📆 The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 bps on Sep 16 to 3.75%—4.00%, which is tightening already implemented. After that, BTC still saw a clear rebound, indicating that the macro direction cannot directly replace the optimal short-term entry location.
🧮 At the moment, it’s also not wise to be overly optimistic: open positions from 11:00—15:00 increased by about 0.41%, and the ratio of active buy vs. sell between 14:00—15:00 is only about 0.80. Positions are slightly up, but sellers hold the advantage—this set of evidence is still not enough to confirm a bottom.
I’m inclined to look for a pullback-long setup within the four-hour rebound structure. My reasons are based on price:
Support: 80043—80096. This zone connects the hour low after the breakthrough on the evening of Sep 18 (80043.10) and today’s early-afternoon low (80095.90).
Resistance: 80580—80618 / 80803—80875. These correspond to the afternoon rebound high points and the previously broken-lower-value area.
↗️ Long-on-left-side zone: 80050—80150 Hard stop-loss: 79880 First partial take-profit: 80550; second target: 80800
Only accept holding/consolidation within the range: after a 15-minute probe for support, pull back above 80100; the close should still not exceed 80150, and there should be active buy volume exceeding sell volume. Now at 80286.90, don’t count the distance in advance as an opportunity.
⏸️ If the hourly candle closes below 80043, cancel this re-entry plan. 79880 is a buffer reserved outside the support area, triggered by the contract execution price.
The most important risk to guard against here is the rebound structure degrading into a deeper correction. Therefore, only study this immediate repair phase—don’t exclude macro risks from the stop-loss considerations.
$WDC 🛰️ The move up is underway, but the trading depth is still not enough.
🧱 09:00—10:00, WDC perpetual rose from 440.51 to 441.24, but in this one hour the trading value was only about 27,000 USDT. The amount of aggressive buys is higher than sells, yet the sample is not thick.
The AI storage announcement released by the company on September 15 is background on the industry; it cannot be used to prove that the price rise over the weekend will continue. When the underlying stock is closed, local fluctuations in the perpetual order book should be discounted when assessing.
🚦 This round is no-trade. No position-opening zone is set. Stop-loss and take-profit are暂 not applicable.
Support comes from the weekend pullback lows; resistance comes from the prior hourly highs and the high-to-lower pullback area.
⛔ Around 441, neither side is worth rushing into. First, once price reaches those levels, check whether the trading value for two consecutive full hours can exceed the average of the previous 20 hours; then, confirm whether aggressive trading supports the same direction.
This is only a re-evaluation threshold, not an automatic permission to open positions. Recheck at 12:00; if volume continues to shrink, stay blank. The main risks are a thin order book and the price re-aligning again when the underlying resumes trading.
📆 Tonight at 20:30, the U.S. retail sales will be released. Tomorrow at 02:00 is the Fed decision, and at 02:30 there’s also a press conference. As of the verification of this quote, nothing has been published yet.
🧮 BTC rose by about 0.64% between 16:00 and 20:00, but open interest dropped by about 0.75%. Price rebounds alongside shrinking positions, which is not enough to confirm sustained fresh buying for now.
The pullback after breaking above 76,200 also suggests the direction before the data is not firmly established.
↗️ What I care about more is the dip-and-recovery after the release. For this round, I’m staying neutral: no new entry zone, and I won’t pre-fill a stop-loss or take-profit.
The levels to verify are very clear:
Support 75,308.40 / 74,909.40, corresponding to the afternoon and early-morning lows. Resistance 76,275.40 / 76,350—76,551, corresponding to the latest 15-minute high and the older structure.
The missing evidence is the real trading reaction after the news. Simply providing an entry price that looks especially precise can’t fill that gap.
⏸️ At 20:45, watch the first news-driven candlestick. At 21:00, check the hourly close. If the original structure is broken, it won’t automatically carry over the mid-day plan.
The most important thing tonight is to leave room for execution: even with stop-losses set very clearly, during violent volatility slippage can still happen.
📆 Today 20:30 U.S. Retail Sales and tomorrow 02:00 Fed decision—both results are still pending. At the moment, this rebound cannot be priced in advance as those outcomes.
