Tuesday (5.12): Volatile at high levels, tug-of-war between 81,000–82,000, slight pullback, volume shrinks.

Wednesday (5.13): First plunge. US April CPI exceeded expectations (3.8% > 3.5%), rate cut expectations delayed, BTC broke below 80,000, low 79,802, closed at 80,287.

MACD (Daily): Bearish crossover above zero line, green bars expanding, bullish momentum exhausted, bears dominate.

RSI (14): from 68 → 38, strength weakens, approaching oversold but not yet, room for further decline.

3. Key Support & Resistance Levels (BTC/USD)

Resistance (Rebound resistance):

80,000–80,500: First strong resistance, previous support zone + breakout point, heavy trapped longs.

81,500–82,000: Strong resistance zone, last week’s high, bulls’ defensive line.

79,200: Bollinger middle band + intraday consolidation center, minor resistance.

Support (Downside defense):

77,500–77,000: First strong support, weekend low + short-term bottom.

76,500–76,000: Mid-term strong support, 50EMA + late April support zone.

75,000: Important psychological support, if broken, target 73,500.

4. Core Drivers

1. US CPI surprise (main trigger)

oApril CPI 3.8% (expected 3.5%), inflation sticky, Fed rate cut delayed to after December.

o10-year US Treasury yield breaks 4.49%, funds shift from risk assets to fixed income, BTC liquidity tightens.

2. Profit-taking at high levels + panic sell-off

oBTC rose from April low of 70,480 to over 82,000, about 16% increase, profit-taking at high levels dense.

oBreaking below 80,000 triggers algorithmic sell orders + leverage liquidations, accelerating decline.

3. ETF capital slowdown + regulatory caution

oSpot ETF still has net inflows, but scale narrows, institutions less willing to buy at high levels.

oUS crypto legislation vote approaching, market cautious, funds reluctant to buy high.

5. Market Outlook (Short-term 1–2 weeks)

Trend judgment

High-level weakening, mainly oscillation, shorting rebounds more favorable. Elevated inflation + prolonged high rates + liquidity tightening pressure BTC valuation; 82,000 top confirmed, difficult to regain strength in the short term.

Three scenarios (probability order):

1. Bearish bias (base case, 60%): Weak rebound, test 76,000–75,000; if below 75,000, target 73,500.

2. Neutral oscillation (30%): Fluctuate between 76,500–80,000, awaiting Fed speech / ETF fund signals.

3. Bullish bias (small probability, 10%): Data cools + large ETF net inflows, stabilize and rebound, return to 81,500+.

Trading strategy

Main approach: Short on rebounds

oEntry: Gradually short between 79,200–80,000
