⚠️ Bullish momentum weakens! BTC may experience a short-term pullback and shakeout
Current Time: April 28
Current Price: 76885.8
Underlying Asset: Bitcoin
From the current trend, after a rebound near 60,000 recently, BTC has already formed a clear upward structure. It has now reached the resistance zone of 76K—78K.
However, from a short-term perspective, the upward momentum is starting to weaken. Candlesticks have continuously shown spike-and-retrace behavior + high-level consolidation, indicating that the market has some divergence here.
In the short term, a pullback is more likely to release profit-taking orders → and then determine the next direction. Therefore, today’s strategy leans toward a short-term idea of shorting at high levels.
📊 Technical Structure Analysis
① 1-Hour Level (Short-Term Structure)
From the 1-hour chart, you can see:
MA7 has begun to flatten.
Price has repeatedly tried to push toward the 78,000 area but failed to break through.
A high-level range-bound and sideways consolidation structure has formed.
This usually means:
Short-term bulls are starting to lose momentum, and the market needs a pullback for a correction.
Key levels:
Short-term resistance:
78,200
Strong resistance:
79,500
Short-term support:
76,000
Secondary support:
74,800
As long as 78,200 cannot be broken, short-term bears still have a chance to take control.
② 4-Hour Level (Trend Structure)
From the 4-hour structure:
1️⃣ Price is already far away from the moving average.
2️⃣ The short-term rally has been relatively large.
3️⃣ Consolidation has started to appear at the high level.
This kind of structure often appears as:
Uptrend → sideways consolidation → pullback → then choose the next direction.
Therefore, today is more likely to see:
A pullback and test around 76K.