🧮 As of 10:00, the long-account ratio is 64.55% for BTC regular accounts, 65.52% for large accounts, and large-account positioning statistics at 70.02%; from 08:00–10:00, the OI quantity increased by about 0.29%. This only reflects positioning and account distribution—it does not directly prove how much capital is bottom-fishing.
↗️ If the price returns to the prior-low area, prepare the following rebound plan:
Long on the left-side range: 74,950—75,100. Hard stop-loss: 74,550. First reduction target: 75,900. Second target: 76,200.
After a 15-minute sweep low within the range, then reclaim 75,089—and only if active buy volume exceeds sell volume—will we consider attempting a long. If at confirmation the price has already risen above 75,100, abandon this entry.
↘️ If no entry yet, and the hourly line closes below 74,909 first, the evidence that the down move will continue is stronger, so cancel the long-entry plan. We won’t take the same plan and temporarily flip to chase shorts.
⏸️ We are not yet in the long-entry range. Recheck at 12:00 and reassess before tonight’s data release; the main risk is news-driven volatility causing stop-loss execution slippage.
The price of $BTC is lower than it was at midday, yet the proportion of accounts that are bullish is even higher. In the evening, ordinary accounts are biased long by about 62%; as of 19:00, large accounts are about 70.6% long. The current funding rate is shown at about 0.0093%; if it remains until settlement, longs will still have to pay.
Account ratios are not the same as capital ratios, and large-account data only covers specific accounts, so it cannot be combined into a statement like “70% of the funds are going long.” But optimism is increasing, while price has not yet rewarded it. This divergence still makes me short-term bearish.
76,667 has just been tested, and I don’t want to chase shorts right at the low. If the next rebound sees a lot of trading but the hourly close still fails to lift, the selling pressure will be clearer than a single bearish candle.
$BTC What I’m least willing to do now is simplify this FOMC decision into: “stocks fall if they hike, and rise if they don’t.”
In August, the US core CPI year over year fell to 2.4%, but the month over month figure rose from 0.2% to 0.3%. These two sets of data send signals that don’t match. The market also still needs to digest the Fed’s stance on future interest rates. Just predicting the outcome this time doesn’t necessarily mean you can predict the price reaction.
The decision will be released at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on September 17, followed by a press conference at 2:30 a.m. For BTC, I care more about whether the low holds after the news comes out. If the guidance turns out hawkish, yet the price no longer makes new lows, that’s when the left-side clue is worth taking seriously.
At the moment, I’m keeping a defensive stance. The rebound back toward nearly $80,000 was sold off again, and I still don’t have enough evidence to place an early bet that the bearish impact has already been fully priced in.
$VVV Today’s most worth watching isn’t that it still dropped 2.7% even after 24 hours, but that after the price pulled back from 15.712 to 16.600, it didn’t quickly give the rebound back.
During the session it just surged to 16.788, and the sell orders immediately mounted a counterattack, but the price still held around 16.60. In regular accounts, 56.64% are short; in the large-holder accounts, 58.62% are short as well. Even the funding rate has turned negative.
That’s interesting: the price is being repaired, yet the shorts still aren’t willing to get off the train.
I’ll keep watching for a long on VVV. The kind of trend that’s truly likely to accelerate usually isn’t one where everyone is bullish—it's when price keeps rising and the shorts are forced to admit they were wrong.
$VVV The biggest thing to avoid in contract trading is rushing.
In fact, being slow is sometimes just being fast. Being in no position is also a position. If you don’t see an opportunity, just wait and sit tight—when the real cards that belong to you arrive, then take action with an AA and go all in.
Grayscale’s discipline is simple: after each trade ends, take the profit out and switch to holding BTC, so the money that you earned doesn’t keep staying in the contract to wait to be given back.
Set your trailing stop-loss and take-profit in advance. Wicks and spikes are the market’s business; sleeping is my business. Making money relies on judgment. Being able to keep the money relies on discipline.
$ZEC Keep watching more ZEC Next leg up buy order Maybe it wasn’t given by new longs But rather the shorts are fighting over to close their positions Just follow the left-side setup and wait to eat the meat 🚀
