Bitcoin Trend Analysis

After a period of decline, Bitcoin’s price has continued to consolidate and recover. The intraday pullback resulted in a rebound, and the current price is above 86,000. This high level has reached short-term resistance, and the next resistance level to watch is the intraday high. If the rebound fails to break and stabilize above this area, there is a risk of further pullback to support. Conversely, if it breaks upwards, the price may move further towards the 90,000 level. Looking at the short-term hourly chart, the price is currently under pressure and undergoing a pullback. The short-term rebound is relatively weak, and the price is expected to test lower levels further. The key support level to watch is 85,000. If this level holds, the price will continue to consolidate within the range; otherwise, it will test lower levels again. Our current strategy remains to buy low and sell high. The upper resistance level to watch is 89,000, and the lower support level is around 85,000. If this level holds, the downtrend is unlikely to begin in the short term. Consider entering long positions on pullbacks, with stop-loss orders in place if the price breaks through. If the price breaks below this level, follow the trend with short positions to capture short-term profits

Short at 87500-88500, stop loss at 90500, target below 865000. Long at 85300-84300, stop loss at 500, stop loss at 80000, target above 86300

Bitcoin Trend Analysis Today

From a technical perspective, BTC has broken through several key support levels recently. Short-term moving averages are in a bearish alignment, with the 50-day moving average crossing below the 200-day moving average, forming a typical death cross. The trading volume has increased significantly during the decline, indicating concentrated and active selling pressure. The RSI has entered oversold territory but has not yet shown a bottom divergence, and the MACD is also showing increasing volume below the zero line, indicating a continued bearish trend. In the short term, BTC may consolidate at low levels with limited rebound potential. Unless there is a significant increase in volume and stabilization, stronger on-chain buying, and a recovery of key support levels, it is not advisable to be bullish easily.

On a larger timeframe, the expected support is around $78,000–$76,000. A further break below this level could test the $70,000 area. Resistance is around $90,000–$95,000.

Bitcoin Trend Analysis Today

Weekly Chart: The weekly trend is relatively healthy. Focus on fundamental factors. Increased internal divisions among Federal Reserve officials have cooled market expectations for a December rate cut, helping the US dollar index break through the 100 mark and reach a more than three-month high. This has significantly pressured cryptocurrencies, causing a market sell-off. Intraday consolidation is expected, awaiting a daily chart correction.

Daily Chart: The recent price action has been very robust. The daily chart is currently near key support. If it retraces to the lower Vegas Bollinger Band on the daily chart, the rebound could target the upper band, roughly around 109,000-110,000.

4-hour chart: Continuing its weak downward trend along the lower Bollinger Band, a rebound is needed after the recent pullback. Intraday short-term trading is recommended to consider a buy-on-dips strategy.

Upside resistance: 106000-107000
Downside support: 99000-98000

Bitcoin Trend Analysis

The latest BTC price is approximately $110,000-$115,000. According to data, the recent decline is around 3%. Technical indicators: the RSI is around 45, indicating a neutral to slightly bearish state; trend indicators (such as ADX) are at a moderate strength level. On-chain and cost basis analysis shows that the price is approaching the average cost range of buyers from the last 1-3 months, creating potential resistance. Key support and resistance levels: Resistance is around $113,000-$115,000; support is around $106,000-$110,000. Upside scenario: If BTC can break through the $113,000-$115,000 resistance with increased volume, it may surge towards $120,000 or higher in the short term. Downside scenario: If it fails to break through the resistance and falls below the $106,000-$110,000 support, a pullback or even a deeper correction is possible. On-chain data shows that selling pressure may increase when prices are trading below cost. Consolidation is likely: Given the neutral indicators, the market may remain in a consolidation phase, fluctuating between the aforementioned support and resistance levels, awaiting new catalysts (such as macroeconomic policies, ETF liquidity, and regulatory news).

