3. Core Analysis for Today

1. Major Structure: Medium-term bullish trend intact, short-term high-level oscillation — monthly candle closes higher (+7+%), medium-term trend upward; but **$82,000** tested repeatedly without breaking through, risking double top/flat top, avoid chasing longs at high levels.
2. Short-term Rhythm: Likely to dip first then rise — obvious divergence on 1-hour/4-hour charts at high levels, evening may see initial pullback, target $80,000–79,500;
- If support holds on pullback, watch for rebound to $81,500–82,000;
- If volume increases and breaks below $78,800, trend weakens, further downside to $77,500–76,600.
3. Trading Strategy (Short-term bias) - Longs: Stabilize around $79,500–80,000 with light positions, stop loss at $78,500, target $81,200–81,800.
- Shorts: Resistance at $81,500–82,000, can take light short positions, stop loss at $82,500, target $80,200–79,500.
- Wait-and-see: Follow the breakout above $82,200 or breakdown below $78,800.

4. Macro & News

- US stocks are relatively strong, NASDAQ rising, risk appetite neutral to slightly bullish.
- US crypto legislation progress (the “Transparency Act”), long-term positive for the industry, short-term sentiment impact limited.
- Focus on tomorrow’s Federal Reserve officials’ speeches and inflation data expectations, which will influence the dollar and crypto correlation.

5. Summary

Today, BTC remains in a high-level oscillation within a bullish trend, with short-term pullback correction needed, but the medium-term bullish trend remains. Evening focus on support at $80,000 and breakout at $82,000, with a trading approach favoring buying on dips and shorting at high levels.
