I. Daily Chart (Medium-term Trend)

1. Moving Average Structure: Price has broken below the short-term 15/30-day moving averages, the medium-term upward momentum has slowed, entering a high-level correction phase, and the overall bullish structure has not been completely broken

2. Bollinger Bands: Retraced near the middle band, upper band at $2,385 as strong resistance, middle band at $2,310 as resistance, lower band at $2,247 as key medium-term support

3. Indicator Performance: MACD red bars continue to narrow, bullish momentum significantly weakens, RSI has fallen into neutral zone, no oversold condition, small further decline possible

4. Candlestick Pattern: Closing with a bearish candle, bullish upward pressure weakens, selling pressure gradually releases, representing a technical correction after an uptrend, not a trend reversal

II. 4-Hour Chart (Short-term Rhythm)

1. Trend Status: Short-term bears dominate, oscillating downward, rebound faces clear resistance, overall weak operation

2. Key Levels

◦ Resistance: $2,310 (MA resistance), $2,330–$2,347 (intraday high strong resistance), $2,385 (daily strong resistance)

◦ Support: $2,280 (intraday low), $2,250 (short-term strong support), $2,247 (Bollinger lower band defense)

3. Volume Characteristics: Falling volume during decline, decreasing volume during rebound, short-term bears in control, buying support weak

III. Intraday Core Judgment

1. Medium-term bullish trend not broken, above $2,247 still considered a bullish correction, breaking below indicates trend weakening

2. Short-term pressured by BTC weakness, mainly weak oscillation and slight decline within the day, unlikely to see a strong rebound

3. $2,280 is the short-term dividing line; holding above suggests minor correction, breaking below targets support at $2,250

IV. Intraday Trading Ideas

• Shorting: Enter short positions on rebounds to the $2,310–$2,330 range, target $2,280 and $2,250, stop-loss above $2,350

• Going Long: Support at $2,247–$2,250 for low-volume longs, target $2,310 and $2,330, stop-loss below $2,220

• Risk Control: Increased BTC volatility linked, strictly control position sizes, avoid blindly bottom-fishing
