#策略定位:市场下探后出现反弹,但整体仍处弱势震荡。BTC在80,000附近获得支撑,ETH在2,255低点反弹。短期可能继续向上测试阻力,但上方卖压沉重。主策略为关键支撑位博弈短多,反弹至阻力位做空。


Leverage Recommendations: Conservative multi-strategy positions are limited to spot or 1-2x leverage; other short-term strategies are advised below 3x. ETH short positions still have higher priority than longs.

1. Geopolitical Dimension

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz escalate—UK joins, Gulf covert battles surface

According to Jin10 important news on May 13:

- The UK will deploy drones, fighter jets, and warships to participate in the Hormuz operation, indicating expanded Western military involvement.

- Saudi Arabia is also reported to have launched retaliatory strikes on Iran’s territory, intensifying covert conflicts in the Gulf region.

- The US April CPI annual rate hits a 3-year high (“war bill”), inflationary pressures increase.

US-China talks (May 14-15) are countdown, market risk aversion persists ahead of Trump’s visit to China.

Strategy Insight: Geopolitical conflict escalation is short-term bearish for risk assets, but Bitcoin’s “digital gold” and “safe haven” narratives may attract some funds. ETH lacks similar attributes and is more affected.

2. Economic Policy Dimension (Macro)

US CPI remains high, Fed rate cut expectations further delayed

Jin10 headlines: Iran war “bill” delivered, US April CPI hits 3-year high. Inflation exceeding expectations reinforces hawkish Fed stance. Fed’s Goolsbee states: Service sector inflation may point to overheating.

Dollar index remains strong, global uncertainty index stays high.

Strategy Insight: Macro outlook continues bearish. High inflation + strong employment = rate cuts are far off, valuation pressure on risk assets. BTC shows relative resilience; ETH remains weak.

3. On-Chain Data Dimension

Capital flows diverge: BTC slight net inflow, ETH continues net outflow

Based on crypto data analysis (May 13):

- BTC: 24h net inflow +36.03 million, price slightly down 0.34%, indicating funds are buying on dips.

- ETH: 24h net outflow -11.44 million, price down 1.34%, funds are still exiting.

- Other coins: BNB, SOL, DOGE, etc., show small net inflows; XRP net outflow.

ETH on-chain Gas fees remain at historic lows of 1-2 Gwei, network activity very low, lacking independent narrative.

Strategy Insight: Positive signals in BTC on-chain (net inflow turning positive), ETH continues bleeding. Long positions should prioritize BTC; short positions should prioritize ETH.

4. Liquidation Data Dimension

24-hour liquidations total 275 million, long-short ratio still leaning bearish

According to Coinglass data:

- Total 24h liquidations: 275 million, +21.36% increase.

- Total open interest: 135.3 billion (+0.84%).

- Long-short ratio: 48.93% / 51.07% (shorts slightly dominant).

Hyperliquid liquidation map key points

ETH liquidation heatmap shows:

- Dense long stop-loss zones below: approximately 1,973 – 2,180 (values 1973.5, 2180.0)

- Current price 2,291 is well above this zone, short-term liquidation pressure is limited.

- Dense short stop-loss zones above: approximately 2,465 – 2,591

BTC liquidation heatmap shows:

- Dense long stop-loss zones below: approximately 65,923 – 77,414

- Dense short stop-loss zones above: approximately 82,621 – 87,267 (current price near 81,000 close to lower bound)

Strategy Insight: BTC approaching upper short stop-loss zone (82,600); further rebound may trigger short squeeze. ETH’s lower liquidation zones are farther, short-term downside risk limited, but a rebound above 2,330 faces selling pressure.

5. Whale Activity Dimension

ETH large sell orders concentrated at 2,330–2,360, BTC buy support at 79,000–79,500

ETH large orders (12h):

- Sell zones: 2,330–2,360 (2,359 has 8.16 million sell orders filled, 2,340 has 1.53 million)

- Buy support zones: 2,250–2,270 (2,250 has 2.87 million buy orders, 2,260 has 540k)

- Current price 2,291 is in the middle, with heavy sell pressure above and support below.

BTC large orders (12h):

- Sell zones: 82,500–83,000 (83,000 has 9.08 million sell orders, 82,800 has 3.12 million)

- Buy support zones: 79,000–79,800 (79,500 has 4.03 million buy orders, 79,000 has 3.79 million)

- Current near 81,000, with intense short-term bid-ask battle.

Strategy Insight: Whales are placing buy orders at low levels and sell orders at high levels, creating clear oscillation zones. Resistance for ETH at 2,330–2,360, support at 2,250–2,270; for BTC resistance at 82,500–83,000, support at 79,000–79,800.

6. Technical Indicators (including ICT framework)

BTC Multi-Timeframe Resonance Analysis

1H: Price near 81,000, Bollinger bands tightening (upper 81,106, lower 80,160), KDJ golden cross upward (K60, J84.7), support 80,000 / resistance 81,100, short-term rebound continues.

4H: MACD negative histogram shrinking, DIF turning up, KDJ low-level golden cross divergence (K36, J31.4), support 79,800 / resistance 82,000, rebound ongoing, watch resistance.

