The bullish structure of this move is still there, but with the RSI at 96.5 being this overbought—I’ve watched the market for five years and I’ve seen only a few times like this.
Now it’s at 68,644, pressed right against the resistance R2 at 68,650. Above that is R1 at 69,500.
Trading volume has contracted sharply: 1.351 billion USDT, and the 20-day average volume multiplier is only 0.0x. A volume-contracted rally means there’s no one to take over the momentum—this kind of market is the easiest to flip.
Moving averages are bullish: MA5=66,603, MA20=64,977, and price is trading above the moving averages.
MACD is bullish: DIF=708.5. The Bollinger Bands are skewed upward, with a band width of 7.6%.
All these indicators point to the upside, but an RSI of 96.5 is extreme overbought. One price “pin” can make the entire resonance go out of sync.
Support below is around 63,980. S1=63,979 and S2=64,028 are packed together—that’s a dense volume-traded zone.
At dawn/early morning, liquidity is thin and orders are sparse. Big orders can sweep stop-losses directly.
Either spike up to 69,500 first to lure longs, then drop back to 64,200; or probe down to 63,980 to sweep stops and then lift again.
I won’t chase.
Plan: go long at 64,200; stop loss at 63,800. First target 68,650, second target 69,500.
64,200 is above the 24h low of 64,166—it’s also at the upper edge of the support zone.
The stop loss at 63,800 is below the support wall. If it breaks, that means the bullish structure is gone—I’ll admit I was wrong.
If there’s a breakout above 69,500 on strong volume, then let the market play out on its own. I won’t chase the very last K-line with RSI at 96.5.
Today isn't a direction choice—it's just chips being traded between 64,000 and 65,200. BTC's low was 64,166, it touched 65,218, and the close was 65,040, up 1.28%. Turnover was 714 million USDT—about two-tenths less than the average volume yesterday. A rise on lower volume suggests sell pressure isn't heavy, but don't expect a one-shot push too high.
RSI is at 57—not overbought, and not weak either. The MACD fast and slow lines remain in a golden cross above the zero axis, and the red histogram hasn't expanded, so momentum isn't that strong. Price has already moved above MA5 over MA20—this part has been realized. Price is riding along the upper Bollinger band, but with no volume; I don't think that level can hold.
ETH is stronger than BTC today. Its low was 1,906 and the high was 1,943, closing at 1,933, up 1.85%, outperforming the “big pie.” RSI is 61, still some distance from overbought. Its MACD red histogram is expanding—also on reduced volume—but the bullish intent is a bit stronger than BTC. That said, this ETH move looks more like a rebound after BTC holds steady rather than an independent trend.
The wildest thing today was that small coin in the SOL ecosystem—I won't name it to avoid brothers rushing in to catch the falling knife. It jumped over 40%, and the volume surged by more than three times. The reason was that the project team announced a staking partnership; after the news broke, it finished the rally within fifteen minutes. With coins like this, if you're not in during the rise, when you chase you’re just standing guard.
Today the market taught me something very practical: BTC is grinding repeatedly above 64,000—grinding until the moving averages stick together, then opening up again is healthier than a straight violent surge. Volume hasn't expanded, which indicates the chip structure is stable, but it also suggests that off-exchange capital hasn't entered. The key to watch tomorrow is whether BTC can put in volume and hold above 65,200. If it can't, it will likely retest around 64,500.
My plan is: if it truly breaks above 65,200 with volume, I'll try a long, with a stop loss at 64,400. First target is 66,000. If I'm wrong, then I'll just treat it as me paying the house for a bowl of noodles. Timing—this thing—grinds you down in the daytime, and grinds you down even more at night.
I originally planned to organize my thoughts before the weekend, but ended up finding screenshots of liquidation records from 4 a.m.
I still remember that sound now. My phone buzzed, and I immediately jumped up from the bed.
Red everywhere—my position was gone, and so was my sleep. Later I learned my lesson: I set stop losses on every single order.
Only after it hurt did I understand: a good trading system isn’t there to let you make how much money—it’s there to let you sleep at night.
Tonight I was flipping through a book and saw a line: “The market never punishes risk; it only punishes reckless ignorance.” —said by Livermore. I folded down the corner of this page.
Coincidentally, let’s look at today’s $ETH . 1,934—up 1.8% over the past 24 hours, with $301 million USDT in volume.
The volume isn’t big, and the volatility is slow and steady. But with this order book sitting there calmly, it feels like it’s reminding me: look, the days you don’t bet on direction are steady every night.
I didn’t understand this before. I didn’t set stop losses for my trades, and even mocked myself with “holding positions is a mindset.”
As a result, that slap at 4 a.m. left me unable to sleep well for half a month.
