May 18, 2026, 9:41 AM Monday BTC/ETH/SOL/XAU Market Analysis
As mentioned on Saturday, there was still a dip in the Monday morning session. This early decline saw a 24-hour drop of $660 million, with 106,358 people having their assets wiped out!
This wave of decline hit the hardest with the second wave of Bitcoin, breaking below the support trend line. If 2100 cannot stabilize, it will test the 1980-2025 range;
BTC
Support 73,300
Resistance temporarily set at 79,750
The key level right now is the 75,475/78,425 range. This week, the main focus is whether Bitcoin will break down further and continue the new decline shuffle or stabilize within this range to repair indicators;
ETH
Support 2,000/1,850
Resistance temporarily set at 2,225
Since April, the rebound of the second wave of Bitcoin has been the weakest. This wave of decline has also been the most severe among the mainstream coins. ETH’s value in distress is still increasing. It looks like, if it drops further, spot positions can really be entered! This week, give it some time to observe, no need to rush;
SOL
Support 83/77
Resistance temporarily set at 89
All depends on Bitcoin’s direction; bullish or bearish follow Bitcoin’s trend!
XAU (Gold)
Over the weekend, it was mentioned that the Monday morning dip was an opportunity to add or reduce positions. The lowest point in the early session touched 4481, now at 4535. Not to mention, I will definitely profit and exit this wave of XAU. The position is not large. If there’s no opportunity today, then wait for a chance to T (trade) again;
Trading advice does not constitute any investment basis: always stay patient. As mentioned over the weekend, the more it drops, the more excited you should be. A decline means spot opportunities are coming soon. Please ensure your positions are reasonable. All this decline must be accounted for. Position management is discussed daily, but very few actually do it. Please abandon the logic that you can buy at the lowest and sell at the highest. This logic is purely subjective and not based on objective reality!
