the price has gone back to 712.72. He’s still at a loss. Then he started muttering again: It’ll be back soon.
I didn’t say anything. The cruelest thing in the crypto world isn’t letting you lose money. It’s making you lose everything and still have to act calm. Act calm for your wife. Act calm for your friends. Act calm for your group members. Act so convincingly that you even end up believing it yourself.
In the afternoon session I was so sleepy my eyelids were fighting—SOL on the other hand did perk things up—101.26, up 7.5%, with 568 million USDT; the money is all stacked, waiting for it to push toward 102.77.
If I were the one holding a large batch of SOL chips, with my cost below the MA20 at 97.4.
Now the floating profit is nearly 4%, and volume is only 0.3 times the average—this suggests selling pressure isn’t heavy.
MA5 is also sitting right against the current price, 101.2.
RSI is 74.2, in the overbought zone.
The MACD bulls are still there, with DIF = 1.67.
My next move is to take a bit of position to try to break 102.77, letting those who chase the breakout come in and do the picking up.
Support is at 91.6 to 91.8, a previously concentrated trading area. Only if it breaks there counts as the setup turning bad.
I plan to pull back near 97.4 to pick up a little, set a stop-loss below 91.7, and the target is 102.7 to reduce exposure.
It’s breaking into the overbought area on low volume—the chase buys are taking the main force’s unloaded inventory.
Don’t take this as advice—I’m also testing with real money.
I missed that spike in buying volume and the bull pull at dawn.
It wasn’t that I didn’t see it—just that the 80,000 integer level hesitated for a moment, and then it pierced straight through all the way to the 81,273 prior high before stopping. The 4-hour volume is 1.8x, RSI is 68.3, and price is riding just below the upper Bollinger Band—this isn’t just a news-driven tape; it’s real buyers putting up real money.
ETH is weaker. Over the past 24 hours it’s only up 2.46%, volume ratio is 0.9, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate at 0.030991 is still slipping lower. This indicates that money is only flowing into BTC and not into altcoins. If you want to go long alts, you’ll need to wait for the exchange rate to stop falling first.
Back to BTC. Even though MACD is still bearish, the price has already broken above MA5 and MA20, and the moving averages have started to diverge upward. At this point, I trust the volume-price alignment: volume-driven upswings—selling pressure gets eaten—so the short-term bulls are in control.
My plan: once it breaks 81,273 and holds, I’ll chase. Stop loss at 80,000. I’ll reduce the position and look toward the 84,094 upper Bollinger Band. Position size is 30%. If I’m wrong, I can admit it—but if I go all-in and refuse to trim, there’s no saving it even with “immortals.”
With ETH/BTC this weak, I won’t touch it. That top at 81,273 decides whether this move is a true reversal or just a rebound.
24-hour amplitude is 8.8%, but the volume ratio is only 0.4. It’s up 2.71%, yet the volume is shrinking as it rises.
RSI is 60.5—not overbought, but the momentum isn’t that strong. MACD is still in the bearish zone, and it’s a bit out of sync with the price. Price is 2,496, inching upward while hugging MA5 at 2,486; MA20 is at 2,453 holding it up, and MA50 is far away at 2,234.
The key to the whole move is just one level: 2,533. That’s the first hurdle below the 24-hour high of 2,547, and it’s also the concentrated trading area from the past few days. If you want to push higher, you must increase volume and absorb the trapped-share zone from 2,533 to 2,547. If it creeps up on low volume, it’s very likely a fake breakout.
My own plan is simple. If it stands above 2,533 on increased volume, I’ll enter at 2,535. My stop-loss will be set below 2,486. First target: sell down at 2,547; the rest will look toward the upper Bollinger Band at 2,680. If it’s still low volume, I won’t even reach for the trade. For support, I’ll watch 1,886–1,892, the dense area where the move starts. If it breaks, then we’ll talk about what breaks.
Anyway, I’m using volume as the entry ticket—no volume, no fooling myself.
Everyone is waiting for a pullback to buy at 96. In the end, SOL printed a single surge green candle on heavy volume, pushing up to 100.35—up 5.84%.
The shorts are still holding on.
MA5=98.16, MA20=96.04; the moving averages are underneath your feet, with a bullish alignment.
MACD DIF=1.0475; bullish momentum is strong.
The Bollinger Bands are hugging the upper band, with a band width of 6.8%—a one-way move.
RSI 77.3 is overbought; chasing longs makes hands shake.
Volume is 2.6 times the 20-day average; rally on expanding volume—money really has entered.
101.99 is the 24-hour high, the toughest resistance. If it holds, it opens up more room; if it doesn’t, it raises the suspicion of a double top.