In the afternoon, I watched ACE grind around 0.20. I said this wave is probably at its end. As a result, it shot up all the way to 0.2516 before stopping. Now it’s back to 0.2243—on the after-hours gainers list it’s #1, up +17.4%. The more I look at this move, the more it feels shaky. Turnover was 0.54B, and volume has shrunk to less than even a fraction of the average volume. When it was pulled up to 0.2516, there still wasn’t a surge in volume—so tomorrow morning giving back is highly likely. The price has been pushed back below the MA5 and MA20 lines, with 0.227 and 0.228 acting as two pressure zones. MACD is bearish; the DIF is stuck at 0.0071. RSI is 48.4—can’t support a continuous uptrend. All three signals point downward. This confluence is more trustworthy than any single signal. 0.2516 is today’s top; if you want to go higher, you need to first see increased volume—ideally multiple times. People chasing in now are trading emotion, not money. Support below is at 0.1488. If 0.19 breaks, the decline will likely accelerate quickly. If it suddenly puts volume back and reclaims 0.2516, the short thesis is invalid—I’ll cut the loss immediately. Plan: enter short at 0.2240, stop-loss at 0.2540, first target 0.1950. If 0.1950 breaks, keep watching 0.1488. Position size: 30%. If I’m wrong, I accept the loss.
During that dip last night, BNB hovered around 600.00 for more than ten minutes. Volume didn’t expand, and the shorts couldn’t smash it down.
This morning the price gradually crawled back above the MA20. By 10 a.m. the RSI was only 52; by 2 p.m. it had already reached 55.8, and the bid is quietly absorbing.
What’s most frustrating is the Bollinger Bands—its upper, middle, and lower rails are squeezed into a bandwidth of just 0.4%, like the hourly chart has been pressed flat with an iron.
Now the price is 603.49, holding near the sticking point between MA5 and MA20. The MACD still has DIF at -0.2147, but the red bars are bulging upward, staying strong while tracing along the zero line.
600.29 is the replenishment zone that was repeatedly confirmed last night, reinforced by the 600.00 psychological round-number level. The cushion below is still fairly thick.
Going up to 608.00 is the real resistance. The previous two rebounds both died there. Trapped-position holders and breakeven/unstuck holders are piled together, so there isn’t much chance of pushing through in one shot.
My own plan is: test a small long position around 603. If it breaks below 599.5, I’ll admit it and leave. At 608, I’ll cut half, and see if I can grind through the previous high.
Trading volume is only 1.3× average—this isn’t a breakout on expanded volume. If the broader market turns and dumps, BNB won’t fall slowly either. Once 600 breaks, I’ll withdraw everything.
If I’m wrong, then I’ll just treat it as me ordering the market maker a bowl of noodles.
In the afternoon of 1894, that needle—I watched it for a long time but didn’t get on. Now that I think about it, I was just too slow.
In 1920, the price has risen above MA5 1919 and MA20 1915. MA50 1908 is also right under our feet. RSI is 59.6, and MACD is bullish. I counted the signals—3 longs and 0 shorts; the pattern is leaning bullish. But the trading volume is only 283 million USDT, with a volume ratio of 0.0. That’s kind of awkward. The direction is bullish, but this volume makes me a bit unsure. It’s rising on contracting volume—nobody dares to chase, and sell pressure isn’t that big either. The Bollinger Band bandwidth is only 1.6%, with the upper and lower bands squeezed together. It’s choosing a direction soon. It’s only 10 points from the upper Bollinger Band at 1930, and the 24-hour high is also around here. 1924 is just a small step; 1930 is the hard bone. To get up there, you need a surge in volume. 1886/1889 below aren’t far from here. Hold onto it, and the long-side structure hasn’t broken. Lose it, and all the moving averages turn into resistance.
I plan to pull back to the range between MA20 1915 and MA50 1908 and enter in batches. If it breaks below 1885, I’ll admit I was wrong. At 1930, I’ll cut my position in half first. Once it holds above 1930, I’ll look for higher. I won’t chase an upside breakout without volume. If you follow the trade and lose, that’s on you. Even if you win, you won’t get a single cent from me.
We’ve gotten so used to finding clever solutions. We thought that getting around the city walls was a real skill.
Zeng Guofan didn’t. He built a strong fortified camp and fought stubborn, drawn-out battles. Wherever he went, he first dug trenches—protected himself, then went from there.
Today $ETH 1918, it only rose 1.14% in 24 hours. Turnover was 283 million, not much volume, and the price didn’t really move. Others would have gotten bored long ago. But I actually think the market is honest. No tricks, no fake breakouts. It just sits there—forcing you to see clearly what your hand is.
Don’t lose the defensive position; opportunities will come in due time.
I’ll move only after it builds volume and holds that level.
MA5 64482 is hanging overhead, MA20 63942 is supporting from below, and MA50 63626 is also underneath. Price has moved above all moving averages; the moving averages are naturally in a bullish alignment, and the trend is in an acceleration phase.