Daily: Price re-approaching MA30 (~79,140), Bollinger lower band at 75,356, MACD positive histogram significantly shrinking but still positive, support 78,500 / resistance 82,923, medium-term bullish structure intact but momentum waning.

ICT Framework BTC Comprehensive Analysis

Liquidity Grab: Buyer liquidity pool (short stop-loss) at 82,500–83,000; seller liquidity pool (long stop-loss) at 79,000–79,800. Current price 81,000 is in the middle, likely to first hunt short stop-loss then fall back.

Order Block Theory: Demand order block at 78,500–79,500; supply order block at 82,800–84,000.

Fair Value Gap (FVG): 4H level shows FVG at 80,500–81,500, current price has entered this gap, with continued demand to fill up to 81,500.

Market Structure Shift: Daily bullish structure remains intact; if 4H holds above 81,500, further confirmation of rebound.

Spread and Stop-Loss Hunting: Normal volatility during Asian session, but caution for liquidity hunts during US evening.

ETH Multi-Timeframe Resonance Analysis

1H: Price at 2,291, breaking above Bollinger upper band then retracing, KDJ high (K67, J94.7) shows overbought, support 2,270 / resistance 2,302, short-term rebound momentum strong but watch for pullback.

4H: Price above MA7 (2,283), MACD about to golden cross, KDJ golden cross upward (K44, J62), support 2,260 / resistance 2,330, rebound continues but resistance heavy.

Daily: Price away from Bollinger lower band at 2,247 but still below all moving averages, MACD death cross downward, support 2,255 / resistance 2,350, bearish trend not reversed, only a rebound.

ICT Framework ETH Analysis

ICT Concepts & Signals:

Liquidity Grab: Seller liquidity pool (long stop-loss) at 2,180–2,250 (per liquidation heatmap); current 2,291 has exited this zone. Buyer liquidity pool (short stop-loss) at 2,330–2,360 (large sell orders cluster).

Order Block Theory: Demand at 2,200–2,260; supply at 2,360–2,430.

Fair Value Gap: 1H shows FVG at 2,270–2,290 filled; 4H still has gaps at 2,310–2,330.

Market Structure Shift: Daily remains bearish; 4H needs to hold above 2,330 to shift to consolidation.

Spread & Stop-Loss Hunting: ETH volatility high, recommend stop-loss at least 2.5% away.

7. BTC & ETH Strategy Details

Using the current price as of 2026-05-13 09:30 (BTC approx. 81,000, ETH approx. 2,291)

BTC Long Strategy | Short-term Play (support zone bounce)

Entry Range: 79,200 – 79,800 (near whale buy support zone)

Take Profit: Stage 1 81,200 / Stage 2 82,000 / Stage 3 83,000

Stop Loss: 78,800

Rationale: Current 81,000, support at 79,200–79,800 is whale buy zone and demand block. If price dips here without breaking lower, can aim for upward test of 82,000+. Stop at 78,800; below that invalidates bullish thesis.

BTC Short Strategy | Main Play (rebound to resistance short)

Entry Range: 82,500 – 83,200 (near supply orders and whale sell zone)

Take Profit: Stage 1 80,500 / Stage 2 79,000 / Stage 3 78,000

Stop Loss: 84,000

Rationale: 82,500–83,200 zone faces heavy whale sell orders (e.g., 2,359 filled 540k, 2,340 1.53 million), also 4H supply zone. If price rebounds here and faces resistance, can short for a correction. Stop at 84,000; above invalidates short.

ETH Long Strategy | Short-term bounce (oversold support)

Entry Range: 2,250 – 2,270 (near whale buy support and demand zone)

Take Profit: Stage 1 2,310 / Stage 2 2,350 / Stage 3 2,380

Stop Loss: 2,230

Rationale: Support at 2,250–2,270 near yesterday’s low (~2,255), whale buy orders here. If price dips here without breaking lower, can aim for rebound to 2,310–2,350. Stop at 2,230; below that support fails. Note: ETH rebound strength weaker than BTC, position size should be lighter.

ETH Short Strategy | Main play (resistance short)

Entry Range: 2,330 – 2,360 (near whale sell orders and supply zone)

Take Profit: Stage 1 2,280 / Stage 2 2,250 / Stage 3 2,200

Stop Loss: 2,390

Rationale: 2,330–2,360 zone has concentrated whale sell orders (e.g., 2,359 filled 8.16 million, 2,340 1.53 million), also 4H supply zone. If price faces resistance here, can short for correction. Stop at 2,390; above invalidates short.

Conservative Multi-Strategy | Cautious

Entry Range: 2,220 – 2,250, staggered entries (more weight closer to 2,220)

Take Profit: Stage 1 2,300 / Stage 2 2,340 / Stage 3 2,380

Stop Loss: 2,200

Core Logic: 2,220–2,250 is the lower boundary of bullish stop-loss zone (per liquidation map) and near daily Bollinger lower band (~2,247). If price drops here into oversold territory, can set up for technical rebound. Stop at 2,200; below that, exit. This strategy is only suitable for spot or 2-5% position sizes, strictly no full leverage.