Support below is around MA20 at 96.04; if it breaks, then look to the prior dense zone at 91.58.
My plan: pull back to 98.2 to go long. If it breaks below 96, admit the mistake and exit. If it rises to 101.5, cut the position by half.
If it breaks 101.99 on heavy volume, cut half and then chase with the remaining portion.
The part I can’t be sure about is: will the overbought condition first spike a needle move? With an RSI of 77.3, the probability of an RSI “washout” isn’t low.
Your cost is at 97 or 102—if a needle spike happens, will your mindset be the same?
Many people don’t make the wrong direction—their position gets worn to death by a narrow-range choppy grind.
The Bollinger Band width is 4.6%, so the upper and lower rails are only 3,593 points apart. The market isn’t far from a regime change.
The price is pinned near the upper rail at around 78,986. RSI is 64.1 and leaning strong. It’s not yet overbought, and the bulls still have power.
But the MACD is bearish. When price taps higher, it doesn’t follow—there’s a hint of a bearish divergence near the top.
The volume ratio is 0.0. In the last 24 hours, volume is 2.368 billion (1.0x). With volume shrinking like this, how does it break above 80,000?
80,000 is the 24h high plus the round-number level. 79,878 is also pressing. Two hurdles, close together.
Below, the MA20 is at 78,454. If that short-term line breaks, it would turn weak.
The real support is the dense zone between 75,546 and 75,873.
MA5 is at 78,926, hugging the current price. MA20 and MA50 are both underneath. The bullish alignment hasn’t broken—overall sentiment is slightly bullish: 2 long, 1 short.
I’m holding my core position and not chasing. As long as the pullback to 78,454 doesn’t break, I’ll keep holding.
If it breaks below the MA50 at 77,627, I’ll admit I’m wrong and exit.
On a rebound to 79,878 or 80,000, I’ll first reduce by one-third.
If it stands above 80,000 on increased volume, I’ll take back the reduced portion.
This isn’t investment advice. When I was losing money, you didn’t send me any either.
A reminder to myself: don’t let a narrow-range market grind away your patience.
With a click of the lighter, the flame leapt up—but you still had smoke in your mouth and didn’t light it. Your fingers were still trembling.
Your eyelids felt heavy, and you propped them up with a toothpick. You waited for a rebound all night, but it never came.
That week when FTX collapsed, I was sitting the same way. Watching billions and billions on the screen turn into nothing overnight. The private keys of hundreds of thousands of people were all in someone else’s pocket. They didn’t even have a chance to run.
Today, Bitcoin has come back. If it were still up on the order book, you could see it and touch it. 78,926—up 1 point over the last 24 hours, with $2.4 billion in trading volume. The numbers jump pretty steadily.
But stable numbers don’t mean your position is stable. As long as it’s still on someone else’s ledger, it can turn into someone else’s money at any time.
If you placed an order today at 78,926, do you dare to first ask yourself: when you close the position next, will it all be in your own wallet?
At 4 a.m., someone’s long position at 2,470 is still up and glowing.
This level is interesting. MA5 is at 2,473, MA20 at 2,468, and the price is squeezed right in between—only a five-dollar gap—like a taut thin wire. Before the close, whichever side loosens first, the other side won’t be able to keep up.
At 2,474, it’s up 1.23% with turnover of 1.26 billion U. But volume is only a fraction of the 20-day average. This isn’t fresh money coming in—it’s existing funds turning over. Liquidity at midnight is just like this: bids are thin, offers are thin too. One big order can punch out a needle that spans dozens of dollars. It’s not strange that it can rise—when nobody is taking the other side, the drop can be just as fast.
Right now, the price is perfectly locked into the dense trading zone between 2,470 and 2,475. Before that, from 2,533 down to 2,425, there was a long stretch of multiple sweeps back and forth between bulls and bears; that’s where positions were built the most. Above, around 2,532, it’s crowded with people waiting to break even. Below, from 2,355 to 2,369, lies strong support from the past two weeks. S1 and S2 are so close together—by itself, it suggests nobody in that region is willing to cut.
RSI is 55.5—slightly bullish, but not yet overbought. MACD is still in a bearish arrangement; DIF is at 9.7, but it’s hugging the zero line, so there isn’t strong directional conviction. The Bollinger Band width is 3.7%, and it’s closed extremely tight. This kind of setup usually means a squeeze before a breakout. I lean more bullish, with a 2:1 bulls-to-bears ratio.
After the market opens and the U.S. stocks close, Asia takes over the baton and liquidity returns. Whether 2,470 can hold is the real test. My own plan is to try a small long near 2,465, with a stop-loss set at 2,355. If it breaks down through, that means support has failed. First target is 2,532—if it reaches that, I’ll cut half first.