RSI is 66.6—just one breath away from being overbought. The MACD bars are still in the bullish zone and haven’t turned bad.
But the volume ratio is only 0.2. With a trading value of 650 million USDT, it’s shrunk way too cleanly. When price pushes upward but volume doesn’t follow, this kind of low-volume rally doesn’t feel solid—like a sedan chair being carried by nobody.
The previous high at 65059 is capping the top; it’s the recent high in the 4-hour timeframe. Below, 62700 is the MA20 level. If price breaks below it, the bullish structure will loosen.
This is how I plan to handle it: wait for a pullback into the 62800 to 63000 range before entering. If it breaks below 62500, I’ll admit fault and exit. I’ll reduce positions and close out once it’s above 65000. This is only my own plan—profits or losses are on me.
Last time this low-volume like this happened was during the dead sideways move back in June.
Gained for a day, but the volume is only about a third of usual.
ETH moved from 1822 to 1981, covering it in a single day. Now it has paused at 1916.
A trading volume of 275 million USDT isn’t enough to match this kind of volatility.
Daily RSI 52.7: neutral but slightly strong. However, the MACD is still in bearish territory.
MA5 at 1901 is above MA20 at 1889, and the price at 1916 is also above both moving averages. In the short term, the moving averages are in a bullish alignment.
MA50 at 1858 is below as support, and the mid-term structure hasn’t broken down either.
On the Bollinger Bands, the upper band at 1929 is right overhead. The bandwidth is only 4.2%—it’s almost being squeezed flat.
On the 1-hour chart: RSI 49.2 and bearish MACD. On the 15-minute chart: RSI 56.9 and a bullish MACD crossover. At smaller timeframes it wants to take the lead, but the volume ratio is 0.0—nobody’s following.
With this kind of contraction, it can only be treated as consolidation—not a launch, and not a capitulation either.
1967 and 1981 are the previous high lock-up zones. The first time it tags them, there’s a high probability of selling pressure.
I’ll wait for a pullback to 1901–1907 and enter only after it holds there. My stop loss is below 1889—this is my tolerance.
If it increases in volume and holds above 1929, then I’ll look at 1967. Only a break above 1981 would have the credentials to say the trend has changed.
Below, 1713/1695 is the prior low support zone. In between, 1889 is only the first buffer.
XRP futures can’t be called overly excited—neither the longs nor the shorts really dared to push; it’s just grinding with low volume.
Price is 1.0044, edging along the high 1.0067.
Turnover is 410 million USDT, and the volume is only a fraction of the 20-day average.
RSI 59.6 is slightly strong. MACD is bullish, but the DIF is only 0.0008, so the momentum is average.
MA5 is 1.0019, MA20 is 1.0007. With price above these levels, the short-term structure is still bullish.
The Bollinger Bands are slightly upward, with bandwidth at 1.1%. It’s narrow—so the market is basically holding in tension, waiting for direction.
1.007 above is the first hurdle; 1.0086 is tougher. Below, 0.9893 and 0.9888 are only 5 points apart. This isn’t a double support—it's thin paper. If it breaks, it’ll trigger stop-loss orders.
In a low-volume market, if the funding rate spikes higher, a pullback could come at any time.
I plan to buy the pullback at 1.0007 first; if it drops to 0.9893, I’ll add. My stop-loss is below 0.9888. On a rebound to 1.007, I’ll cut half, and the rest depends on 1.0086. This is within my risk tolerance—so you weigh it yourself.
In the afternoon, it’ll likely grind between 1.0007 and 1.007. Only an increase in volume really counts.
Wait for volume to pick up; otherwise it’s just noise.
64,028 once it went down, the order from the bag-holder was swallowed in a single bite. But the rebound up to MA5 at 64,461 didn’t have much steam. Volume ratio 0.5, turnover 741 million. With this kind of volume, whether it’s selling or pulling looks like a test.
4-hour RSI 67.4, MACD is still bullish—the direction isn’t broken. 1-hour MACD flipped bearish; the price is being held down by MA5 and MA20. 15-minute RSI 15.6, oversold. Volume ratio 0.0—any rebound is likely also fake.
The Bollinger Band runs from 64,002 to 65,007. Price is sticking below the middle band; band width is 1.6%. This kind of convergence usually means something big is being compressed. But which direction it’ll break first—I really don’t know.
63,300 is the level that keeps getting absorbed; once it breaks, stop-losses will trigger in a chain. 65,059 is the 24-hour high; from 64,892 in this area, there are lots of short positions. On smaller timeframes it goes against the larger timeframe—so only trade key levels, don’t chase breakouts. I plan to wait for the rebound back to this area to short; stop-loss 65,150; target 63,300. Everyone’s cost basis is different—can you dare to match my position size? Whether it can reach my entry level, I’m really not sure.