Bitcoin trend analysis

The short-term chart shows that the market briefly touched 116,380 before retreating under pressure. In the short term, the price is facing downward pressure, having previously fallen over 2,000 points, reaching a low below 113,500. The market is showing a volatile bullish and bearish trend, with significant short-term volatility. Focus on the support level of 111,500. If it fails to break below, the market is expected to rebound and continue its upward trend, potentially testing 116,000 in the short term. On the other hand, if the price subsequently breaks below 111,500, there is a risk of further decline, and traders should be prepared. Given the short-term upward pressure, we recommend focusing on stabilization around 116,000.

Bitcoin trend analysis

Bitcoin is currently trading around 114,800. The intraday market has surged again, directly breaking through the 4-hour MA200, MA240, MA280, and MA80 lines. While the price has retreated, it has rebounded again, supported by these four lines. There is still room for further upside, and it remains to be seen whether it can break through the previous high. A closing pattern has formed within the 1H BOLL channel, with the upper limit below yesterday’s high near 116,000. However, the MACD red bar has contracted, so it is recommended not to rush into shorting! If the second test is successful, the next resistance level will be above 117,200, followed by the daily upper limit at 120,000. If buying, pay attention to the J value in the KDJ indicator, which has reached overbought territory

Bitcoin bull run intact, but key levels signal risk

Bitcoin’s bull case remains strong, but a drop below $100,000 could spell trouble.

“I think the bull market is structurally intact, but there are risks,” Thorne said, noting that the market is at a “turning point” where sentiment could shift rapidly. “If you lose $100,000 right now, I think that would cause a huge amount of anxiety, which could jeopardize the structural bull market.”

Despite the massive liquidations on October 10th, he insisted that the pullback was not driven by Bitcoin’s fundamentals. “The decline in Bitcoin… has nothing to do with Bitcoin’s fundamentals,” he said. “It’s actually trading like a macro asset.”

While short-term volatility remains, the market’s long-term structure is supported by growing institutional demand. “We’re entering the post-100,000 era, and it’s not a moment too soon,” he said. “Right now, we’re seeing this step-up—increasing passive buying of Bitcoin.”

He also dismissed the idea that Bitcoin is still following its historic four-year cycle. “I don’t believe it. It just looks different,” he said. “We’re building a stronger foundation, characterized by lower realized volatility, higher institutional holdings, and slower passive accumulation.”

Bitcoin trend analysis

The current price of Bitcoin is 110779, and BTC is currently approaching the strong support level of 106665. The technical side shows a certain bullish potential, but at the same time there is great uncertainty. The recent bullish engulfing pattern provides a preliminary signal for a reversal, and the support level of 106665 is relatively strong. If this support can be maintained and the strong resistance level of 114000 above is broken, the market may open up further room for growth. However, the moving average system shows a death cross, and both the short-term and long-term moving averages are tilted downward, indicating that the market momentum is insufficient. The K-line 2-hour formed a doji pattern at 110000. The daily sentiment is bullish but the strength is weakened. The MACD 2-hour short-term trend has turned to sideways consolidation, and the EMA 2-hour short-term moving average has strong support. I think short-term long is effective, and the short-term strategy is still shorting at high levels.

Bitcoin is currently priced at 108,100. BTC is fluctuating between key support levels at 102,000 and resistance at 112,753, lacking a clear short-term trend direction. Technically, the moving averages are entangled, weakening momentum. A bearish engulfing candlestick pattern is forming, suggesting the market may be facing some downward pressure. Selling pressure remains high at the daily highs, but the overall market remains in a period of volatile correction. The 2-hour candlestick chart shows several consecutive small bearish candlesticks accompanied by increased volume, suggesting some short-term selling pressure. The 2-hour MACD is showing bearish momentum, with a weak daily trend. The 2-hour EMA is showing significant short-term pressure, and the long-term daily trend is bearish. The overall trend indicates that BTC is encountering strong resistance after its surge, so shorting is the primary strategy, while buying on dips is recommended.

Bitcoin Catches Bid, Jumping Above $112K as Gold and Silver Plunge

Watching from the sidelines for weeks as precious metals scored record highs on a regular basis, bitcoin on Tuesday was gaining as gold and silver posted their steepest declines in years.

• Falling below $108,000 just hours ago, bitcoin surged just shy of $113,000 as precious metals experienced a steep selloff Tuesday.
• Gold plunged 5%, its largest daily drop in years, while silver fell nearly 8%.

