**MARKET SUMMARY** The crypto market on 01/09/2026 remains cautious. BTC is trading around **$78,580.57 (+1.23%)**, ETH **$2,466.50 (+1.83%)**, BNB **$690.95 (+0.66%)** and SOL **$103.20 (+1.49%)**. There are no signs of strong buying flows in large-cap coins yet, while smaller altcoins are more volatileโso itโs suitable to watch rather than FOMO. The short-term trend tends to move sideways; if BTC fails to hold the support zone just below $78k, selling pressure could drag the price down to **$74โ75k**.

BTC price is currently around $77,770, below the resistance level of $81,478.87, indicating that selling pressure is increasing. If the price breaks above the EMA20, the short-term trend may continue to move downward.
Why is this setup used? โข The 4h trend is SHORT; EMA20=$78,313.75, EMA50=$78,243.46. โข RSI 15m=34.9; RSI 4h=52.7. โข ATR 1h=$515.94; the entry is near the current price, TP1 has an R:R of 1.8.
Discussion: Will the short-term SHORT trend hold until it hits TP1, or will the strong support level at $76,375.70 cause the price to bounce back and trigger the SL? What do you thinkโdoes this scenario have enough strength to reach TP1, or is there a risk of getting stopped out if the price rebounds quickly?
Todayโs market is in a cautious state: BTC around $77,630.01 (-0.81%), ETH $2,421.57 (-1.38%), BNB $686.05 (-0.95%) and SOL $101.63 (-3.82%). Flows have not yet shown overwhelming buying pressure in large-cap groups, while small-cap altcoins are moving more sharplyโthis is suitable for observation, not for FOMO.

Outlook: the short-term trend leans sideways, and is a bit weak if BTC canโt hold the most recent support zone. The positive point is that BTC has not broken support for the day; the caution point is that ETH/BNB/SOL are all slightly red, suggesting that capital has not expanded into major altcoins. With this backdrop, prioritize risk and capital management rather than chasing hot gainers.
Why this setup? โข The 4h trend is LONG, with EMA20 at $2,461.57 and EMA50 at $2,452.27, confirming upward momentum. โข The 15m RSI is 67.4; the 4h RSI is 38.3โwait for price to react in the entry zone. โข The 1h ATR is $7.2493; TP1 is set based on a profit/risk ratio of 1.8.
