Bitcoin Market Recap
Bitcoin surged to 82,800 yesterday then faced resistance and pulled back, dropping to around 80,600, experiencing over 2,000 points of retracement. But the price never effectively broke below the key support of 80,000, so the bears haven't yet opened the downside space. The current market is in a consolidation phase; bulls shouldn't blindly call for new highs. The market still needs to move step by step; don’t be swayed by short-term rises and falls.
Operational Reference
Attempt Short Strategy: Wait for the price to rebound to the strong resistance zone of 83,000-84,000, with a small stop-loss for light positions.
Low-Position Long Strategy: Patience is advised, wait for support around 79,500-78,500, then enter in batches, with a larger safety cushion.

Ethereum Market Recap
Yesterday, it retraced from 2,420 to 2,310, overall in a consolidation phase after a high-level correction. There is obvious resistance near previous highs, and there's a significant chance of further retracement at high levels, with support around 2,300 being critical.
Operational Reference
Attempt Short Strategy: Focus on the previous high resistance at 2,480-2,520, where high-level retracement is likely.
Low-Position Long Strategy: Rely on the 2,300 level for light long entries, with a small stop-loss of 20-30 points. Even if it incurs a loss, it remains controllable. If support holds and a rebound begins, targets can be 2,400 or even 2,500. Using small stop-losses to capture hundreds of points of profit offers high cost-effectiveness.

Gold
News Analysis
Middle East situation gradually eases, the US dollar index continues to weaken, combined with the Fed's rate cut expectations rising, market safe-haven sentiment and rate cut benefits resonate, greatly boosting gold's upward momentum. Overnight, gold prices surged significantly, bullish sentiment fully warmed, and the overall favorable pattern remains short-term.
Technical Analysis
Daily chart successfully broke through short-term moving average resistance, reversing the previous weak oscillation, forming a W-bottom structure, and establishing a bullish trend. The morning's high-range consolidation is a normal pause after a big rally, not signs of weakening. Support levels are solid below, buying interest is strong, and dips are good entry points. There is still room for upward movement. Short-term fluctuations at high levels are part of shakeouts and reaccumulation; avoid blindly chasing highs. Wait patiently for support to stabilize before entering positions to confidently capture the trend.
Operational Suggestions
Gradual long entry zone: 4,680-4,690
Target zone: 4,730-4,780

Summary
The current market is in a high-level consolidation and accumulation phase, with institutional support and a bullish trend intact, but short-term volatility is increasing, with frequent shakeouts. In operations, avoid chasing highs, wait for retracements, focus on support levels, and implement strict risk controls. If BTC holds the $80,000 level, the bullish trend continues; otherwise, be alert to short-term pullback risks.