Bitcoin is catching a bid on Tuesday as the record rally in precious metals reverses in a big way.

Gold saw a 5% decline to $4,130, its biggest daily drawdown in years. Silver also tumbled nearly 8%. The metals had surged over the past few months fueled by central banks moving into monetary easing mode, trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and signs of liquidity and credit stress in the financial system. Frustratingly to bitcoin bulls, though, those catalysts had provided little boost to the world’s largest crypto, which — with a couple of brief exceptions — has remained stuck in a tight range for months.

With the metals for at least this moment having fallen out of favor, however, money is flowing into bitcoin, which has rebounded to $112,700 after having dropped below $108,000 just hours ago. Ether also erased its overnight decline, bouncing back above $4,000.

Quinn Thomson, founder of hedge fund Lekker Capital, said last week that BTC is poised to catch up to gold’s rally. Charlie Morris, CIO of ByteTree, also argued that bitcoin’s time to rally will come when gold rolls over to consolidate.

Crypto-related stocks haven’t really gotten the news, with most in the red on Tuesday, particularly the bitcoin miners, many of which are now trading more as AI infrastructure plays.

IREN (IREN), Hut 8 (HUT) and Bitfarms (BITF) are lower by 3%-4%. Stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) is down 1.2% and Coinbase (COIN) is lower by 0.5%. Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) is managing a 1.7% gain.

Bitcoin trend analysis

From a technical perspective, BTC is currently forming consecutive bullish candlestick patterns on the daily chart, indicating an upward trend. The hourly chart has recently fluctuated at a high level, experiencing a slight pullback, but overall remains within an upward trend. The MACD hourly DIF and DEA indicators are gradually converging. The MACD histogram has shortened again after turning positive, indicating weakening momentum and warrants attention for further corrections. The hourly RSI reading is 58.27, breaking out of overbought territory, suggesting a possible period of short-term volatility or a correction. The hourly EMAs (EMA7>EMA30>EMA120) show a bullish alignment, providing strong support. While there may be a short-term pullback, the strength is limited. As long as the support level of 107,500 holds, a short-term rebound is unlikely

The RSI hourly line value is 70.7, entering the overbought range, and there may be a risk of a callback, but the daily RSI has not reached the overbought area, and the overall trend is upward. In the EMA hourly line, EMA7>EMA30>EMA120, the moving averages are in a bullish arrangement, and the short-term support levels are at 107500 and 104500 respectively. The resistance level above 112000

Weekly Chart: The weekly trend remains healthy. Focus on fundamentals and the Fed’s rate cut progress. Consolidation is expected within the day.

Daily Chart: The daily trend is showing signs of fatigue, with three consecutive bearish pullbacks being particularly noticeable.

4-Hour Chart: After breaking below the lower band, four consecutive bearish candlesticks on the hourly chart have shown no signs of a reversal. The hourly chart shows a wavy downward trend. Overall, bearish sentiment is prevalent, with all indicators favoring the bears. Further declines are expected. Shorting at high levels is recommended in the short term.

Bitcoin is currently trading at 108,700, maintaining its downward trend. Technical indicators show that the price has fallen below both short-term and long-term moving averages, with trading volume significantly decreasing, indicating a lack of market momentum. Despite the emergence of a bullish engulfing pattern and oversold signals from the RSI, reversal signs are weak, failing to establish a bottom. Furthermore, the performance of the key support level of 102,000 will be a key indicator of short-term market stability. The daily chart has seen three consecutive days of negative closes, falling from 113,028 to 109,171, demonstrating a clear downward trend. In the short term, the 2-hour chart shows a bearish bias, with the 2-hour MACD maintaining a strong downward trend and the 2-hour EMA trending bearishly.

Today’s Bitcoin Trend Analysis

The current price of Bitcoin is around 113,100. This morning, after hitting the 110,000 mark, the market rebounded to the current level near the intersection of the 1-hour EMA30 and the middle track. The upper track of the BOLL channel is continuing to close and forming a new round of top pressure with yesterday’s high point. Although the green column in the MACD intends to increase the volume, and the DIF and DEA are also trying to form a golden cross, the KDJ and RSI are close to the overbought zone. The risk of a short-term correction still exists. Even if there is room above, it will not be very large. We can pay attention to whether the middle track can stabilize and break through the first range resistance of EMA60 and EMA80. The bearish indicator on the daily line still exists, and the idea is still to rebound and go short!

