#夏日创作营 The calm before the storm! BTC and ETH trade in sync with shrinking volume and tight range-bound movement—FOMC’s decision could ignite the next market cycle (in-depth analysis)
The biggest truth in the crypto market right now: every major coin is holding back a breakout!
As of July 26, 2026, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have fallen into an extreme low-volume, range-bound consolidation. The price action looks steady with little movement, but in reality it’s “the calm before the storm,” with the long/short battle heating up and the market waiting for a critical breakout signal. At present,

After seeing the bearish news, many people were still looking for a rebound in the chart; I, however, put my focus on the upside. A few days ago in the afternoon, MAV spiked up, but it didn’t get sustained follow-through. Every time the price pushed higher, it was short of a final push; the volume didn’t keep up, and the higher it went, the more it looked like a feint. When I saw this kind of heavy pressure at the highs, my guidance at the time was very simple: don’t chase longs—wait for it to reveal a weakness.
$MAV opened a long position around 0.01362. After that, the suppression started to

$BANK $AKE
BANK current price is 0.38018. In the past 24h it has risen 27.68%, with trading value of about 8.86 million U. First, watch the support around 0.36683; above 0.38684 is the small short-term threshold. AKE isn’t pretending either: current price 0.0032865, up 20.49% in 24h, with volume of 5.51 million U. 0.0032575 looks like a stepping stone; 0.0033369 is the previous door. 🚨 BANK corresponds to Lorenzo Protocol, assets on the BSC chain; AKE is Akedo, also on the BSC chain—these two look like little fairies coming out today to grab the mic. Brothers, don’t get carried away; when the

【$BTW Signal】After a 4H breakout, 1H volume shrinks—low-liquidity long, range-bound game
$BTW After the 4H Bollinger upper band at 0.0747 was broken, the 1H MACD histogram has contracted and volume shows signs of decaying. The funding rate is 0.0398%, which is on the high side; OI is stable, while the buy-side depth is relatively weak (Bid/Ask 0.90). The current price, 0.0754, sits right within the recommended entry range. The stop-loss is tightly set at 0.074646, with a risk-reward ratio of about 1.5. The risk of taking a position at this level is controllable and suitable for a short-term

【$BTC Signal】Shorting: 4H momentum decay + deep imbalance
$BTC 1H MACD bullish bars contracting volume; 4H Bollinger middle band suppressed; funding rate 0.0041% is on the high side. Buy-side depth is -46.12%, with sell pressure concentrated in upper-layer limit orders. Price is ranging tightly at 64,300-64,400, lacking momentum for an upside breakout.

$EUL Signal: Aggressive buy-side depth crushes the order book; negative funding rate sets a squeeze trap for shorts
$EUL The buy order book depth is 3.34 times that of the sell side. Funding rate is -0.0005%, and the forced short-covering pressure keeps building up. In the 1H Bollinger Bands, dense trading is around the upper band at 1.96; after a breakout with volume, a pullback to the 1.94 area found support.

This wave wasn’t based on guessing—the order book itself exposed the weak points. When the price dipped during the session, $HBAR finally broke below the original sideways rhythm. Those rebounds that previously looked strong couldn’t continue once they reached the key level.
Before the market had fully started, I noticed that on HBAR the sell orders above kept getting thicker. The rally lacked a bit of energy to support it—when the price went up, no one stepped in, but the pullback was very decisive. Seeing this, my judgment was to first guard against the shorts and not chase fake strength.

【$SYN Signal】4h buy-side support + 1h pullback to buy
The $SYN 4H support at 0.1638 was probed by the shorts. Buy-side depth shows a 1.40x order-wall support. A Bid/Ask Ratio of 1.40 indicates that the buyers below are proactively taking orders. After the 1H RSI fell to around 48.5, it rebounded. The MACD formed a dead cross just above the zero axis, but the volume bars are about to turn green. Under this structure, unless 0.1638 is instantaneously broken through, the bulls’ defense is solid.

This morning’s market picture is extremely clear! After the big drop, it’s just a small rebound and correction in the low zone. The overall trend is still weak—there’s absolutely no reversal strength.
Today we’ll do this:
No chasing pumps, no going heavy short—only play the range!
Pullback to support gets you a low buy; at the rebound pressure zone, take light short positions. Focus on steady range trading/quick arbitrage!

✅ Low-zone low buy: 64,000–64,100. If it holds at support, go long directly.

Why?
Higher highs and higher lows are still intact.
Strong bullish momentum on the 1H chart.