Bitcoin trader says ‘time to pay attention’ to $115K BTC price

• Bitcoin drifts toward $115,000 into the weekly close ahead of a key macro week.
• BTC needs a weekly close above $114,000 to stay “bullish,” analysis says.

Bitcoin Trend Analysis Today

From a technical analysis perspective, BTC has been steadily rising on the daily chart, with yesterday’s strong bullish candle breaking through the previous high, indicating strong bullish momentum. On the hourly chart, the price has been trending upwards with a series of higher lows and higher highs, maintaining a bullish trend in the short term. Technical indicators show that the hourly MACD histogram is positive and increasing in volume, with the fast and slow lines diverging upwards, indicating strong momentum. Today’s short-term trading strategy: Buy at 116000; Sell at 118500.

The Fed’s 25 basis point interest rate cut was in line with market expectations. Cryptocurrency prices initially fell but then rebounded. While the market had already anticipated this rate cut, the Fed’s overall easing cycle is not over, and the underlying logic remains unchanged. Furthermore, the Fed’s rate cut was not the primary driver of the recent rise in cryptocurrency prices. The US dollar index and US Treasury yields initially declined but then quickly rebounded. Geopolitical risks, such as the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, tensions in the Middle East, and the impact of the energy crisis and war in Europe, also contributed to supporting cryptocurrency prices.

Today’s Bitcoin Trend Analysis

Bitcoin is currently in a clear downtrend, and technical signals indicate bearish momentum.

The price is trading below these moving averages, indicating a bearish trend. The daily chart fluctuates between 115,000-117,000, with strong support below. The 2-hour candlestick chart shows a downward trend from the high point, and the latest candlestick forms a small positive candlestick pattern, reflecting the fierce short-term battle between bulls and bears. The 2-hour EMA is under short-term pressure, while the daily EMA 120 provides long-term support. In the short term, after testing this bottom, it is recommended to go long around $114,000 and short around $117,000.

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for Bitcoin Regardless of Fed’s FOMC Decision

Two prominent crypto analysts point to bitcoin’s lag versus gold and the S&P 500 as well as the “Uptober” trend as reasons to be bullish on BTC.

• Dean Crypto Trades said bitcoin has compressed more than gold and the S&P 500 since the post-election rally, making it likely to lead the next larger move.
• Lark Davis said every September FOMC since 2020 — except in 2022 — has preceded strong bitcoin gains, reinforcing the seasonal “Uptober” trend.

Why We Need More Stablecoins

Stablecoins are quietly rewriting the rules of global finance. They give anyone, anywhere, access to money that moves instantly, across borders, with incentives aligned to users rather than banks.

Stablecoins are the real success story in crypto. In the past six years, Stablecoins have quietly become indispensable. Since 2019, people have used stablecoins to move $264.5 trillion across 18 billion in transactions. Why? Stablecoins let you hold money onchain without having to worry about volatility, making them the easiest way to store value and transact in the crypto economy.

Today’s Bitcoin Trend Analysis

Intraday Support: 114000-114500

Intraday Resistance: 116600-117200

Bitcoin market trading volume was sluggish over the weekend, with a significant decline in trading volume. Currently, Bitcoin is range-bound. Focus on the support level around 114500.

Bitcoin Trend Analysis Today

Yesterday’s CPI data was released in line with market expectations. While Bitcoin experienced brief periods of sharp fluctuations after the release, the price quickly recovered and avoided a sustained decline. This suggests the market is in the initial stages of a new trend.

Watch for opportunities to buy low if the one-hour upward trend drops back to the middle line.

The fast and slow lines have formed a golden cross and are extending upward, signaling a clear rebound.

4-Hour Chart: Bollinger Bands are opening upward, forming a breakout. The overall upward trend is relatively healthy, with each retracement lowering higher. Considering the evening’s CPI data, we recommend buying on pullbacks.
